About

Welcome to your Wellness Haven.

I’m Helen, author of: Resilience Tools: Navigating Trauma and PTSD for Survivors and Partners Toward a Healthy Mind and Body.

For over 29 years, I have been dedicated to guiding thousands of individuals as a Health Coach and Personal Trainer. My journey to wellness has been deeply personal, leading me to uncover unique methods for achieving a fully functional, pain-free body for both myself and those under my care. With a profound understanding of physiology and an intuitive touch, I specialise in recognising the body’s distress signals and facilitating the release of emotional distress for my clients.

My resilience shines through my life story. Despite facing life-threatening situations multiple times, I’ve found the strength to overcome near-death experiences, rebuild my physical health, and restore my mental well-being without medication.

Before diving into the realm of health, I leveraged my teaching background to nurture the development of thousands of children from birth to five years old. I designed and constructed a Long Day Care Centre, guided by my philosophy encapsulated in my Master’s in Education Thesis titled ‘Emotional Competence: a Developmental Process Left to Chance.’

With the rigour of an academic researcher, I’ve equipped myself with a profound understanding of emotions and the intricate needs of the body, both at a cellular and nutritional level. These insights serve as my compass as I navigate the challenging journey of surviving trauma and living with PTSD.

I’m deeply passionate about helping others find peace and wellness from their trauma and PTSD, recognising that it’s a lifelong journey. My unwavering aim is to extend the reach of my experiences and knowledge through this website, offering invaluable insights to help individuals live healthy, fulfilling lives despite the formidable challenges posed by trauma and PTSD. I will continue to add here to the wealth of knowledge that is in my book: Resilience Toolkit.

When I’m not guiding others towards wellness, you can find me residing in the breathtaking landscapes of Sydney, Australia, finding solace at the beach alongside Benson, my ever-present and loyal canine companion.

Thank you for visiting Helen’s Resilience and Wellness Haven. Let’s embark on this journey to wellness together!
