Meet Lisa
“Find strength and self-discovery in the quiet moments, embrace the power of stillness during change.”
Lisa Fellowes
My personal and professional life experiences led me to coaching in mindfulness, deep relaxation and self-compassion. My aim is to help you uncover your innate wellbeing and inner balance through mindful practices, understanding the mind-body connection and rediscovering your true self.
After leaving the corporate world, both as an employee and as a self-employed consultant, I co-founded an ethical and sustainable natural health and well-being company that manufactured 100% natural hair and skin care products, which I spent my time running and managing until it was sold.
My path into mindfulness and self-compassion began when I experienced a devastating personal bereavement. I was introduced to mindfulness techniques, meditations, non-dual teachings and Buddhist practices to support me during this time of personal tragedy and my healing journey. During this difficult time, I also began my mid-life transition, commonly known as the menopause (and perimenopause).
The effect of these new practices was so powerful: I discovered my inner resilience, innate wisdom, inner stillness and found my true self. I took the decision to re-train and share this heartfelt wisdom with others. As an accredited mindfulness coach, my mission is to help you find balance, both mentally and emotionally, with a down-to-earth approach to mindfulness, compassion and self-care. My goal is to provide an inner sanctuary where resilience is built, calm is felt and lives are enriched through mindful wellness and clarity.
I am a Member of the CMA (Complementary Medical Association) and the IICT (International Institute for Complementary Therapists) and regularly improve and update my offering with CPD training (continued professional development).
I live with my husband, Marcus Fellowes, our two sons and our two dogs in Hampshire's beautiful South Downs National Park, a constant reminder of nature's calming influence. My family keep me grounded and remind me daily of life's simple joys.
In addition to my personal practice supporting women’s wellbeing, I co-run 'Awakening to Life' with my husband, where, in addition to mindfulness, we combine somatic experiencing and non-duality and explore the physical, biological, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions of being human.
