MY STORY
After 25 years within a corporate environment, mostly within sales management related roles, burn out & despondency hit and I knew I had to to do something else. What that was, I had no idea. The only thing I knew for sure was that I was not doing what I was meant to be. As one of my passions is horses, I thought that I could work with horses - I loved all things horsey so it was a no brainer right? Well, wrong!
What I didn’t plan for was the sheer panic that rose in me the day I actually left the Company. What was I doing? I had walked away from a secure career, a regular well paid salary, a Company where I was well known and well respected. I handed over my keys, phone, laptop, car and my whole being! I fell into a spiral of fear, anxiety, guilt. I was like a child whose comfort blanket had been taken away and without all of the things that my job provided me I was lost. I didn’t know who I was without it. The only thing I still knew for sure was that, my old job, that old me - wasn’t who I was either and I had a purpose I just didn’t know what that was - yet.
The road to finding out was a roller coaster ride. After many failures, a lot of souI searching and tearful times, I finally realised my passion was to help people overcome their challenges and guide them to living a full and free life. I discovered this through meeting a marvellous Coach who with just a simple conversation opened me up to the possibilities available to any of us if we can just learn how to quiet our minds and let creativity in.
I knew what I should be doing in life. The feeling I had to be able to give back and to make a difference was overwhelming and so I embarked on a learning mission. After training to be a Coach and a Master of NLP and Hypnotherapy Lisa Holton Coaching began its journey. I say began, because for me this journey will be a never ending one of new learnings, insights and discoveries on how I can help my Clients even more.
My work also allows me to be able to work with SSAFA, the Military Charity, as a Volunteer Mentor; helping Ex Military to overcome the complex and unique challenges them and their families can find tough to take on when returning to civilian life. Something I am extremely proud of.
So, this a little about me and my journey and if you are ready to embark on yours then I would be delighted to be your companion.

TESTIMONIALS
Gavin K
'Lisa - Just wanted to say Thank you for all your help. Overcoming my fear of flying I thought would never happen and every year since I can remember I’ve watched friends go on holidays and more recently disappointing my girlfriend as we can’t holiday abroad. Now I have a baby on the way and I want to be able to travel to all the places kids want to go I thought I’d try and see if I can get over this fear. As you know, I couldn’t even get myself to the bottom of the steps of the plane on a fear of flying course I took - I mean when you asked me on a scale of 1-10 how bad it was I really meant it when I said 20. But, even though I wasn’t totally convinced that my phobia had gone (its not like I could test it the next day or anything!) Me and my girlfriend flew to Scotland at Christmas for the weekend and I was still little apprehensive I’m not going to lie - but I got on that plane and flew back home without hesitating and without turning back. Thank you so much - I feel like a whole new world has opened up to me now and I know when we met I said that I was sure nothing was going to change but I was wrong. Thank You!'

“Lisa worked with us weekly over a four-month period. It wasn't like the counselling we'd had - we used exercises to understand each other’s view points and my husband and I talked a lot in those sessions. We have just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary by renewing our vows. If a situation comes up, we use the exercises Lisa gave us to resolve issues before they become destructive and now use them with our kids, too. Lisa is earnest, honest and gentle and will not judge you in anyway. It’s been life-changing for us.”

I went to see Lisa for anxiety and stress mainly to do with my work. Anxiety has been a massive part of my life and I’ve always been good at hiding it but ended up with sleepless nights. After my first session with her I felt so emotional after, I mean I cried - I really cried but I had the best nights sleep ever. I’ll be honest with you this has changed my life! I mean really changed my life. My life is no longer run by anxiety and stress. Its given me the strength to deal with everything in a completely different way. I’ve changed my job and I know I would never have had the courage to do this without Lisa’s help. Now I don’t stress and I sleep so much better. I have also taken up meditation following my sessions which has also helped loads. Most of all I know if I need Lisa’s help she is always there.

Thank you Lisa for a fantastic Vision Board Workshop. The meditation beforehand really set the scene by allowing my mind the space to focus, to create and be in the moment. I now have a beautiful vision board which is unique to me, my purpose, my goals and my vision for 2018. It hangs proudly in my office as a reminder of what is possible...Thank you Lisa

I loved the Vision board workshop Lisa. I was a sceptic - but you guided us through it brilliantly and now as I can really see how it will help me focus on what my goals are. I recommend everyone to have one. Thank you.

“I had no idea what to expect, but was immediately put at ease by Lisa who explained everything and I felt she truly listened. She has a calming influence which ripples around the room making it so much easier to be susceptible to her positivity. Afterwards, I felt like I had massive weights lifted from me. It's an emotional process, but empowering. It was amazing and tiring and I regained my passion.”
