From Heartbreak to Healing: A Journey to Empowerment & Happiness

Have you ever found yourself silently asking, “Is this really my life?”

You look around and think, I should be grateful… but inside, you’re hurting. Lonely. Disconnected. Maybe even invisible. You’re on a treadmill that you don’t feel you can get off. You just about make it through the week hoping to catch up with life at the weekend but you never do.

I know that feeling intimately because I’ve lived it.

After 32 years of what I believed was a solid and loving marriage, my world was shattered when my husband left just before Christmas in 2022. I found myself suddenly alone, watching not just a relationship dissolve, but a whole life I had built. Our home, our family unit, our routines and our friendships crumble before me. When our adult children moved out soon after, the silence in my home became deafening.

What followed was heartbreak in its rawest form. I wasn’t just emotionally broken, I felt the pain physically, in my chest, my bones, my breath.

And yet... this was the beginning of something extraordinary.

From Rock Bottom to Renewal

That grief became a turning point to the start of a journey I never expected. I sought support through coaching, and the impact was profound. So much so, that I trained to become a certified Laura Doyle Relationship Coach, Life Coach, and Therapeutic Art Coach, transforming my own healing into a mission to help other women find theirs.

Through this journey, I wrote my book, Forget Me Not — part memoir, part guide — filled with the journaling tools, healing practices, and insights that changed everything for me and now form the core of what I offer my clients.

Who I Work With

I coach women who feel stuck, unseen, or emotionally drained in their relationships, career or home life — whether they’re navigating heartbreak, living in a disconnected marriage, or rebuilding after loss.

Some are at a crossroads, unsure whether to stay or go.

Some are exhausted from giving and not receiving.

Others just feel… lost in their own lives.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I’ve tried everything, but nothing changes.”

• “I’m holding it together for everyone else, but I’m crumbling inside.”

• “I can’t keep living like this, but I don’t know how to change it…”

You are not alone and there is a way forward.

What My Clients Say

Here’s what one of my clients recently shared:

“I felt frustrated and unappreciated in my marriage. We had survived the hardest years, but still lacked connection. I was full of resentment, and I knew it was starting to affect the children. I’d tried everything to fix it. Talking to Helen felt like a breath of fresh air — someone who really got it. With her support, I’ve started letting go of the need to control my husband, and instead I focus on my own self-care, peace, and gratitude. For the first time in a long time, I can actually imagine a happier future.”

What You Can Expect

My coaching isn’t about fixing you because you are not broken.

It’s about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been silenced, neglected, or forgotten.

It’s about rewriting your story. Not with shame, but with compassion, clarity, and empowerment.

Whether you’re grieving the end of a relationship, stuck in one that drains you, or trying to rediscover who you are after years of being everything to everyone else, I’m here to walk that path with you.
