My name is Lisa Joy Maria

I was a joyful child, but throughout my teenage years, I struggled with obsessive-compulsive disorder. My inner world became a dark and scary place.

 

Thankfully, at 16 I discovered what the condition was when studying A-level psychology. My self healing journey had begun. It took 3 years of training my mind, but by the time I was into my first year of university, I was free. 

​

I loved this freedom. No..... I was obsessed with it!

And I needed to keep it, no matter what! It became my lifelong mission to uncover the secret to lasting peace and happiness, regardless of life's circumstances.

 

I sought a deep, enduring peace that would remain constant. In my final year of university, I made a film about happiness and how to keep it. 

​

Becoming a primary school teacher, my first goal was to create a joyful environment where children could thrive. Over my 15 years of teaching, I dedicated myself to resolving any underlying issues that hindered their contentment, but above all, I taught them how to be happy, and how to access that deep well of contentment that's always there. 

​

Now, as an RTT therapist, I am passionate about spreading the secrets and habits of happiness. I've been studying psychology and self-help since I was 16, amassing over 20 years of extensive reading on the subject. It is now my life's mission to share the lessons I have learned. With RTT, I help uncover and remove the roots of discontent, planting a beautiful garden of joy, and guiding people to live their best lives.
