Lisa now offers shamanic healing ceremonies through facebook but mine went badly wrong and ended in lots of grief and pain. When i questioned her about this she then told me all the psychological issues she projected into my ceremony, which then manifested for some of the most painful weeks of my life. She showed zero empathy to me about how things had gone, she refused to send healing oil she promised, and basically reneged on her contractual obligations. Not only that it became clear Lisa Bardell despises men and she projects this into all her work. She gets great reviews from women, and i am sure she has heard some horror stories which she seems to project onyo any man she doesnt quite vibe with, whichbis probably a lot. She also projected her contempt for me into the ceremony as well. Finally, when I made a public comment on her Facebook page, that she uses to run her business preying on people's trust, that I'd had a terrible six weeks and asked her to send the oil she promised she deleted the comment and unfriended me. Personally I think she is one of the most horrible people I have ever met, she has exhibited borderline sociopathic personality disorder but thankfully, when she deleted my comment, which is business feedback, she lost all power over me. In the meantime her brand of healing, shamanic therapy has cost me a friend and two potential soulmates. I have handed over to higher powers my wish that she loses all of hers and experiences what she has put ne through. If you are a man, do not work with her. She is poison.

I had 2 sessions with Lisa. After these sessions I felt worse than i had ever before. I have worked with an EFT practitioner for 7 years and the only reason i went to Lisa, was because of 1 issue. My first session i found Lisa cold and i felt no rapport with her. It was a shame because her knowledge seemed great but i felt you do have to really feel comfortable to work with someone. I asked for a refund on my next 2 appointments. I appreciate the short notice on the first, so i respect she could not refund me on this. However, my other paid amount we hadn't set a date for - she was very blunt and said she doesnt offer refunds. We went back and forth and i am under a lot of stress so i gave my fiance her email to liaise with and still no joy. Lisa then offered 2 free sessions to get back on track. Which was very kind. We sent a few emails with no reply - so weeks passed. Finally she came back and said trust is broken and she is no longer offering 2 free sessions. Very confusing and not professional to retract what you say. I then said i'd like to book the final session and at least get my monies worth if there was to be no refund. I cannot do any days except Fridays or Weekends, due to work . Lisa said she can only do Tues/Wed - this was never told to me. So now Lisa cannot fit me in, i'm not happy working with her - and she still won't provide a refund. Lack of empathy for patients doesn't really suit a therapist role? I have never met any therapist who would cause stress and not reduce it. Thank god i got away! 

I attended Lisa's Mind Calm meditation course in Stockport a couple of months ago. I had a set of life coaching sessions with her over the preceding months which were incredibly beneficial and helped me improve my communication skills and confidence at work (I work as an A&E doctor). As a Buddhist I already meditate but was finding it hard to concentrate during my meditations so Lisa recommended Mind Calm. Everything about the course was top notch. The venue was beautiful and there was a friendly, non judgemental atmosphere among the participants. The technique is enjoyable and easy to use daily. It was presented in such a way that anyone could learn it no matter what their prior knowledge or experience. Lisa is extremely professional and knowledgeable about the science behind the Mind Calm technique and of neural physiology in general. She explained in detail how meditation influences the body and mind and it was clear that the health benefits of meditation reach far beyond my goal of improving concentration during meditation. I will be recommending this course to my colleagues and patients alike especially for anyone suffering from stress or tiredness. Thanks again Lisa!

I came to Lisa at the end of my tether, the pressures of having difficult health problems, working full time in a stressful job, not sleeping at night, and caring for my mum who has Alzheimers and lives with us, made life seem so hard and even practical tasks arduous. My desk at work looked like a bomb had hit it, I was so frustrated with being disorganized, struggling to get to work on time and staying late unable to catch up. I had previously done a lot of meditation but had lost my way years ago, however I was able to turn things around after just a few sessions with Lisa and the Mind Calm Workshop. By focusing and calming my mind I started to get organized, creating a small margin of time for myself, and the mind calm technique was so effective, I was able to use in short bursts, which helped me, given the lack of time in my day. Mind calm has given me the energy I need to begin my recovery process. Within a month I feel healthy again, I am sleeping at night and have the inner strength to cope with life again. Although nothing external has changed, the profound techniques used in Lisa's coaching sessions have given me practical, effective tools that I can use to support myself, creating a paradigm shift within me and giving me the skills to follow an alternate path, finding the stillness within me, which has made it all ok.

I attended the Mind Calm workshop having never meditated before and worried that it was something I would find hard to achieve. I have always found it hard to switch off with so many thoughts running through my head - like all the tabs open on a computer! I should not have worried, as Lisa herself was such a calming influence on us all. I felt eased into Mind Calm and Lisa was informative and very knowledgeable about it, answering all our questions in a way we could all understand. Lisa made meditation achievable as it should be. And yes, I can meditate! I came away feeling so positive and excited about meditating and know that it is going to be part of my daily routine from now on. To me it is life changing. Thank you Lisa!

