Build confidence and resilience that sticks.
It’s based on my lived story — from council estate chaos to global stages — combined with evidence, science, and tools that actually work in everyday life.
Why Reset to Rise Works
Journaling reduces stress and anxiety by 27% .
Daily reflection improves focus and goal success by 42% .
Group/community accountability boosts positive habit retention by up to 65% .
I’ve taken the science, added lived experience, and built a course that works for people who don’t usually “do” courses.
Just £1/month.
Because change shouldn’t cost the earth.
“It may not be easy. But it is simple. Reset the mindset. Reset your life.” – Louis Byrne

The Wellbeing Manifestation Journal
This is your reset.
No fluff. No filters. Just you, a pen, and the power to change your life.
Built from lived experience by Louis Byrne, this journal gives you straight-up tools to reflect, manifest, and take control.
It’s about graft, grit, and growth, finding your purpose and backing yourself every day.
“Find your Sweet Spot in life. “
Hair with heart. Style with soul.
With over two decades of experience — and a career on the global stage as a creative leader — my approach to hairdressing is simple: it’s about how you feel as much as how you look.
Confessions is not just a pop-up salon. It’s a space to pause, reflect, and refresh.
A place where conversation, care, and craft come together to create something truly personal.
I work with feeling and precision — enhancing your natural beauty, building shape and texture that moves with you, and helping you find what I call your Sweet Spot: that perfect balance of confidence, comfort, and style.
Whether it’s a quick reset or a full transformation, every cut, colour, and style is a collaboration — rooted in connection, creativity, and care.
“The right hair isn’t just seen in the mirror. It’s felt in your bones.”
