Feeling good feels

Wellness coach and entrepreneur Lisa Raleigh is on a mission to get you feeling your best yet

- JADE TAYLOR COOKE

Lisa Raleigh is a woman who talks a mile a minute. This isn’t simply a side effect of the vitality that practically radiates off her – it’s because she’s on a mission to get her message out there. ’In the time that I have left on this Earth, I’m trying to empower as many people as I can to understand that there is another way,’ says Lisa. ‘A way to get a hold of your health, to be kind to yourself, to understand your body better, to play to its strengths and to work with its weaknesses. I’m trying to show people that there is an alternative to what we’ve been sold for so long, which is weight loss, weight loss, weight loss. Aesthetics above all. Pills and potions. The idea that things have to be hard – no pain, no gain; feast or famine; another diet. No. There is a way to have it all that doesn’t have to be so full of sacrifice, so hard and so expensive. I’m on a mission to show people how to adopt easier, more cost-effective, long-term solutions; to take out the guesswork and empower people to realise that they have more control than they think they do.’ We’ll be honest: Lisa’s solutions look like a lot more fun than most of the wellness pathways we’ve wandered down in the past…