It feels strange writing about the way I felt before I started my sessions with Lisa, because I feel like a completely different person now. When I met Lisa I was anxious, depressed, and unable to break free from destructive patterns (including eating disorders) that had consumed my day-to-day life for many years. I felt trapped within my own mind, I attempted to control situations by giving myself impossible rules to follow, and then when those situations could not be controlled I fell apart. I hoped that Lisa would help me to change my thought process. However, I certainly didn’t expect the results that followed. I am now, finally, content. Enjoying the present is something I do automatically, rather than having to tell myself to do it. I feel excited about the future, not scared, and when things don’t go my way I no longer wake up with that tight ball in my chest or feel the need to excessively control and calculate other aspects of my life. Lisa has taught me to simply breath, relax and live in the moment. For anyone looking to change their perspective and their lifestyle, I highly recommend Lisa’s coaching. Not only is she very caring, attentive (and simply very good!) I felt that she tailored the sessions well to suit my particular needs. Most importantly, Lisa gave me the practical tools and the confidence to cope by myself. I know that if life presents me with hurdles, I will be able to find a way around them and I won’t go back.

Hi Lisa just a note to thank you again so much for the workshop at the weekend. I got so much from it, it totally exceeded my expectations. Personally you were just brilliant, the whole day was engaging you are a really inspiring teacher. You were calm, in the moment and totally comfortable. A natural. Most of all, you made everything so clear. I get it, I really get it, and now my meditation practice has gone to a completely new level. Well done. Mind Calm is the way forward and I'm thoroughly recommending your workshop to friends and colleagues. This simple technique can make such a big difference in so many people's lives"

I have just recently completed Lisa's Mind Calm workshop and after many years of suffering from anxiety and depression I have to say how useful it is for my own wellbeing. The workshop is very informative and Lisa has a calming friendly approach. One of my main anxieties is travelling in a car. By using Mind Calm I am becoming more at ease and even decided to take driving lessons! Thank you Lisa I can't recommend you highly enough.

I have known Lisa Bardell now for nearly 6 months and she recently introduced me to ‘Mind Calm’, a form of meditation therapy. Lisa made the whole class feel welcome and ensured that each of us was totally at ease to calm any first time nerves. Lisa took us through the workshop techniques one step at a time and made sure that each of us understood the basis of the exercise and how to get maximum effect from our input with just the right amount of class interaction before continuing to the next exercise. Throughout the sessions I always felt totally relaxed with Lisa’s tutelage and guidance. Thank you Lisa, I shall definitely be returning for more follow up sessions.

For years I suffered with anxiety and depression which had an impact on my career and my personal relationships and my quality of life. I'd visited other counsellors with no success. By the time I came to see Lisa I thought I had come to the end of the line, I wondered if the quality of life I had was worth living. Each day I woke up with an overwhelming negativity and doom, and I felt it physically in my body. I discussed and booked a course of 6 sessions with Lisa, and was prepared to book more if I needed them. I was prepared to do whatever it took to feel better. To my surprise, I have felt life changing results after just 2 sessions. In the months since, I have seen results in both my personal and work life. If I need to return in the future I will, but for now I'm thrilled and am very grateful that the anxiety feels like a thing of the past. Thank you Lisa for all your help and support, you've changed my life :-)

went to see lisa bardell today was very disappointed. after waiting half an hour to see her. Initial, free consultation was 4.30. but actually got in to see her at 5pm, with a short apology of how she did not know we were waiting outside, she had told us not to ring her bell as she could be in a session and to ring her phone which we did three times to which she replied she had no missed calls on her phone gave a very short interview to which we found her to be quite cold and unfeeling in her approach. would not make an appointment with her again even if it was free

" The Mind Calm workshop I attended was really enjoyable and calming, and I would highly recommend Lisa as a coach to teach meditation. It was my first session and I found that with Lisa's guidance, the technique was easy to follow and it worked straightaway for the whole group. I had imagined it was going to be difficult before attending the workshop! Lisa is very passionate about what she does and her coaching on the day was easy, flowing and made everyone feel comfortable. The support materials after the event are great, there is a book to go with the course, and lots of free support online, as well a the opportunity to repeat the workshop for free. Since attending the workshop I have been feeling a lot calmer and seeing things differently to the way I use to see them in the past. I'm in the process of rediscovering my own calm nature which I used to have, but lost over the last few years because of different life circumstances. I'm really looking forward to the next session.

" Dear Lisa, thank you for facilitating an amazing workshop and for introducing me to a simple yet effective life changing technique. The day was fun and inspiring."

If you are looking for a simple and effective meditation technique, taught in a down to earth, easy to understand way, then choose a Mind Calm workshop with Lisa Bardell. Lisa's workshops are informative and relaxed in style, with time and space to ponder and ask questions. After practising Mind Calm for one week, I have noticed that I am behaving more resourcefully in challenging situations AND thinking more creatively - all without trying. There are also additional support materials available after the workshop, which are really useful for keeping you on track. Highly recommended" Michelle - London

I was stuck, not moving just living day by day in a dark place letting my negative thoughts control my life. I sought medical advice but I didn’t feel much improvement. I decided to seek further help, and discovered Lisa on the hypnotherapy directory website. I really needed to get my life back on track because I was stuck in the past, constantly over-thinking, self conscious and my self esteem too low to go out and meet people. My friends had fallen by the wayside. I thought hypnotherapy was worth a try, and I had no idea what else to do. It was such a good decision. The sessions with Lisa helped me process the negative thoughts and more importantly control the overthinking that was taking over and ruining my life. I don't know if there is a complete cure but I certainly feel fairly re-energised, comfortable in myself, and able to start to go out and live life. Over the couple of months since the sessions started, I am seeing the good in life and looking forward instead of living in the past. If you're in the same place, my recommendation is to try it. You have nothing to lose but a lot to gain. Andy, Cheshire
