In honor of writer Louise Hay, we’ve rounded up some of her most impactful quotes
Louise Hay was more than just a writer. The so-called founder of the self-help movement helped to create a conversation around the mind-body connection, bringing spirituality into the mainstream. The New York Times best-selling author ended up creating Hay House, a publishing company that continues her legacy of self-help, spirituality, and healing.
Although Louise passed this morning of natural causes at the age of 90, Hay House will continue to honor her legacy by sharing work by those who were inspired and touched by her.

Louise’s first book, Heal Your Body, which she published at age 50, detailed the mental patterns that cause physical illness, as well as how using visualization, affirmations, and positive thoughts can help reverse illness. After she was diagnosed with cancer, Louise used herself as a guinea pig, replacing traditional drugs and therapies with affirmations, visualization, nutritional cleansing, and psychotherapy. Within six months, she was healed.
To honor Louise and those she’s touched, we’ve rounded up 11 of her most inspirational quotes. Whether you’re looking for something to remind you of your inner power, or that you’re enough, Louise has it all. May she rest in power and may her legacy live on through her work and students.
