The Warrior Goddess Studio

Hi, I'm Lisa... And yes I am asking you for money.

But please don't close this before hearing why.

By now you are thinking this is a weird way to set up a business, and it is but I want it to be born out of love and community, not fear or stress of set up costs or cutting corners and not achieving the appropriate standards for safety and comfort.

... and  honestly I can't do it without you.

I mean why don't I just fund it myself like other people who set their businesses up?

Most people have savings, ask the bank or their families for money, right?

Well I can't on any account.  As this was kinda an expected but exciting opportunity that came with its own timeline, spurred by my clients request and without giving me adequate time in terms of savings, being a single parent.  I have maxed out all my credit on getting my life and business this far. I've invested £1,000s in training and qualifications, equipment and marketing. I don't have credit cards (and don't want one  actually, dangerous little blighters lol) and I am an orphan - both of my parents passed away 10 years ago- with no immediate family here in Belfast.

I'm on my own and I'm raising a small human and even smaller dog by myself.





I'm not telling you this for you to offer me pity, I just want you to know I've explored all the options and I am serious about this request.

So why it is so important to me to do this and why should you help even if you don't know me or are involved in what I do...

I wanted to create something that was more of an experience and a community than just 60 minutes of getting sweaty.

I wanted to create the most fun, effective and kick ass fitness programme that was designed for ladies that did not like exercise, found it hard to commit to weekly classes and hated the idea of going to the gym.

I wanted to create something that was in its essence feminine but that focused on making you stronger, leaner and curvier.

I researched the best training methods, tested what ladies liked and didn't like and wanted to provide a holistic approach that impacted their whole lives.

And this was the birth of Warrior Goddess Kettlebell Training.

And why, if like me regular exercise was always a struggle,  you will actually ENJOY this!

And I did it.

I created a way for women to learn to love exercise and getting healthy and loving their bodies.  And they truly love it. 

We are getting too big for our small yoga class room and we want to do sooo much more together and offer a more comprehensive life changing experience.

And honestly, it was them that have encouraged me to take the leap.  They said "why don't you get your own space and do this full time"  and I am doing it for them and for women like them that before this programme did not like anything to do with fitness or exercise or getting into shape.





I want to have our own space and truly embody my vision.

Thiss pace will allow us to foster a true community seated on true wisdom. Learning, growing and becoming more with eachother.

A sacred space which is more than just fitness or weightloss. But about women coming together to help define what being a true goddess is. To train and feel kick ass like a warrior, but grow, feel, develop and learn to love all parts of themselves (including their bodies) like a goddess.

I just need some help. And this is where I ask you for money.

I am looking to raise £3,000 in funds to create this space in the way that I know it should be for the community to enjoy it.

The money will be invested in:
- yoga mats (£10 each)
- meditation cushions (£10 each)
- a seating area for long discussions over tea (and buying the tea!)
- kick ass fun kit like punch bags and tyre to hit with a sledgehammer and battle ropes
- flooring to ensure it is warm and safe on our feet (costing £400)
- paint and general fixtures and fittings (costing £580)
- to ensure the floor, walls and windows are safe and secure (£250 for windows to be made secure)
- an appropriate launch event- a gathering of women- for my community to come and enjoy the space for their first visit free and with some treats and give back to them and you!

The studio is to be open on 1st June due to a timeframe that is not my own and it currently looks like this (eek!).


I want it to look like this.... (the long things are yoga mats!)



So you see every £20 I get will help me.... I could get 2 yoga mats for that!

£500 would pay for the floor to be laid to ensure our feet stay warm even in winter.

£300 invests in some seating and a kitchen area to allow us to enjoy some snacks and tea together after class or workshops.

Any donation given will receive a FREE eBook download copy of my Warrior Goddess Body 200 page book (soon to be self published) worth £12.99 and different donations will receive further gifts and gratitude including an invitation to our launch event (for those that are local) which in term will include a free day pass to any workshop, class or event (again worth up to £30).

And you will see updates, pictures, hear the stories and experience the whole process with me, first!



And of course, a Warrior Goddess heart full of gratitude and love from me:

Lisa, Josh and Happy (the dog) Barwise.
