MEET THE TEAM
I'm excited to introduce you to my skilled and knowledgable team who will assist me in ensuring you have the most unforgettable experience.

I have been coaching and teaching for over 35 years, which has taken me all over the world. During this time I have gathered a vast amount of knowledge in all areas of health, fitness, and wellness and have spent over 15 years lecturing in these subjects.
The Lisa Marie Method was created to demonstrate this.
I discovered early on that I was a catalyst of change, and for over 35 years I've been lucky enough to have coached, inspired and motivated thousands of people. The key areas of my teachings include helping my clients to make impactful changes to improve their mental and physical health; teaching them the importance of self love and self respect; and how to break negative cycles and integrate life changing positive habits.
In addition, I owned a large successful events business in the UK for many years, which I built myself from scratch. This has provided me with a vast amount of knowledge and skills required to create and host exceptional events.

Melly
This is Melissa's third Free Yourself Retreat, she will be teaching Traditional Kundalini Tantra Yoga as learnt directly from Mukta Jivan in India who is a master in Indian Mysticism, Tantra and Kundalini yoga.
“This is an inner yoga practise of spiritual alignment and meditation where we go deep into ourselves through tantric yoga techniques such as physical asanas, breathwork, mantras and visualisation to let go of the mind and body and anything that does not resonate with who we really are. We can retune our energetic frequency and expand our consciousness to align with our true nature, which is bliss.”
Tantra uses the divine feminine energy also called yin or moon energy to help us surrender and trust, it also helps us with our intuition our inner strength and willpower. Melissa very much looks forward to sharing this beautiful practise with you.
Ayurvedic Yoga Massage
Melissa has always felt drawn to the healing power of touch and learnt many massage techniques from her Indian father including walking up and down his back! Ayurvedic Yoga Massage combines Indian deep tissue massage removing knots and adhesions in the muscles and soft tissues with coordinated breath work and assisted yoga stretching.
It helps to eliminate toxins, releases tension, realigns the body and stimulates energy flow to leave the recipient with a profound sense of healing and wellbeing. This unique therapy was developed by Master Kusum Modak of Pune (now age 85) from India, combining Traditional Ayurvedic Massage learnt from Master Lamaye Maharaj, with Iyengar Yoga learned from BKS Iyengar himself, to create her own unique approach to Ayurvedic Massage. Melissa will be available to book for private treatments during the 6-13th April retreat.

His experience has been developed in the most varied disciplines, including music for dance, theatre, advertising, documentaries, ceremonies and meditations.
He has always connected with music through its abstract sensations, as through its different vibrations that resonate with us, with our body, with nature, with water, with everything that surrounds us, transforming energy into a journey through emotions that leads us to connect with the depths of our soul.
Sebastian will be facilitating a sound journey session on our retreat in Tarifa 6th April - 13th April.
Mara
Mara is an extremely experienced and highly respected yoga practitioner and Thai Massage Therapist.
Thai Massage is an ancient healing technique dating back to over 2.500 years ago, sometimes also described as "yoga for a lazy person", as it uses passive stretching somewhat similar to yoga poses. It is done on the floor mat, with the receiver fully clothed, their body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked, in order to increase flexibility, relieve muscle and joint tension, balance the body's energy systems, leaving you totally relaxed, often described as "floating ".
Mara uses Thai yoga Massage in combination with osteopathy, therapeutic flying and Wuo Tai, a combination of incredible techniques that are more just bodywork. It is more like a poetry of movement, an adventure of the spirit, artfully blending and customizing each treatment according to clients individual needs. Irreplaceable for golf/ polo players, those working on improving flexibility or looking for a genuine healing touch.
Mara will be available during both our Tarifa retreats for you to book your private treatments with.
