Therapist, Trauma Educator

Bio

After a career as a doctor within the National Health Service, spanning 25 years, Helen retired as consultant psychiatrist due to health challenges in 2017.

Initially she found herself floundering in a new existence, with illness, pain and fatigue, and little idea how to help herself.

Having practised yoga on and off since the age of 16, she completed her teacher training and a array of other courses, including Spiritual Coaching, with Caroline Shola Arewa and Embodiment Coaching, with Embodiment Unlimited.

Helen's Yoga training was completed with Yoga Alliance International directly with Swami Vidyanand, and also with YogaCourse, YogaRenew. She deepened her training by working with Kristine Weber of Subtle Yoga since around 2018.

As a life-long learner, Helen has and continues to complete an array of other trainings.

Since retirement she's channelled her passion into holistic wellness: yoga, embodiment, building wellness and resilience.

She particularly likes working with people with persistent health issues, pain and fatigue.

Helen also supports people with stress, overwhelm and burnout (they are often the same people!)

She offers a blend of yoga, meditation, education, and embodiment exploration practices designed to promote wellness and resilience.

Sessions are crafted to be slow and mindful, fostering a deep connection within.

Whether you're new to yoga or have long standing experience, these practices are accessible.

Practices are all about developing your 'nervous system resilience'

Why coaches & teachers love Embodied Toolkit

“It’s nice to be offering a course that I know is extremely effective, as we’ve been doing it around the world for many years now.

Embodied Toolkit gives coaches a very practical set of tools. It’s an immediate ‘go-to’ for almost any problem that a client encounters. Toolkit encourages a level of deep insight that you just don’t see when asking questions verbally.

For mainstream coaches, it offers a practical approach to the body that doesn’t require jumping around or doing anything too “alternative”. And it simply works. Often the joke is that it’s TOO effective, because people experience such deep insights so fast.

Coaches also appreciate that Toolkit can be used to give short but powerful pieces of ‘homework’ for clients to take away, without requiring them to do anything too athletic or esoteric.

Many yoga teachers also use the Toolkit system (in fact, we used to call it Embodied Yoga Principles, which is why you’ll hear it referred to as EYP).

It adds a layer of psychological depth to postural yoga classes and allows students to take yoga “off of the mat” and into life.

Embodied Toolkit has been part of my personal practice for years. Often, it’s the thing I do just before I teach, as it allows for powerful state changes. Whenever I’m working with clients, it’s one of my main tools.

This course is beautifully filmed and edited (damn, we spent some cash!), so it’s a very high-quality recorded product. And the live sessions mean that the community of practitioners form real relationships along with actually doing the course.

I really like this combination of self-paced course, which allows people to fit it into their lives when it’s convenient, and the optional live sessions, which encourage people to not just leave the course unfinished in their email inbox somewhere.

This is one I’m proud of, so hope you can make it.”

Got questions about Embodied Toolkit?

It is a combination of live weekly webinars (Wednesdays at 5pm UK time / 12pm ET), live peer group meetings (optional) and pre-recorded materials which you will be able to access on a bespoke learning platform.

It may be better conceived as a pre-recorded course with bonus live sessions (don’t let the live sessions be the determining factor in whether it is for you or not – they’re a bonus to help you with accountability).

The live sessions start on Wednesday 25th June and finish on Wednesday 10th September 2025. However, you can take as long as you need to certify.

If you’ll be joining live and aiming to certify at the end of the live calls, we’d suggest spending around 3-5 hours per week (between live calls, peer groups, daily practice, and watching the online course).

You may instead choose to spread this out over time to make it more manageable.

We’d expect it to take at least fifty hours altogether (it may be more manageable to do an hour per week for a year, for example).

No worries. We offer these as extra support, but they aren’t necessary to certify. They will be recorded and available on the learning platform for you to catch up.

The course is designed for you to apply what you are learning with others, however if you are an aspiring coach or facilitator, it is also a good introduction to embodiment.

  • Watch all the course videos
  • Practice at least 10-minutes per day, 5-days per week, for 3 months (or the equivalent)
  • Send through photos of yourself in all 26 poses
  • For coaches, complete a minimum number of 8 hours of client coaching sessions integrating Embodied Toolkit (more explanation will be given during the course)
  • For teachers, complete two 2-hour Embodied Toolkit workshops and four 1-hour classes that integrate Embodied Toolkit (more explanation will be given during the course)
  • Reflect after each session you facilitate
  • Have a video call with one of the senior teachers to check your grasp on the subtleties of the system and other relevant experience before your certification is awarded

Essentially anyone seeking clearer boundaries, reduced overwhelm, and greater ease in daily life for themselves or those they support.
