Helen is a research scientist that has turned her hand to discovering more natural and holistic ways of healing. After working as a nutritionist for many years she learned that most people with an eating dis-order are actually using food to conceal past trauma. Helen found that by shifting the focus from food to treating the underlying issues, she was much more successful at helping her clients change their eating behaviours.
From this interest in behaviour, Helen has been and avid researcher in the fields of phycology and meditation, learning and teaching techniques to help her clients calm their nervous system to aide digestion and curb cravings.
Helen also has an interest in the aging process and the roll of food and fasting in longevity. After many years of research Helen developed a five day Nutritionally Supported Fast program consisting of macro-nutrient balanced meals that enable the body to mimicking the fasting state.
