What I do and where I live

Hello, I'm Helen the founder and creator of The Medicine Tent®. It's a pleasure to connect with you here. I am a passionate about and dedicated to enabling individuals, couples and families to THRIVE; personally and professionally. As a catalyst for transformation, I gently guide individuals from a place of striving in self-sabotage mode, to thriving through self-led success. I empower people to authentically take control of their lives by investing in, developing and celebrating their best asset; themselves. Perhaps this is you!

My Story

My life journey is a testament to the power of personal transformation. After experiencing years of crippling self-doubt, I have progressed to whole-heartedly believe in myself, my qualities and my abilities. Instead of sacrificing myself, I now communicate and prioritise my needs, and self-validate all aspects of who I am. As a child however, Believed that I was not enough, prioritised the needs of others above my own and needed continual reassurance from others to validate my worth.

 

As the archetypal child who was seen and not heard, I was unassuming and amenable. In order to survive day-to-day life, I unknowingly developed beliefs, behaviours and emotional reactions, as unconscious coping mechanisms. These manifested as negative self-talk, hyper-vigilance and people-pleasing tendencies. Whilst initially protective, these coping mechanisms followed me into adulthood, hindering my perception of myself, the quality of my relationships and the pursuit of my aspirations, as well as my experience of life. 

 

During my 30’s, I realised that my childhood patterns were silently sabotaging my life. So one day I decided to change it and courageously committed to a journey of self discovery, healing and empowerment. I boldly emerged as the leader of my own narrative. I now blend my personal insights and professional training in Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, Educational Kinesiology and Shamanism, to help others break free from their own sabotaging cycles and forge a path meaningful life of joy, true fulfilment.

My Passion

I currently reside in the Eryri National Park in North Wales, UK. I co-habit with my beloved husband and adventurous springer spaniel. When I'm not in the kitchen making my favourite plant-based creation, you can find me walking in nature, connecting with the wildlife and the landscape.

My Vision

"Contributing to a bright future, in which individuals and communities truly flourish, through a profound connection with themselves, each other and nature."

I believe that humanity is already making progress towards this vision. Granted, it takes conscious effort to make this a reality. It's a transformational journey that can and will be globally co-created, when we commit to walking our medicine path of AUTHORITY, ALCHEMY and ALIGNMENT.

Tale Of The
Medicine Tent
®

Story continued from homepage

The Medicine Tent® is my soul work and purpose. It stands as a testament to my belief that the truest form of healing has always been within us and the natural world. It is my absolute pleasure to share this with you.

The Medicine Tent® was conceived from my desire to provide a safe, accessible space for those seeking proven healing practices that aid a true understanding and development of themselves. I am passionate about offering services that are accessible to all; regardless of geographic location and circumstance. Amidst the noise of modern life and the multitude of healing modalities, it is easy to get drawn into spiritual bypassing practices, that sidestep authentic emotional processing and can exacerbate unresolved mental health issues, therefore hindering genuine healing and growth. 

I am delighted that my vision is now a reality. The Medicine Tent® is a gathering place for like-spirited souls to assemble for blessings, ritual or ceremonies. Connection is imperative for holistic well-being, as it fosters a sense of belonging, combats loneliness and provides validation, as well as vital emotional support. We all deserve to be seen, heard and witnessed; free from judgment and/or expectation. The Medicine Tent® is also safe sanctuary for individuals to unplug from their outer environment and plug into their inner one. This is pivotal for holistic well-being, as it offers valuable time for introspection, healing and transformation.
