About Helen

​

Hypnotherapist - Shamanic Practitioner - Reiki Master Teacher 

​

I’ve always been curious about what lies beneath the surface. The things we feel but can’t always explain, the quiet knowing that arrives before we understand why, and our connection with nature, animals, each other and the parts of ourselves we sometimes lose along the way.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to animals, nature, energy and the unseen.

Horses were a huge part of my childhood, teaching me to listen, notice and trust what I was sensing long before I had the words to explain it.

Like many of us, I learned to put some of that intuitive side aside as I grew older. But it never really left me. Through life, motherhood, personal challenges and my own experiences of healing, I found myself returning to the same questions:

Who are we beneath all the noise? What happens when we reconnect with ourselves? and what becomes possible when we begin to listen again?

 

A Journey of Discovery

My path has never been a straight line. It has taken me through many different worlds, from finance and coaching to hypnotherapy, Reiki, shamanic practice and earth-based spirituality.

A particularly emotional time around the passing of my mother brought me back to my intuition in a deeper way. Experiences I had once pushed aside began to make sense again, leading me to explore how intuition, energy, nature and spirituality could sit alongside everyday life.

Over the years, I’ve learned from many teachers and traditions, my training and experiences have included hypnotherapy, Reiki, shamanic practices, transformational coaching, firewalking and other practices that invite us to move beyond our perceived limitations. I'm still learning, still exploring and still curious. I believe we never stop growing.

​

How I Work

I don't believe there is one right way to heal, grow or transform. Your path is your own.

Sometimes you need space to rest and heal. Sometimes you're ready to explore old patterns, reconnect with your intuition or find the courage to make a change. And sometimes you simply know that something needs to shift, even if you don't yet know what.

My work brings together hypnotherapy, Reiki, shamanic practices, intuitive guidance and the approaches that feel most appropriate for you. I draw on modern insights, earth-based wisdom and my own experience to create a space where you can feel supported, explore honestly and discover new possibilities.

I'm not here to tell you who you should be. I'm here to help you reconnect with yourself, recognise your own wisdom and find your way forward.

​

Rooted in Nature, Connected to Life

Nature is a huge part of who I am and how I see the world. The changing seasons remind me that we all have times of growth, stillness, uncertainty and renewal. Animals teach us presence and honesty. The elements remind us of our capacity to ground, release, transform and begin again. I also believe spirituality should feel alive.

It isn't about being positive all the time or pretending life is wonderful when it isn't. It's about making room for all of it: the grief and the laughter, the quiet and the adventure, the difficult seasons and the moments when we feel completely ourselves again.

For me, being alive means moving, creating, exploring, spending time outdoors, dancing around the kitchen, feeling the sun on my face and finding magic in ordinary things. It means allowing ourselves to rest when we need to, while staying open to the joy, colour and possibility life can hold.

WhiteOak is rooted in that belief: that we are here not simply to get through life, but to experience it, create, connect and feel alive within it.

Welcome to WhiteOak Healing Pathways

WhiteOak has grown from all these strands of my life: healing, intuition, nature, spirituality, courage and transformation.

It's a space for you to explore, reconnect with yourself, release what no longer serves you and become curious about what might be possible.

You don't need to have all the answers. You don't need to follow a particular belief or have everything figured out.

You just need to be open to the possibility that something different might be waiting for you.

And sometimes, the journey begins with a single step.

​

A Little More About Me

Away from WhiteOak, you'll usually find me outdoors with my dogs, spending time with my horses, walking in the countryside or by the sea, or enjoying time with my family.

These are the things that keep me grounded and remind me why connection, nature and joy matter so much.
