Hi, I’m Helen,

As well as an ICF qualified coach, I'm an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Practitioner and mum to two teenage boys. I have northern roots but have called Wiltshire home for over a decade, after chapters in both London and Oxford.

In my earlier career, I worked in the charity sector in corporate fundraising; organising events, working with celebrities. It was fun, varied and full of purpose, but what I loved most was the knowledge that I was helping people.

My Story and Why I do This Work

My own journey with grief began over a decade ago when my mum lost her three year battle with cancer. I was 40, she was 70, and my boys were just 4 and 6. It shook my world and left me without my mum at a time when I still needed her so much. I then lost my dad during the pandemic and had to say goodbye to him dressed in PPE on a COVID ward. I won’t lie, it’s been tough.

Trying to grieve while supporting my children through their own emotions, working and leading a busy life was incredibly hard. I kept going, holding everything together on the outside, but inside I felt lost. Life didn’t feel ‘normal’ anymore, because normal had vanished.

Loss has shaped me in ways I couldn’t have imagined. At 52 my husband says I’m a different person - and I feel that too. But that’s not a bad thing. I have made peace with my own loss and released the trauma, I have learnt what makes me happy and I feel confident, wise and at peace.

It took me a while to get my sparkle back and it’s why I’m so passionate about helping others find theirs. I am the support I wish I’d had- a calm, compassionate, understanding space where you can lighten the weight of your grief, regulate, reconnect with yourself, and work out what comes next.
