Testimonials
Maurice O’Brien, President Irish Dental Association
As president for the south east branch of the Irish Dental Association I asked Helen to do a presentation on Mindfulness at our annual scientific meeting in Kilkenny on 23rd Feb 2018. Helen gave a talk on health and wellness, a journey of conscious choice, personal responsibility and self-directed care
The feeling from the members present was that Helen was an engaging speaker very professional in her approach to her subject and obviously passionate about her field of work. We found her topic interesting and would be happy to recommend helen to others for speaking events.
Danielle McCusker, HR Generalist, Rigneydolphin Group
Helen was recommend to me and I asked Helen to complete a presentation which would tie in with our Health and Wellness Week. The presentation was rolled out to different groups of around 20 employees over 2 days. The role that we are in can be very busy at times so Helen delivered a talk on Stress Management to our team. Helen delivered the presentation professionally and informatively and spoke about how to recognise stress and how to manage stress on a daily basis.
The feedback from the talks was fantastic – the groups mentioned how they learned a lot and how they came out of the talk with new tips on how to manage stress both inside and outside of work. Helen was also able to answer any questions that the group may have had and was clearly passionate about the topic.
I would highly recommend Helen for any events regarding Health and Wellness.
Martina Fanning, Fitness Coach and Owner of Workout with Martina
Workout with Martina had Helen out to Activate recently to give our ladies a talk on nutrition. Helen is so natural , approachable and with a lifetime interest in sport she was the perfect nutrition coach for us. Her talk was informative, positive, easy to understand but most of all realistic!! The advice we got from our information evening was all good. It included changes to our everyday eating that were easy to change, some things we already knew but needed to hear again and some we did not know . Helen is superb at what she does and I would highly recommended her for any group nutrition talk or workshop.
