Riverview Wellbeing Therapies - Grantham

Mal Craghill

Lisa at Riverview Wellbeing Therapies was invaluable to me in preparing for and conducting a long-distance charity bicycle ride. The event was well beyond anything I had ever attempted (675 miles over ten days with almost 30,000 feet of climbing) and I was finding it difficult to manage my mind as my training rides grew in length and the ride planning became more complex. I got in touch with Lisa, and she put together a series of sessions based around sports visualisation, a technique used by many successful elite athletes. The idea is that Lisa helps you to imagine a complete 24-hour period of the ride, so you can mentally picture what a successful day looks like. During the challenge, when the going gets tough, your brain will then believe that you have already completed days similar to this before and this helps with your self-belief that you are going to be successful.

Lisa’s coaching was fantastic. Using the framework and methods she taught me I was able to harness the images and feelings we had run through when things were particularly tough, and let my mind run free when things were going well (the concept of ‘flow’, another thing we explored during our sessions). I found that my training rides were that bit easier thanks to Lisa’s help, and when the actual ride came around her techniques helped me to get through some really gruelling days in the saddle. I completed the ride successfully despite an almost constant headwind, some very wet weather and a lot of steep climbs, and I’m indebted to Lisa for helping me along the way.

I have been lucky enough to have therapeutic sessions with Lisa over the past few weeks.
Lisa is very professional and congruent.
She is so easy to relax with and let’s you know what is going on at every stage.
Lisa certainly changes your positivity away from an negative mindset you may have and outs you at ease at all times.
I can thoroughly recommend Lisa and her wellbeing therapies.

Lisa is just wonderful. Such a lovely lady, she is very professional and personable. Her own experiences make the sessions very relatable, I always felt very at ease and time with her was extremely relaxing. I learnt so much with her regarding positive thinking and came away with tools for a much more positive mindset.

I cannot recommend Lisa enough, she has helped me understand how my brain works. She is friendly and easy to talk to, very professional and discreet. My sessions with her have made me more relaxed and positive in both my home life and work life and are pressure free so you come away very relaxed.

Lisa is very professional and will achieve a very positive outcome to any challenge to the important feeling of wellbeing and an inner peace. I spoke with Lisa for a number of sessions and always came away feeling more centred, happy and with a greater zest for life. I highly recommend Lisa’s therapy techniques and would always look to her in the future if needed. Thanks Lisa

Lisa sent me her relaxation session to listen to as I was having trouble getting off to sleep and staying asleep. Her voice is lovely to listen to (she sounds like Hermoine Norris) and I was asleep before the end of the session. I’ve used it a few times and hear different things each time so it doesn’t feel like you’re listening to the same session. Would love to try hypnotherapy sessions with her but live too far away!

I've had treatment with Lisa a number of times now and I find them really beneficial. Lisa puts you at ease, explains everything to you and is very professional. I always come away feeling much more relaxed and focused. I would be happy to recommend!

Lisa is just fantastic at her job! Professional, friendly and knowledgable. I am so thankful for all of the support after attending hynobirthing sessions while pregnant with my son who was born 31st July 2019. Harry William Ironmonger. (see pic below)
After a difficult couple of years and two losses, Lisa helped me maintain a positive outlook on this third pregnancy by helping me relax in our weekly sessions and teaching me self hypnosis.
Lisa also helped me focus on feeling in control which brought a sense of calm to my day to day. (She even took time to explain the science behind the brain along with diagrams!)
The whole experience totally empowered me and I felt excited for the birth and without fear... yes this is actually true!
The techniques she taught me were simple, effective and straight forward. I felt completely prepared and in control, something needed with being induced and having a 24+ hour labour resulting in a C-section!
I highly recommend anyone to try hypnotherapy and especially for birth along with other holistic remedies. (The high doses of pain relief were also much appreciated may I add!) I believe the mind is extremely powerful and we are able to help ourselves more if we know how- all with he help of a professional like Lisa.
My midwife also complimented me on how relaxed and calm I was throughout a lot of the difficult and most painful part of my birth. Yes it was extremely painful but I will say hypnobirthing reduced my stress and eliminated my fear/anxiety.
I will definitely be back to see her soon no doubt and will continue to practice self hypnosis.
