About Lifted Spirits
Our story
Lifted Spirits was founded by Leanne Evans-Harknett after a deeply transformative journey through fear, anxiety, and self-doubt.
In 2019, during a profound season of spiritual renewal, Leanne experienced a level of peace, clarity, and joy that reshaped her life and sense of purpose.
That transformation sparked a clear vision: to create sacred, supportive spaces where women could nurture their wellbeing, deepen their faith, grow in confidence, and reconnect with themselves and each other — without the noise of New Age wellbeing trends, pressure, or performance.
Today, Leanne is a qualified coach, retreat facilitator, and wellbeing practitioner whose work blends:
Faith-informed spiritual insight
Professional coaching and leadership development
A heart for women’s holistic wellbeing
Experience designing community and corporate wellbeing programmes for FTSE 100 organisations
Her initiatives have been featured by the BBC, and she is recognised for her ability to create warm, transformative environments where women feel seen, supported, and inspired to rise into their purpose.
Our Mission & Vision
To nurture the wellbeing, purpose, and leadership potential of women across the UK through transformational retreats that restore, empower, and equip them to grow, lead, and flourish.
We believe that when women are healthy, confident, and supported, entire families, communities, organisations, and networks thrive alongside them.
Our Vision

“I'd never heard of a Christian-based wellness service, so I was excited about it, but I wasn't sure what that would actually look like. Lifted Spirits weekly sessions have transformed my faith and connection with God, while fostering a supportive sisterhood.
During stressful times, the sessions offered peace, encouragement and reminders of God’s presence, helping me find strength and clarity through wellbeing calls, scriptures and prayer. The guidance has been a true blessing in navigating life's challenges with faith."

Testimonial
“The Lifted Spirits sessions came at the perfect time as I navigated the challenges of changing jobs, managing pressure and seeking balance. I initially expected discussions on wellbeing and prayer, but the sessions exceeded my expectations. They helped me stay grounded, calm and focused, both personally and professionally. The meditation, breathing exercises and Bible-based reflections were invaluable. I even integrated some techniques into my wellbeing coaching. Being part of the community reminded me to prioritise self-care, reflect on my values and make intentional decisions, such as leaving a draining job for the sake of my health. I wholeheartedly recommend Lifted Spirits to anyone seeking a supportive space for spiritual and personal growth. The positive impact has been transformative and I’ll continue to share this with friends and family
