If self-care is always at the top of your list of priorities, you can probably thank Louise Hay for that. The woman behind the wellness bible You Can Heal Your Life peacefully passed away yesterday of natural causes at 90 years old.
Hay was a pioneer of the self-help movement, starting discussions about the mind-body connection before it was even a hot topic. Millions of people have learned to see the world in a new light through her healing techniques and positive outlook on life—her influence will never be forgotten.
According to her Facebook page, Hay passed while surrounded by loved ones—but her family extends far beyond biological ties. Many big-name fans in the wellness space shared condolences that outline just how much Hay meant to them and impacted their careers.
Here’s what 7 influential experts said about the wellness revolutionary.

2. Latham Thomas, Mama Glow founder
“I first met Louise in 2011 when I was a newly-signed Hay House author. I had the pleasure of speaking at a few of the Hay House conferences and her blessing over my books. She and I bonded over jewelry and I loved her energy. As I launch my second book under Hay House this September, I’m reminded of the love and support and her belief in me. I’m thankful for her imprint on my career path and for her lessons that helped shape my mindfulness journey.”
