testimonial
“Hold onto your hats, people…here comes an inspired woman…”
“What an amazing opportunity this was to spend with Helen! She created a very positive, supportive environment, combined with simple, easy to use tools, and gently pointed me in the right direction to a healthier, happier me. I walked away after 12 weeks a little taller, more comfortable in my own skin and clear about what’s been stopping me from being fabulous me. My clothes fit better. I am more confident. Hold on to your hats people, here comes an inspired woman fresh from a powerful course on embodying all that makes me who I am!”
S.T.
