Get a Life! Speaking events
In September 2016, Lisa came to Positive Networking in Lincoln to give us "6 Ways To Grow Your Business With Heart". She delivered an entertaining, inspiring and interactive session which really challenged our delegates, so that everyone took away something to do or think about. Her pleasing but authoritative style was very well received and we are very keen on having her back.
~Mike Stokes
Director at Positive Networking Ltd
I invited Lisa to speak at a Learning Lunch and she wowed our guests with her presentation which was personable, informative, thought-provoking and motivational. We have received excellent feedback from the attendees. I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa to you.
~ Derek Ward
I enjoyed your presentation, thank you it was brill !
It was a great Learning Lunch you were a brilliant speaker!!
I wanted to thank you for a lovely evening, your talk was very inspiring and uplifting.
Lisa spoke at the Learning Lunch in Mansfield where I was also speaking. I would highly recommend her as she is an engaging and dynamic speaker, who really makes her audience think about their lives and their work. She tailors her content to suit the audience and interacts well with them while speaking.
~ Beryl Pettitt, Owner, Ridgeway Marketing
Lisa presented at the Learning Lunch in Mansfield. She is an inspirational speaker and obviously an expert in her field. As small business owners we spend so much time working on the business it's difficult to maintain a good work/life balance. Lisa helped put things into perspective and helped us all focus on how behaviour, feelings and attitude impact on our performance. She taught us how simple it is to start changing behaviour and achieve a positive outlook and power up. Fantastic!
~ Shamshad Walker, Local Business Promoter, Citylocal Nottingham
I met Lisa at a presentation at a learning lunch near Mansfield. She was a presenter and I was a guest at the occasion. It was immediately obvious that Lisa is a true professional. Engaging and knowledgeable, but more importantly, a genuinely nice person who wants to help people get the best from their lives and relationships. Call her for a chat, and you will be able to pick up on that
too.

Get a Life! Soul Purpose Coaching
Lisa is one of the most formidable coaches I have worked with. I used to joke about not letting her get to the 3rd question as that was generally her killer probe at which point all of the things holding "one" back would come tumbling out.
I have worked with Lisa where she provided distance coaching to senior managers and I have also observed her delivering coaching training.
A bundle of energy and often with unconventional solutions to everyday challenges Lisa is indeed a "secret weapon" in the modern age.
~ Stephen Bell
Associate Partner at Get The Edge UK / Musical Director / Conductor
The coaching sessions l have had with Lisa have been instrumental in identifying and addressing the stumbling blocks to my personal development; destructive and self sabotaging lines of thought and behavior, as well as instrumental in the creation and specification of personal goals.
~Mark, Nottingham
Well loved and respected, Lisa's approach is direct, challenging and professional whilst maintaining sensitivity and compassion: positivity and encouragement for the utmost benefit of the client. I express my gratitude to Lisa for the opportunity, to be able to work with an individual who has helped me be accountable to my own objectives and step closer to my fullest potential in all areas of my life. Life coaching with Lisa is highly recommended to anyone seeking awareness and help to get to the next level in their life. She definitely helps get results and if you put in the work.......they are remarkable results.
~ Cathy Dott, Innovative Life, Executive, Team Coach
This is by far the best coaching programme that I have done.It will give you the tools to make you a better person, at work and at home. This programme does exactly what it says on the tin!
~ Shabier, Business Manager
Get a Life! Personal development
I have known Lisa for over 20 years having met her within her capacity as a retailer and leader within that field.In this role she was an inspiration and mentor… a person to whom I owe my career success.
After many years in business, Lisa took her natural leadership and nurturing style of developing people to become more than they ever thought capable and made this as her sole focus… she focused on the meaningfulness part of her work as a retail leader.
With this in mind, I have been compelled to write to tell you of my story and the career transition that I am currently negotiating having been inspired to follow my dreams by Lisa.
I was empty… I had no energy, little time for my husband, children, family and friends. My temper was short and my ability to relax and have perspective on what was truly important simply did not exist.
As a friend, Lisa would patiently listen to my tales of discontent, heartache and utter frustration… then one day she pointed out the obvious…
What was I doing to change this?
I remember creating a whole raft of reasons as to why I was stuck in my scenario; finances, my age, my own fears.All of these excuses were just that.Lisa was the catalyst to my embarking on an enormous life change.
She helped me see that I had many gifts that were not required in my career and were in fact rubbished or viewed as weak. She instilled my self worth and self belief…anything is possible but only I can make it happen.
Lisa discussed with me how in my career was I living by my core values and beliefs. I wasn’t…. much of my day job went against the grain…but it paid for a comfortable lifestyle and although it was making me so unhappy I bizarrely saw this as “security.”
How crazy this all seems now!
I applied to become a primary school teacher…. A job that I always wanted to do but felt I had missed my chance.
I was accepted and am now working as a trainee teacher for nine months to attain Qualified Teacher Status.
Although I have been out of education for twenty years I have thrown myself into my studies with relish. The rewards I have reaped from following my dreams are plentiful and I recognise how poor I was before.
The climate for employment is troubled but I have a new found confidence and drive to be the one who doesn’t just succeed, but exceeds despite all the uncertainty I will face over the coming months.
My husband isn’t frightened to ask me how my day has been and my children will spend Christmas Eve with both parents for the first time in their lives this year.
Lisa has given me the strength, power and belief to follow my dreams to create a successful life… mine is only one story as there are many others to tell.
~Lorraine, Nottingham.
Lisa is a terrific therapist, an empathic and motivated trainer, an experienced mentor and coach and has a sound business
head combined with a creative heart. She's an excellent net worker and is a great friend and colleague to turn to with 'do you know anyone who...?'. I've found her so easy to work with, particularly when collaborating on turning new ideas into projects. Most of all, I find her inspiring - reminding me that the world is a positive place in which each day is just awash with possibility
~ John Armitage, Craniosacral Therapist and Founder of Natural Health in Lincoln
Lisa is the most helpful and kindest person I think I have ever worked with and spoken to.She has great experience in her
field and would recommend her to anyone.If you are feeling low or have a problem that needs resolving give Lisa a call.

