About Helen
Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor, Reiki Practitioner, Breathwork Coach, Meditation Facilitator, and Egyptian Healing Practitioner — based in Newburn, Newcastle upon Tyne
"Where stillness becomes your strength."
Helen's Story
For over 30 years I worked in the corporate world, but throughout that time I always had a passion for health, fitness and helping others. I saw first-hand how stress, anxiety and the pressures of everyday life can affect our physical and emotional wellbeing.
That passion led me to qualify as a Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor and Mindfulness Coach — and more recently as a Breathwork Coach, Meditation Facilitator, Reiki Practitioner and Egyptian Healing Practitioner.
Creating Mindful-Nest has been a dream of mine — a place where people can step away from the busyness of life, slow down, breathe and simply be.
I truly believe that when we care for both our mind and body, we give ourselves the best chance to feel healthier, happier and more balanced.
Thank you for being here at the beginning of this journey. I can't wait to welcome you.
