I used to believe that I was insignificant until God transformed my thinking, and I now have a huge heart and passion to see women rise up and step into all that Father God has created them to be and do. This excites me, and boy it makes my heart sing when I see women believe truth of who they are because when they do, they change the world!

My name is Leanne and I am married with two kids. I was born in South Africa and met my awesome husband there before we moved to England to travel and see the world. We lived for 9 years in London before moving down to Christchurch and settling at Godfirst church.

I love the outdoors and especially the mountains and I love music, theatre and dance.

I love walking beside many ladies on their personal journeys with their Heavenly Father and seen some beautiful moments of breakthrough and healing. It brings me joy to see woman grow in freedom. Jesus is my all and everything and I am so blessed to apart of the Rise ladies team.

I’ve worked as a paediatric nurse in various settings for the last 25 years.

I fell in love with Jesus age 11, and more recently have had my world transformed by understanding the Fathers heart and my true identity as a daughter of the King.

I love living on the south coast and my favourite place is the beach – summer/winter, anytime/anywhere. I enjoy coffee, traveling, anything outdoors (except running) and take every opportunity to eat al fresco with family and friends.

My name is Caroline and I am married to a wonderful man called Paul. I’m known for my love of butterflies, teal and having a loud laugh :-D

I am passionate about women becoming overcomers, particularly from life challenges that may affect mental health or wellbeing. My desire is that women become the best version of who God created them to be.

I’m a great believer in authenticity and I don’t think women were created to hide behind masks.

I love seeing women embrace who they are and discover how valued and loved they are by our Heavenly Father... ❤️

My name is Meghan and I am so excited to be on this incredible team of women.

I currently work as a Practice Nurse in Bournemouth, and over the years I have had the privilege of nursing others at their most vulnerable. I have been blown away by God’s compassionate heart and love for his people, and my goal is to represent Him well in all I do!

I am passionate about women going after all that God has called them to, stepping into freedom and hearing His voice clearly.

I love spending time with my wonderful husband (and two kittens), including fun walks down by the beach with a good cup of tea!

My name is Sarah and I have the immense privilege of being part of this team of courageous women. We are passionate about seeing women be transformed and empowered.

I am married to my wonderful husband Chris and we have two grown up, married children. Our family has recently increased with the addition of our first precious granddaughter.

We love where we live and feel very blessed to be able to enjoy the coast, taking frequent walks on our favourite clifftop, along with spending time in the beautiful New Forest. We just love taking time out recharging and enjoying Fathers wonderful creation.

I grew up in the beautiful Peak District, Derbyshire and as an adult have lived in many places, including Ireland and Northern California; which fuelled my love for mountains and sunshine!

I have followed Jesus since I was a young girl, but in recent years have been on a journey of discovering how kind, generous, patient and proud my Father is of me! I’m learning to love and celebrate myself the way that my Father does and love to see women finding freedom and know the love of Father God.

We all have a voice, are significant and as we embrace the authority that we have as daughters of the King, we’re powerful to change the world! What a privilege it is to be on this team of powerful women!
