Lurata Lyon was kidnapped at the age of 17 during the Yugoslavia war and held for six months in solitary confinement where she was abused and beaten. Upon being rescued, she was moved to the UK as a political refugee where she was granted permission to remain in the country indefinitely. Lurata didn’t choose to be a victim of such a heinous crime, but she chose how she reacted to it, and with over 15 years’ experience, she is now a voice to those still in need.

Lurata Lyon Business:

On her arrival in the UK, Lurata initially ran her own personal training business, focusing on delivering five-star training, injury rehabilitation, nutritional advice and personal programmes. After an injury herself, she moved into the public speaking and coaching industry, and combined with her speaking engagements, her aim is to help others reach greater heights, but more importantly, give hope and inspiration to those who are down on their luck.

Lurata Lyon Author:

In 2015, she brought out her book titled The Devil Couldn’t Break Me, in which she shares her personal horrors of the war and her awful ordeal at the hands of kidnappers. She hopes the book will raise awareness and funds for charities that support women and children against violence. Lurata has also been featured in best-selling author Ralph Pezzullo’s podcast Heroes Behind Headlines where she talked about her incredible story of survival from the $150 billion-a-year business of human trafficking.
