As a counsellor and self-development coach, Helen has dedicated her life to helping others. From her Dubai-based business Mindful Me, she is a guide and mentor, running courses and retreats that aim to nourish the souls of those who attend them.

Spending time with Helen is always a pleasure. She has an energy and outlook that belies her 70 years and wisdom pours out of her.

We talked about travelling alone, why Helen loves to dance (I adored this!) and how she’s read Eckhart Tolle’s New Earth over 55 times! Helen is so engaged with living and learning - getting to understand more about her intentions and the passions that drive her was a true privilege.
