Lisa Bowen
Instructor

Lisa Bowen is Neuro Linguistic Programing (NLP) Practitioner and she has a Diploma in Neuroscience Leadership. She has always been fascinated by the subconscious mind and how we can learn to drive it instead of it driving us. Lisa is a global gypsy, having created a lifestyle that allows her to help others whilst living the life of her dreams. Her own personal development changed her life path & she founded Elisi Therapies where she worked as a Bowen therapist for over 10 years, creating a unique therapy by incorporating Energy work and NLP, later gravitating naturally to Life Coaching and; Elisi Coaching.

Her experience setting up and running her own business expanded her desire to help others help themselves and allows her to guide and support start-ups and small businesses as well as individuals. A start-up client wrote, “It’s all quite strange but she seems like a half-way house between Mary Poppins and a Jedi Knight…from what we have all seen there isn’t a business or an individual probably in the world that wouldn’t profoundly benefit from her gifts.” Her best-selling book Finding the Gorgeous in You, which is a toolkit of the tools Lisa uses for herself and her clients, became the cornerstone of her coaching program & retreats. Around the same time, Lisa became a Thinking into Results (TIR) Consultant which expanded her horizons dramatically. Working with the grandfather of changing Paradigms, Bob Proctor.

The TIR program gave her the perfect structure to support people and businesses. Her passion for inspiring and empowering others makes the journey fun so If you feel like you have lost yourself or aren’t living the life you dreamed about or don’t even know what you want in life, Lisa will guide you to the results you want with fun and purpose.

We are honored to have Lisa Bowen joining our team of instructors at Global Enlightenment Academy. She will be teaching Mindset Matters and Energy Matters, and how to put YOU back in control through mindset and energy.