“I cannot say enough about Lisa, she changed my life.” - Jane Brown
"Would like to thank Lisa from the bottom of my heart. Had an amazing coaching and reflexology session today.
You truly are gifted!! You have given me my hope, faith & vision back.....releasing the magic ;) ♥ ♥ xx"
~ Jackie Frith
"I went to see Lisa for reflexology, however, I received so much more. Lisa is intuitive by nature and recognised I was at a crossroads in my life. She reminded me of my purpose and helped me re-focus my energy on what I truly want to do. She has a gentle loving energy and has a beautiful way of giving you a gentle nudge in the right direction. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lisa".
~Kam Birdee
"I have known Lisa for a while and every piece of advice she has given has been amazing!...I had a severely depressed son and I turned to Lisa for some advice. her guidance and support has helped my son move from a very dark place into a life of hope and aspiration...so thank you so much Lisa...you are a very special person!"
~Annette C
“Fantastic natural face-lift therapy - I'm now glowing. My face says thank you and the rest of my body wants to try some therapies that Lisa offers.Lisa is an expert in her field and I can't wait till the next time I use her Services. Highly recommended."
- Ladey Adey
“Lisa is a fantastic person to work with. She inspires me time and time again and I am blessed to know her. She has the ability to get the best out of people in ways that they wouldn't always expect. This applies to both colleagues and client groups. I can't recommend her enough.”
- Lisa Gates
“Meeting and working with Lisa has made a huge difference to my life. She is a incredibly calm presence, and is a compassionate, thoughtful soul.

- Sophie Fletcher
“I have always had an interest in Complementary Therapy. I am a nurse and only wish that there was more scope in the NHS for the use of such therapies.
It took a while for me for fall pregnant with our first child – no real reason was identified, although undiagnosed hypothyroidism could have had a part to play. When I was 4-5mths pregnant, I decided I wanted to have some additional therapy to support my changing body and person! I met with Lisa at Calma and we discussed Reiki and Reflexology. I decided that Reflexology was right for me at that time and I would ‘give it a go’. Lisa was fantastic. She always made me feel very relaxed (several times I snoozed off in our sessions!) She could often tell just how I was feeling (constipation, indigestion, fatigue etc) and the sessions really helped. I really felt that as well as a therapist, she became a friend, and I really loved my sessions. She always kept me informed of what she was doing, but also knew when I needed ‘quiet time’
As I approached term, I had been advised that I might need to be induced. Lisa was able to ‘ up the pace’ and also offer advice for during labour (Would have loved here to relax me that much during the event too!) Whilst I did not have the natural birth I would loved, I still took a lot of her advice with me and I am sure that it all helped. She also gave me advice on crystals and oils to use.
In 2007 when I was expecting my daughter, I visited Lisa again. I had regular reflexology throughout the pregnancy, and extra sessions when I was overdue! I followed her advice to see a homeopath at Calma and used a labour kit. The labour was fantastic; I was calm and in control – my daughter arrived very fast and we only just got to hospital in time! I have kept in touch with Lisa and certainly hope that I will return to more sessions soon."

