 “ Helen is a wonderful teacher and mentor and can be both gentle and passionate in the way she inspires you. Having got to know her well over the last year, I can hand-on-heart recommend her, and her work, as a way to connect deeply with yourself in a non-judgemental, fun and creative way. Her work is priceless! xxx ”

I was very nervous leading up to the workshop for a good week or so but that all melted away as I felt instantly welcomed and calmed by Helens' presence.  Overall the Grieve with Gusto Workshop helped me to open up and express my feelings both verbally and through the paint brush intuitively.   It wasn't 'heavy' at all as there was a lot of fun, laughter, connection with fellow kindred spirits and my inner child didn't need much encouragement to come out and play. 

 

I enjoyed the entire day. it was incredibly healing & just nice to be able to share experience with people who 'get it'

 

Thank you Helen xx

Attending the 'Grieve With Gusto' course was an amazing experience.

​

Helen was a really good tutor who was completely professional and worked in a very calm and patient manner. Having been through her own experience and learnt to deal with her grief using creative methods, she was able to relate to us and guide us through a variety of techniques to get in touch with our feelings. Each of them had their own value and I will definitely be using them again.

​

It felt very special to be in such a safe environment with women who all had their own stories but could all relate to each others grief around childlessness, we felt a common bond and there were tears but there was also a lot of laughter.

Attended this wonderful day course with Helen. Met some wonderful women - we shared, we cried, we painted - took one more step in our healing paths together. Incredible experience with allowing, gentle assistance and guidance from Helen. Well worth attending. MB

Helen provides a very safe environment in which to experiment and offers new and different ways of thinking. The group provides support and inspiration – as you would expect. I was stuck and it has definitely released something in me that is allowing me to move on. Melissa

I am delighted I attended Helen’s workshop, it was incredibly helpful. I was able to connect to feelings buried deep inside me and express them, in a way I had not expected. We were a small group which I found great, it was easy to discuss and share. It was both relaxing (I felt relaxed and at peace the whole day) and invigorating (giving me the energy and courage to continue my own healing journey).  Benedicte

I recently attended one of Helen's day courses as I'd always enjoyed messing around with drawing and painting as a child and wanted to explore creativity again in a safe space. I was a bit worried about it as I hadn't any recent art experience and wondered what the other people would be like. I worried we might all sit round sobbing into our paints!

 

Actually, the whole day was great. Helen structures it well and it felt like the right balance of exploring our feelings and creativity, having time for inner exploration and realising we all had common experiences as childless women. It also felt really safe and secure which means it was ok to be wild or messy or refined- what ever we needed. 

 

I left feeling energised and happy. I'd connected to a great group of women, I'd reconnected to a part of myself I hadn't used in years and felt inspired to do more. What better way to spend a rainy Sunday?!  Gen

Just wanted to tell you all about the wonderful workshop I attended on Sunday, run by our very own +Helen Segal. I nearly didn't go because I was feeling some anxiety about it the day before but am so pleased I went. I found it really helpful. It was a lovely, safe place for me to explore my creativity and let go of my perfectionist streak! And met some lovely women whilst I was there. Thanks Helen.  Connie
