Hi I’m Helene!
I’m a mom, yoga teacher and recipe developer who is here to help you lead a realistic and balanced lifestyle. Why realistic and balanced? Wellness is about finding what works for you. If it’s not realistically something that fits into your life, it’s not going to work! I believe we can only achieve balance by acknowledging the physical, mental and emotional aspects of our well-being.
When I had my first baby, my self-care practices fell apart and I soon found myself battling anxiety and depression. I found that the movement, mindfulness and breathwork of yoga helped me through strengthening both mentally and physically. My appetite had slipped away with my anxiety, so prioritizing nourishing meals also became essential. I became trained in Reiki to learn more about energy healing and work on my energetic needs.
Once I discovered the power of movement, breath, energy work and nourishing foods, I became more passionate than ever about helping others feel their best. As a long-time foodie, recipe developer and workout junkie, I traded burning calories for burning sage and let go of everything fitness and diet culture preached about health.
When I experienced recurrent pregnancy loss on the road to my second son, I clung to my foundation of mind/body self-care and cruised through a really dark time with my mental health stronger than ever. I stuck to prioritizing nourishing foods, micro moments of mindful movement and meditation as realistically as possible.
My goal is to help YOU feel calm and strong through whatever challenges your day to day life brings! As a recipe developer, yoga teacher and reiki healer, I bring the knowledge and expertise to give you tools for strengthening both mentally and physically.