“Lisa is an expert at what she does - leaving clients calm, relaxed and with better inner contentment. And she always does it will a smile!”
~ Lesley Pashley
"I am a confident and busy person who always has a full social calendar and a heavy work schedule. In 2006 I developed anxiety which lead to panic attacks and regular visits to the accident and emergency room in the belief I was going to die. My life was miserable and there wasn't anybody that understood my turmoil.My panic attacks came more frequent and something had to be done,as they were stopping me from progressing in my day to day life.
The hospital referred me to my doctor where he told me that I was suffering from a form of depression. And hand in hand prescribed me with anti depressants. I felt I was depressed as a result of the anxiety and not the other way round and really didn't want to start on prescription drugs.
Luckily I found Lisa.....
She single handedly turned my life round and made me feel my normal self again, not the same as before but better.
After my very first consultation with Lisa I started to feel a sense of relief. She knew exactly how i felt and understood and listened without any judgement. She started treating me with reflexology and sent me to the health shop to get some herbal remedies specially for my condition. She also referred me to a hypnotherapist who worked in unison with lisas treatments. I started to feel better almost instantly although being completely cured was a long hard process.
I remember once being at home and having a really bad panic attack. Lisa had told me to call day or night if I needed her help,so with nobody else apart from 999 to dial that's what I did.She talked to me on the phone and calmed me down and within 10 minutes she had re arranged her schedule and came to my house and treated me there. Just knowing there's someone like Lisa in my life was a calming influence on my problem.
Lisa installed a calmness into me and taught me techniques to use that I still use today. After she had cured me from my demise I stayed friends with Lisa and still go to her for advice and call her when I have a problem to solve. She is a great woman with a great attitude to life. She deffinitely on my phone a friend list and I will always be in her debt for all the help and healing she has given to me
Thanks Lisa you're a star...."

Whilst I did not have the natural birth I would loved, I still took a lot of her advice with me and I am sure that it all helped. She also gave me advice on crystals and oils to use.
In 2007 when I was expecting my daughter, I visited Lisa again. I had regular reflexology throughout the pregnancy, and extra sessions when I was overdue! I followed her advice to see a homeopath at Calma and used a labour kit. The labour was fantastic; I was calm and in control – my daughter arrived very fast and we only just got to hospital in time! I have kept in touch with Lisa and certainly hope that I will return to more sessions soon."

"I am a confident and busy person who always has a full social calendar and a heavy work schedule. In 2006 I developed anxiety which lead to panic attacks and regular visits to the accident and emergency room in the belief I was going to die. My life was miserable and there wasn't anybody that understood my turmoil.My panic attacks came more frequent and something had to be done,as they were stopping me from progressing in my day to day life.
The hospital referred me to my doctor where he told me that I was suffering from a form of depression. And hand in hand prescribed me with anti depressants. I felt I was depressed as a result of the anxiety and not the other way round and really didn't want to start on prescription drugs.
Luckily I found Lisa.....
She single handedly turned my life round and made me feel my normal self again, not the same as before but better.
After my very first consultation with Lisa I started to feel a sense of relief. She knew exactly how i felt and understood and listened without any judgement. She started treating me with reflexology and sent me to the health shop to get some herbal remedies specially for my condition. She also referred me to a hypnotherapist who worked in unison with lisas treatments. I started to feel better almost instantly although being completely cured was a long hard process.
I remember once being at home and having a really bad panic attack. Lisa had told me to call day or night if I needed her help,so with nobody else apart from 999 to dial that's what I did.She talked to me on the phone and calmed me down and within 10 minutes she had re arranged her schedule and came to my house and treated me there. Just knowing there's someone like Lisa in my life was a calming influence on my problem.
Lisa installed a calmness into me and taught me techniques to use that I still use today. After she had cured me from my demise I stayed friends with Lisa and still go to her for advice and call her when I have a problem to solve. She is a great woman with a great attitude to life. She deffinitely on my phone a friend list and I will always be in her debt for all the help and healing she has given to me
Thanks Lisa you're a star...."
