I am deeply grateful for the following beings for the ways they have fed my imagination, understanding, and capacities:
Angie Mattingly, Arnold Mindell, Astrid Lindgren, bell hooks, Betty Martin, Chelsea Radbourn, Christiane Pelmas, Clementine Morrigan, Daniel Shaw, Dawn Menken, Diane Di Prima, Diane Roberts, Dr. Captain Snowdon, Dr. Cedar Barstow, Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, Dr. David Kohler, Eman Salem, Gloria Lemay, Gunbritt Christoffersen, Kai Cheng-Thom, Mary Oliver, Mel Cassidy, Michelle Tyliakos, Ola, Raine Crow, Reggie Ray, Resmaa Menakem, Sofia Illias, Stephen Jenkinson, all my living and dead ancestors, and many more unnamed.

I lived the first half of my life in a small village in Sweden
11 years in Sydney, Australia
1.5 years in Kiribati
10 years on the stolen lands of the The xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), also known as Vancouver, Canada.
We are based in Vancouver, Canada for most of the year and Sweden for the summer months.

My first decade of working after university included corporate management consulting within banking, utilities, infrastructure, construction, and international development.

Some identities and presentations where Helena holds unearned and earned rank in many settings: white, European, upper-middle working class upbringing, educated, mostly able-bodied, looks and size close to mainstream beauty standards, Swedish and English language fluency, passport privilege (able to live and work in Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand), travelled, regular access to their ancestral lands, straight-passing, married, supported by loving partner, colleagues, family, friends, and community.

Some experiences where Helena has navigated marginalization: femme, queer, trauma survivor from many dimensions including CSA, SA, and coercive control, burnout, invisibly disabled, gender expansive, immigrant, neurodivergent, English as a second language, witch, artist, activist, polyamorous, self-employed.

All my currently scheduled public offerings are listed on my website.

For non-public offerings and to be kept up to date, you are welcome to sign up to my newsletter (I send newsletters rarely)

We love partnering to bring these practices to new communities.
For in person offerings, we usually need 3-months planning, an appropriate venue and enough local interest.
For virtual offerings, we usually need 1 months planning.
Please email us with your request, and we’ll do our best to meet the want.

Yes, in fact one of our favourite things to do is to customize our offerings and gifts so they are just right for you and/or your team.

No, but we love coaching, training, and mentoring facilitators, practitioners, and leaders on how to create offerings that are most empowering for their clients and stakeholders while deepening their personal integrity.
