One Woman’s Story, Is Another Woman’s Survival Guide

Let me tell you what happened at a weekend seminar on the Gold Coast just before COVID-19, the global pandemic, changed the world.

As seminar attendees, we were all given an opportunity to present a 2-minute talk on a subject that mattered to us. I decided to share my story of loss and grief. I could see people in the audience as they subtly wiped away their tears, as I shared the passing of not one, but two of my sons.

During the tea break, one lady approached me and said, “Helen, my son is suicidal. Please never stop sharing this story, because mothers like me need to hear it. Please, may I please give you a hug?

I WAS TOUCHED AND SHOCKED

Here was this beautiful mother reaching out to me and as a coach, my mission was clearer than ever. But I needed to do more. I needed to become a life and business coach, to inspire and help people like the woman at the seminar.

I didn’t know how I would actually do this work as it was so close to my heart, and feared that my emotional stamina wasn’t perhaps strong enough. That I would be incapable of not crumbling at the sheer thought of reliving grief.

BUT AS A WOMAN WHO KNOWS STRENGTH, I WENT TO WORK

I did anything and everything I could to professionally develop. I attended seminars and conferences to retrain my mind. I decided to return to study and qualify as an Accredited Life Coach and Meditation Instructor. Now, I am a qualified Trauma Therapist with The Internal Family Systems (IFS). The Internal Family Systems is a powerful and transformative evidence-based model of psychotherapy.

While Life coaching is a faster modality to get through limiting negative beliefs, the IFS is addressing the wounds so that overcoming adversity is informed, sustainable and easily implemented into the healing process.

I love sharing my story and helping hundreds of mothers around the world. I love finding meaning in pain. I love discovering the purpose behind our stories.

As a lover of words, I encourage my clients to journal. This is a powerful technique to find inner peace and relief, and transform anger and loneliness into feeling love and acceptance.

My vision is to help women from falling into a shame spiralling and falling into the rabbit hole of past trauma.

Hello Lovely!
