Louisa is an AIDA Master Instructor with over a decade of freediving experience. In 2014, she founded Freedive Ibiza, the island’s first freediving school. A pioneer in competition safety, she was the first female Chief of Safety at an international depth event and is one of the most experienced female safety freedivers globally. She has served as an AIDA Judge, consultant to the AIDA Safety Committee, and competed in the 2013 Depth World Championships.

​

Louisa has been a senior safety freediver at Vertical Blue five times, serving as Chief of Staff in 2018 and 2021. She led safety teams at Blue Element (2016, 2018, 2019) and the Molchanova Grand Prix (2018), among others. She also coordinated the competition platform for major international events like the Caribbean Cup (2016) and appeared as a safety freediver in Netflix’s The Deepest Breath (2023).

​

Beyond competitions, Louisa provides safety for film productions and photoshoots worldwide, including recently for AppleTV, and has performed as an underwater dancer. She has spoken at a freediving conference in the UK and works with freedivers and non-freedivers on performance blocks using brain and body-based healing methods.

 

Her teaching style blends technical expertise with patience and a deep mind-body awareness, ensuring relaxation and enjoyment—the foundation for true progress in freediving.
