Thank you again Helena. We look forward to working with you again.”

“Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed your seminar yesterday on Boosting Your Brain at Queensland Police Headquarters. Fantastic is the one word I can say. Great, straight-shooting advice and very practical. I heard as I left the conference room many staff saying the words ‘fabulous’ and ‘isn’t she terrific’.
I believe you were very inspirational to all who were there and gave many that little extra they were looking for in their life.”
- Peter Silk, Senior staff Development Officer - Queensland Police Service
“What Helena has to say is inspiring, educational and should be built into all school, university and corporate world programs. I believe society has a lot to be responsible for re stress, anxiety, depression and the like, so the more we can make people aware of how to Boost Your Brain, the more we could overcome or have less of so many lifestyle diseases. I look forward to learning more on this topic by reading some of the books she suggested.”
- L&D Professionals Forum, September 2009
“Your seminar generated much interest and enthusiasm and someone said they could have listened to you all night. I agree. So thanks once again for taking the time to talk to our group. It was well-received and greatly appreciated. Just wanted to let you know how much we all enjoyed our evening with you, Helena.
- Sue Henderson, Diversional Therapist - Aged Care Facility, Brisbane
“Hi Helena... The feedback from your session was extremely positive. I had many people coming up in the following weeks stating they had made changes to improve their health (mostly via diet or exercise) and that it made perfect sense to do so. Funnily enough, when people usually say something like this, there is a certain tone of voice used – as if they are dragging their feet along the ground and not really wanting to make these changes. This has not been the case after your workshop with us and the changes have been expressed in a positive manner.
That was a few months back now. As for the longer-term changes.... Well I can say we have doubled the number of teams going in the corporate triathlon already for this year, there is a weekly jogging effort, some staff members are cycling to work, the commitment to Friday golfing is clearly evident, and there has been a steady increase in what was once the monthly Friday social lunch in the company of colleagues to what is looking like a weekly/fortnightly event (this is not on the same Fridays as golf – we do actually work on Fridays).
I think we are off to a good start for the year!”
- Katie Nicholls, OHS Manager - Hastie Air Conditioning
“Riveting! Thank you for a transformational experience. The entire audience hung on your every word.”
- Jennifer Johnson, First Violinist - Sydney Symphony Orchestra
“Absolutely fantastic! I love Helena's powerful, polished and profound presentation. What a sensational speech!”
- Emma Bell, Business Chicks
“I Love It! A woman who performs vasectomies... Very entertaining and thought provoking, and challenging us all to look at how we live our lives.”
- Deborah Stretton
“Helena has succeeded in all her ventures because her own attitude is infectious. She communicates with individuals as well as large groups with exceptional skill and manages to ‘bring people with her’ to a realisation of the importance of a healthy approach to life. To say that she inspires and motivates is understating her sparkle, ability to connect with all age groups, empathy and genuine belief in ‘wellness’ programs for everyone.
She is aware of daily parameters in people’s lives and tailors her suggestions to be realistic and accessible leaving her audience willing to try and not dismissing a ‘too hard’ concept.
Her love of life and fellow human beings is genuine, rendering her philosophy and attitude infectious for those who hear her.”
- Etta Melman, Deputy Principal - Moriah College
“Helena has a gift for communication and inspiration. She speaks from the heart and from an amazingly wide experience of life and activities. Her intelligence, meticulous research and sense of humour make her a delight to listen to.”
- Frances Turner, Teacher of Mathematics
“There are very few conference speakers as passionate and memorable as Helena. She has a special gift for communicating with an audience using great intelligence, humour and wit. She is truly outstanding!”
- Patricia Noble, Director of Medical Centre Nursing Workshops
“Helena captivates an audience by her uninhibited and informed presentation. Drawing on researched information presented with her own humorous take on the subject matter, Helena ensures the audience is drawn in to listen intently.”
- George Deep, Customer Services Manager
“There are some people who readily make a lasting impression on you. I feel this way about Helena. Helena's knowledge, drive and openness are all geared to strengthening relationships and securing healthier options for her audience.
Helena's capacity to take on multiple roles, her language skills and her personal history are inspirational. Helena is someone I'd like to work with more often. I commend her highly.”
- Tarran Deane, Founder of Embracing Ability

“Hi Helena, I was at the breakfast presentation you did in Geelong this week and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. Your talk refreshed me and gave me a jogger to so many things that I know about but am not using in my own life, so thank you.
Especially the "what have you been saying 'can't' about and how are you going to make that happen?" I have fantasised about starting a YouTube channel and always thought it was a silly idea but I am going to do it! Why not? So thanks again, you have inspired me and I am quite determined to make it happen and I wanted you to know that you inspired that. Thanks x 10.”
- Dianne Crawford, Geelong Young Professionals

Don’t get me wrong, I do have a very busy and happy life, but after hearing you speak I was energised to keep setting goals and making every minute count. I have also ordered your book. Whatever it is I’m sure I will enjoy it after hearing you. Thank you again.”

A POEM OF APPRECIATON by Patsy Noble, Director of Medical Centre Nursing Workshops
I can wholeheartedly recommend Helena - Be it medical or exotic - Produce standing ovations!

“I attended your session, Turn Stress into Success, at the CPA Congress last Friday. You were such good value and I just wanted to thank you for your energetic, informative and so much worthwhile program - so thank you - I have signed up to receive Brain Boosters - so thanks again. As well as helping me to deal with stress, your session provided me with some hints as to how to deal with my partner’s stress!”
- Denise Cameron, CPA
“Thank you so much for inspiring me during both your sessions at the CPA congress yesterday. I found both very powerful and educational. I found the simple analogy with the jar of water and sand extremely powerful. The biggest take-away for me personally was around the understanding of the tipping point between where stress can turn into distress, which is an area I've always struggled with. I've been happily plodding my way through life and consider myself a reasonably happy individual with lots to be grateful for.......but there are certain aspects of my life I want to change and I feel like the framework you provided will help me to gain the courage and know-how I need to make those changes more effectively. I'm excited about what the future holds for me and I look forward to sharing what I've learnt so far with others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish you and your father all the best on your current journey. I very much look forward to reading your book.”
- Mark Lehane, CPA Australia
“Thank you for your inspiration today.”
- Lucy Horn and the Workforce Capability Team, Department of Education
