Myself and my daughter attended the Tales and Trails project in Monton with Lisa and the sessions have been fantastic from nature walks, foraging, creating art using natural materials to various physical activities and just general playful fun. The free resource pack is packed full of interesting items including binoculars, magnifying glass, a book for each season and of course the lovable gnome which my daughter adores. The parenting tips and various strategies that Lisa shared with us have been so helpful when dealing with emotional outbursts, as well as the relaxation techniques which we will both use going forward.
Thank you so much for your kindness and acknowledgement throughout, you are very special lady Lisa

I just want to say a massive thank you Lisa for your amazing workshop today in Manchester.
Both myself and my daughter are anxious about meeting new people and venturing out of our comfort zone but you instantly made us feel at ease.
The whole workshop was fun and informative and we couldn't stop laughing during the mirror work activity, made us realise how alike we are and why we often clash. The relaxation and body scanning was beautiful, we loved the paint pouring and getting messy sometime I don't usually allow definatly more of this to come though
Parenting is so hard at times we often forget to embrace our time together, but as you said "life is for living and making magical memories so thank you so much for your kindness, wisdom and love today, we are truly gretfull

“Oh my goodness you are one amazing woman, full of energy, laughter and expert knowledge, today has been wonderful.
We all loved the singing and Tapping session, it was crazy how good we felt afterwards, plus it was so much fun, I can't remember the last time we got engaged as a family.
The parenting tips and different ways of thinking where eye-opening and made us realise how much we don't actually listen to each other, we will certainly be implementing the "colour me happy" time-management planner into our daily lives, I know it will make sure a difference and we can see in an instant where we need to focus as a family.
​
We are looking forward to attending more event days with you Lisa, so you see us again soon
Doona and family
We have just finished our family sessions with Lisa and WOW who knew life could be so easy with the right mindset and using different approaches.
What you have taught us will stay with us many many years not just as parents but equally at work and in business.
The "welcome to your world" workbook is a phenomenal insight into how we each interpret the world especially at home, how crazy is it that we had no idea how each of us made each other feel, we can't thank you enough for everything you have taught us, our lives will never be the same Thankfully *
​
Much love and appreciation Lisa, never stop making a difference, the world needs you
