About Helen

“… observing the sun dancing through the leaves, and hearing the subtle changes in the sounds around me…”

Helen muses, “From a young age I have always been fascinated by, and immersed in, the beauty of nature and sound. I have vivid memories of lying beneath the laurel bushes listening to the sounds of nature and watching the world move in its daily existence, observing the sun dancing through the leaves and hearing the subtle changes of nature’s sounds around me. I was always filled with a sense of calmness and positivity (I have often been told that my glass is always half full!), and shared my love of sounds, and of stillness, as a classroom teacher.

“Long before mindfulness was officially recognised and brought into schools, I would have my class of 6-7 year olds lying around the classroom, focusing on their breathing and their bodies, while I played relaxing sounds and guided them through relaxation exercises. There were always a few children who couldn’t contain a giggle or two or who found it a challenge to be still in the present moment~they were the ones who needed relaxation and balancing the most.”
