Everything you need to know about Barefoot Trainers

Barefoot Trainers is a learning and development organisation, providing training and coaching across a range of leadership and interpersonal skills.  We work with professional trainers and coaches in order to deliver the quality of service you would expect. We provide challenging and thought provoking sessions with a friendly, relaxed and fully interactive approach, all within a safe learning environment.

Barefoot Trainers was founded by Louise Turner, a business she established in 2015 after working for a training provider and deciding to venture out on her own. With over 25 years of experience in the training field, she now divides her time between working with groups and coaching individuals. Louise’s background includes significant experience in the hotel industry, where she was part of the management team at two well-known London hotels. After living in California for several years, she returned to England and successfully ran her own childcare business for nine years. She has also contributed to many successful initiatives and has extensive experience working in the voluntary sector.

Driven to enhance her expertise in training, Louise earned qualifications in ‘Personal Performance Coaching’ and ‘Corporate and Executive Coaching’ through the Coaching Academy. She also pursued further development by obtaining a Level 7 award for ‘Strategic Leadership’ from ILM. In her continuous pursuit of growth, Louise became an accredited trainer for the DISC personality profiles and consistently attends CPD sessions to stay up-to-date with her professional practice.

Louise is passionate about helping people achieve their goals. With a friendly, professional approach and vast life experience, she creates an environment in which clients feel comfortable and safe. This ensures they can fully benefit from their sessions, addressing challenging issues in a relaxed, non-threatening, and often fun learning environment.

At Barefoot Trainers, Louise leads a collaborative network of a highly engaged and qualified team, allowing them to deliver a personalised service for each client.
