Reiki expert Lisa Harris has an exciting and glamorous sounding past. As a professional model she spent years treading the catwalks of Paris and Milan, and she went on to win a highly coveted competition with toy manufacturer Mattel to become a 'real life' Barbie.
As a much-loved 'living doll' she appeared on TV, took part in a string of media appearances and worked with several children's charities. She says: "It was hard work, it was glamourous and it was competitive."
Lisa says working with children's charities was rewarding, but there was a darker edge to the glitz and glamour.
