“I'm so grateful I was able and that you made it financially accessible for me to participate in your workshop. It has opened up so many channels and I can feel the continued unfolding ripple out. I experienced you as a really incredible facilitator and have looked back on that weekend in amazement at the flow and sensitivity you brought into the room. ”— participant in 3-day Wheel of Consent course (Jan 2025)
"Helena, you are the best facilitator I have ever experienced. I am a retired teacher, and I've experienced a LOT of teachers in my life. This workshop opened up a deep understanding about boundaries in a whole new way. A boundary is not a wall to keep people out. It's how we connect."— participant in 3-day Wheel of Consent course (Feb, 2025)
“Oh my. Everything. The continual reminders before every single experiment that there are many ways to participate and the encouragement to pause and check in EACH TIME was so supportive. All the addressing of power and naming the power imbalances provided me so much relief and safety so I was able to just attend to the content of the workshop. I am really sensitive to group dynamics and wonky power dynamics and spend a lot of my time in new containers assessing the safety. This was the first time I was able to be immediately at ease. Making space for Neurodivergence and reminding the group that eye contact might not be comfortable for everyone was really helpful.”— participant in 3-day Wheel of Consent course (Oct 2024)
"Helena did an incredible job of creating a safe space where choosing and consent was offered again and again. She has a great gift for pacing the group and delivering so much material in a way that never felt overwhelming or rushed. Her ability to track all that was happening within the group was unmatched. I have never felt more comfortable sharing my learnings within a group space. The chart paper method of teaching was particularly helpful for me as a visual learner."— participant in 3-day Wheel of Consent course (Feb, 2025)
“This course has given me a safe container to build awareness of my willingness (as well as lack there of) to participate in all the circumstances of life. The practice sessions were a place to for me to build comfortability with communicating new types of responses that accurately reflect my needs/wants.”— Lauren, participant in 8-week Wheel of Consent course
"Amazing. Do this course. It will change your life, as you practice the skills that grow your confidence to live in greater residency in your body, and to take up the space in the world that you want and need."— Kristina, participant in 8-week Wheel of Consent course
“Thank you so much for facilitating this conversation and creating the safe space for noticing and being so gentle. I discovered a real power in my gentleness with myself through the course. To actually stop and ask myself what I want rather than just doing doing doing. I have freedom from current and past traumas where boundaries felt crossed.” — participant in 6-Week Online Wheel of Consent Workshop
“I am amazed I could experience such connection via Zoom and how impactful this offering was for me. This was the healing I was missing. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
