Working with Helen as my Health Coach has been incredibly productive. I’ve enjoyed setting goals and achieving results with Helen’s program. Her gentle and supportive nature has kept me inspired, and her knack of offering creative solutions and seeing the big picture was extremely helpful, especially when I doubted myself. Helen creates a deep listening space and I thoroughly recommend anyone looking to improve their wellbeing to work alongside her, she has your back. Thank you Helen.

I’ve been doing these habits for more than 5 years now after having totally fallen in love with them. So much has changed since I started practicing the habits. I’ve struggled with my health in different ways since I was a child. And I can say that I feel so much better now in my fourties than I did in my twenties. One big shift is that I haven’t had any eczema flare up year after year, when previously at this time of the year my skin is burning and itching. The habits help me to stay grounded, calm and more at ease in my life. My body mind and soul are so grateful for this journey.

These seemingly simple habits have had an immense impact for me. Throughout my adult life, I’ve tried to maintain a very healthy lifestyle, so I wasn’t sure what effect the habits would make me for me—thinking that I already embodied most of the them. But after going through the process, and learning the intricacies of the habits, I found that I could still make small changes and see major results. I’ve been going to bed early for the past several years, but now when I wake up, I feel more rested and energized. I feel so much more easeful as I start my day, which makes the rest of the day go much better. I appreciate the opportunity to get to be coached by Helen. She has deep listening skills, which allow her to be very thoughtful in her responses. She never "told" me what to do. Instead, she guided me to the right choices to fit my life.

My lifestyle has changed completely just a few weeks into Helen's  program. I work as a chef and like to eat late at night after work, drink, and be lazy. To be clear, I was/am not someone who changes life habits easily. However since taking Helen's program, I changed my lifestyle very easily and obviously for the better. I lost 5 kg in just 5 weeks, and after four months I’ve lost 12kg. I wake up feeling happy now and of all the kitchen staff at my work, I am the only one that still has energy at the end of the day. All the changes that I needed to make were things I had always known but I never did them until now. Once you join the program and understand what’s going on through Ayurveda, you will understand what I’ve said. How I got to where I am has been so simple but deep. Through learning how to analyze and understand myself through Ayurveda, I can keep doing this. If you want to have a better life, this program will give you direction.

Helen has an amazing gentle and reassuring presence as a yoga teacher. My introduction to yin yoga with Helen's outdoor classes transformed my life with better sleep, agility, athletic performance and calm. I also did some individual classes with Helen where she designed practices specifically for me. I will always appreciate Helen's guidance as the teacher who introduced me to yoga, which is now part of my daily life.

I worked with Helen for 9 months to implement healthier habits and support me with my goals. She gave me new insights into these habits, made practical suggestions for obstacles I was encountering, kept me focused and accountable and I really appreciated the follow up resources she provided to use after the sessions. Helen oozes patience, calm and positivity. She is a great listener giving 100% of her attention. She has a wealth of knowledge and I have learnt so much. I feel confident in practicing what I’ve learnt in my daily life.

Vocational Teacher (Australia)
I was introduced to the habits 4 years ago at a time in my life when I had no time for anything extra. Little did I know they would increase my energy level and seemingly give me more time. Living the habits has brought me back from a place of loss and grief back to experiencing the joy of my husband and children in the amazing life I have created. I now work from home in my own business, support my husband and my children’s lives and have time to do the things which bring me joy. I am now able to say yes to me and realize it actually supports the rest of my family too.

When I first started learning about the habits, I had shot up to 80kg due to a knee injury and having to wait for surgery. I’ll never look back now since applying the habits of thrive to my life I have now lost almost 14kg and have said goodbye to aching joints and rarely use any pain medication. I have just finished my second quarter and plan to continue as there is a huge difference from other programs in the mentoring and support.

Through Helen’s program, I’m learning about my own body and its rhythm, and how to live more naturally and eliminate toxins. Before that, I was looking for something but didn’t knowing what! 

I feel lighter in my body now. I am quick to recover from a ‘big day’. I can re-set each night and wake up surprisingly fresh in the morning. These wonderful changes come from a series of small changes that I learnt in the program. 

I feel more energetic but also grounded. It’s amazing. There’s a good cycle of living healthily and feeling good. I really look forward to learning more habits each week, to make positive changes in my day to day life. The program doesn’t bombard you with difficult tasks that requires a lot of effort. 

I have come to pay more attention to things that I do every day. And I understand how important it is to do so. This program has had an impact on my mind too. It challenged me to be honest with myself. Confronting my lack of determination head on. It made me admit my unwillingness to make sacrifices. 

Connecting with Helen on weekly basis not only helped consolidate learning but also made me feel accountable which is what I need. Getting input and feedback from Helen really helps me understand my own tendencies and also my husband’s. Helen’s approach is very allowing, and helps remove judgements towards myself and others. I feel more compassionate.
