Working Together
Individual Mindfulness and Mindset Coaching
Are you feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, that you would love support, accountability and connection? Are you longing for a life that is more in line with your core values? Would you enjoy feeling supported to incorporate mindfulness and resilience practices in your daily life? Or, perhaps you aren't exactly sure exactly what you want, but you are looking for someone to help you to untangle what's going on for you and to support positive change?
Coaching can support you understand what is important to you, what you would love more of in your life, what is holding you back, and investigate how it would look and feel to live more into the life you hope for.

Mediation and Facilitated Conversations
Mediation is a method of dispute resolution that brings parties to a dispute or situation together face-to-face to discuss, brainstorm solutions, and to work towards ways forward that parties agree to.
​
In mediation, a mediator is a neutral third party. Their role is to facilitate dialogue, helping parties to explore solutions without providing direct advice.
​
A typical mediation process involves an intake call, a pre-mediation session with each party separately, then joint sessions where all parties and the mediator is in the room.
​
A mediated agreement may be requested by the parties if agreement is reached.
Prices start from $265 per hour.

Testimonials
Initially I started seeing Helen as part of a course to help with breathing for speech delivery, and came away with so much more.
I don’t enjoy being front and centre of a room so get anxious in advance, an issue around confidence not performance. We explored the why of that through self-reflection and mindfulness and I’ve discovered so much more about myself, my values, and my drivers. I now recognise when they are not being met, are being challenged, how that makes me feel, and have more tools in the toolbox to work through it.
As a full time working mum it’s easy to put yourself at the bottom of the list, that doesn’t make for a whole and happy person. I’ve learnt that you have to pay attention to what your mind and body are telling you, and recognise when you need to pay attention and put some time and effort back into you.
I continue to work with Helen, an essential contriution to my wellbeing, she’s been a gift!

Helen helped guide me through the two most important times of my life so far: pregnancy and early motherhood. Helen gently nudged to the surface a lifetime of patterns that needed tending to ahead of me welcoming a new life into the world. We did it all at a pace that worked for my growing body and slowing pace. I came away from our sessions awed and rejuvenated with new concepts and ways of being to ponder and digest. Always the right questions asked. The right line of query taken. This work, with Helen's coaching and support, has been crucial for my Matrescence, and I am so grateful that she was there for the transition.

12 weeks ago, as an absolute novice, I joined a weekly course that Helen teaches and have not missed one since. Helen creates a wonderfully warm and safe environment, taking time to explain the “why", while effortlessly catering to individual needs.
