Rediscover your joy
Give your women the support they need — in a way that’s joyful, creative, and restorative
Many women today feel burnt out, isolated, or running on empty.
Without dedicated spaces to recharge, they may turn to mainstream wellness or New Age trends that don’t always meet their deeper needs.
Lifted Spirits offers a different kind of space. We support organisations that care deeply about women’s wellbeing, leadership, and community growth.
We design each retreat to foster rest, reflection, and growth, so women leave revitalised and equipped to lead.
Our approach is holistic, faith-informed, and outcome-driven, ensuring every experience is spiritually grounded and practically valuable.joyful, restorative retreats where women can step forward with renewed purpose

They shared their personal journey of self-discovery and provided practical ways to recognise our gifts and turn them into streams of income. I believe their coaching skills are exceptional and can lead many to success!”

“My first encounter with Lifted Spirits was through their webinar. I'll always remember it that way, as it inspired me to create my own series. Watching them built up my confidence even more. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I learned far more than anticipated. Their presence is vibrant and captivating, even through a screen. Their experiences and journey reminded me that I’m not alone on this path - that we must inspire and be inspired. Lifted Spirits certainly inspired me. They have a unique way of making you feel valued because you truly are. They not only say it, but show it. I’d tell anyone considering working with Lifted Spirits that they've made a wise decision. Personally, I’m grateful to have joined. I’m sure you’d agree, their smile alone is enough to light you up!”

“When I first started working with Lifted Spirits, I was very dissatisfied with my life. I hated myj ob but couldn’t leave due to debts, had no real sense of my passions or what would make me happy, had gone through a breakup, and was living back at home. Initially, I was quite pessimistic because of poor experiences with counselling, but after just two sessions, I noticed that Lifted Spirits truly listened. They let me lead the conversation, gave space for reflection, and never forced 'the right answers,' allowing me to come to my own conclusions. This created a greater level of trust and effective communication between us.
The journaling homework unlocked my passion for writing and storytelling, which led to the launch of my travel blog, ‘Travels In Black’ and an Instagram page of the same name. These platforms have allowed me to connect with other travel bloggers, relive my travel experiences and inspire others to travel more effectively. I now create travel plans and guides for customers and act as a personal search engine to provide the best deals - all thanks to the clarity and support I gained through Lifted Spirits.”
