Hi, my name is Helen and I am a Spiritual counselor, Akashic Records reader, Yogi, 6x South African Freediving champion, student of Sanskrit and Vedic philosophy, wife of one and mum of two (Freyja 14 and Stieg 12).
JUGGLER OF MANY and we all live happily on a small holding as much off the grid as we can on the east coast of South Africa, with our 4 dogs and 1 (semi wild) cat.
Born on the wild coastline of the Indian Ocean in South Africa, I spent my youth running in sugarcane fields and playing in oceans. I was able to swim by the age of 2 and I never stopped.
I spent my childhood trying my best to be the best kid. To be good enough to be loved, quiet enough to be loved, kind enough to be loved. I excelled in academics and sport, and I strived to cause absolutely no waves. The skinny, ugly, awkward kid with a head brace, I fitted in more under the surface of the water and at home with my dog.
Falling into a rabbit hole of self-loathing and drama in my late teens and 20’s, with an eating disorder and alcohol abuse being the 2 main themes, I mistakenly but thankfully found my way out through yoga and my journey of recovery took me to India where I discovered Ashtanga yoga and began healing and teaching yoga.
Combining my need to be in water and yoga, I followed my heart to Dahab, Egypt and began breaking records in freediving. I lived there for 2 years freediving competitively and am 6x South African Freediving champion.
I discovered the Akashic Records as I discovered everything in my life. As the next step. As a student of Vedic Philosophy and Sanskrit, I was intrigued by the name Akashic (Akasa or space is one of the 5 elements) and I delved deeper, initially just wanting to clear my own karmic blocks and restrictions.
Little did I know that it would lead me to helping so many people uncover their own impediments and show them the way back to the freedom of who they truly are.
Knowing who I am at soul level comes with a huge amount of joy and relief.
What a relief it is to just “do me”
I know from direct personal experience that I only healed when I owned my shame. I am not powerful IN SPITE OF my past, I am powerful BECAUSE of my past. We all are. But we have to see it to heal it. And in order to transcend, we then must let the stories go, and break the patterns.
I am now 19 years sober, and 20 years healed from my ED. A sober vegan, with a life lesson in LAUGHTER.
Finding the fun in any situation, even the tricky, hard bits, is what helps me to heal. I would love to help you find what you need to heal the parts of you that you might have disowned.
Â
Helen. My name means LIGHT.
Who knew, my life purpose was to LIGHTEN UP.
With light,
Helen
What they say about Helen
"I have worked with Helen for many years and I was excited to have her read my Akashic records. Although my expectation’s where high I was still absolutely blown away!! The information was accurate, insightful, interesting and it encouraged me to make some changes in my life. These changes have put me in a flow of abundance and joy. The way Helen presented it was easy to understand, warm & compassionate . I cannot recommend this enough – the investment in yourself will reap many rewards."
KERRY VAN HUYSSTEEN (South Africa)
"I have had two readings from Helen both were profound. I could feel a distinct clearing of energy and after the homework i literally had shifts in the world around me. clearing of patterns and opening of opportunities. I highly recommend a reading with Helen if you are looking for change and insights. I have recommended her to so many of my friends and family and they all say the same thing. She is phenomenal "
SINEAD QUINN-BISKUP (Australia)
"Working with Helen gave me a completely different perspective on things I’ve been holding onto, things I’ve been carrying around with me, and things that I have not known how to put down. Understanding where some of these behaviours may be coming from and then consciously doing the work to clear them each day, in a very intentional way, felt very freeing for me."
