“After 4 months I feel as I am in a better place in all avenues of my life and that I crossed paths with Helen for a reason.”
Lisa McFarlane | UK
"It's just so freeing to not have food anxiety.
You gave me permission to trust myself, and as a consequence my body feels better and my mind feels better. I've found joy in movement and value myself so much more now."
Carol McKenzie | Aus
“Eight months ago, I was at the lowest point I have ever been in my life. I could not like myself or see anything worthy about myself. It wasn't easy, but wow, the healing is phenomenal. I am honestly the absolute complete opposite of who I was when I joined.”
Nina Bäckstrom | Sweden
“I was really sceptical, but from the first meeting with Helen I felt completely safe. I didn't dream that the results would be as good as they are already (and we're not done yet!)! If you're thinking of working with Helen - do it. Just do it. It will change your life in a way that you could never expect”
George Martino | USA
"When I first encountered Helen, I was stuck in a place of deep hopelessness and resignation.
Helen was someone who understood and related to my pain and struggle with food.
Working with Helen has been one of the most healing experiences in my life. Her empathy, vulnerability and personal journey created a safe space for me to open up without judgement. A space for me to release the deep rooted pain that was blocking my path to discovery and recovery.
Choosing to work with Helen is one of the greatest decisions I ever made for myself."
"Change doesn’t come in a takeaway box — but it can start with a call!"

"Helen, you have truly been my rock through the initial stage of my recovery journey and I know you’ll always be there! Thank you for all your amazing advice, support and humour, without it I couldn’t have made it this far. I never thought I’d be where I am today but the words and tools you have given me have enabled me to overcome this horrible disease. I cannot thank you enough for changing my life for the better. Xx"

“Coach Helen is da bomb!! I love her rawness and honesty. What I love most she gets me.. She's been there... she knows my thoughts, my patterns, my fears and no judgements. No shrink ahaa moments and nothing happens. The skills she taught me is life saving 🖤.”
Meryn F | UK
“I can proudly say this is the first holiday season for many years that I am ED free!
I am CONFIDENT in my recovery. I now hear my body and listen and TRUST. I am enjoying my life, my body and food more than ever before, no guilt or shame.
It’s been a hugely transformational year.
Thank you to Helen Bennett and the 12 skills program.
I turn 30 next year and I am ready to live my life more fully than ever before.
To those still struggling, keep going! You CAN do it!.”
Beka B | UK
“For anyone reading this- Helen helped me go from a mess to recovered! She’s amazing and changed my life! If you’re on fence, don’t think twice about going to the webinar and working with her. It’s so hard to go it alone. Nothing else worked for me but working with Helen!”
Jo M | UK
"I decided a while ago to come off my antidepressants. Every time I’ve come off them before I’ve felt awful, like extremely psycho in honesty 🤣. But this time I feel totally fine. And when I thought about why, I know it’s completely because I don’t have all this horrible shame about my body or my eating anymore.
I know how to live freely and eat like I wish I was taught to as a child.
So I just wanted to say thank you for being the best coach. You have been so helpful to me, and I will pass on your details to anyone I can that wants some help privately. You have been like a goddess, the Jimminy cricket every woman needs.
Xx"
“If willpower worked, we’d all be skinny as breadsticks — thankfully, food freedom is now on your menu."
Olivia D | SA
"Helen uses a practical & fool-proof approach to help one achieve their personal goals, which are set out from the get go. My primary goal was to come off my antidepressant medication - which I had relied on for nearly 10 years in order to deal with my disordered relationship with food, as well as other life stressors. Helen helped me to discover healthy coping mechanisms and, above & beyond this - to journey on a path of recovery & self acceptance. We built a tremendous sense of trust and friendship throughout this time and I am forever grateful for her ongoing support and guidance."
Livia M | Brazil
“Working with Helen was an amazing surprise at a time in which I was so close to giving up. She is incredibly supportive, loving and understanding, and I'm so very glad that our paths crossed. With the right balance between tough love and acceptance, I've overcome deep-rooted self esteem issues that I was convinced were for life. I honestly can't thank her enough for the amazing job she does..”
Holy H | UK
“I worked with Helen for 4 months. She went above and beyond focusing on the physical disorder/ behaviour and really helped me to get to the bottom of so many deep rooted beliefs which were keeping me stuck in a binge cycle. Helen made me feel human, heard, and unashamed of a disorder which was ruling my everything. Its a process but I’m so much closer to ‘freedom’ than ever, thank you Helen!.”
Shanice R | UK
“I truly believe I didn't come across Helen by chance, it was always aligned for me.
I met Helen in a time where I felt lost, I had started some road to wanting to recover but didn't know how to get there! I now feel like I'm on the road to becoming free. Before starting, I couldn't even look in the mirror I didn't want to see me, for who I truly was! Now I see me, I like me.. I have a long way to go but I now feel I have the tools and support I need to get me through.
Without Helen I'm not sure where I would be, and if you get the opportunity to work with the amazing woman I urge you to do it! Your future self will thank you ❤”
Buffy R | UK
To say that working with Helen has been life-changing would be an understatement.
Every single element of my world has been affected from the perhaps more obvious sense of my relationship with food and slowly battling and chipping away at the disorder to; improved self-esteem, management of emotions, a far deeper self-understanding, acceptance and even love and pride.
Unlike any other approach (and I tried what I thought was everything!), her program does not leave a stone unturned. Throughout my journey she has been compassionate, patient, motivating, supportive, encouraging and REAL. There is no element of this insanely hard battle that she does not understand and if anyone is able to help you, she is.
My outlook and mindset have changed unrecognisably and I know I will never change back. I cannot recommend Helen highly enough. Do not give up on your recovery dream and jump in and engage with her and this program. You will be eternally grateful to yourself that you did.

"When I found Helen’s website I was pretty much desperate. I felt so out of control with my food. I’d gone from severe restriction, calorie counting, measuring myself every day to binging and purging. I knew I couldn’t keep going like this. If you’re expecting a quick fix, this definitely isn’t it. Helen gives you tools and resources to help you overcome your eating disorder. She really looks at it from a holistic perspective and will walk with you every step of the way. It’s going to require some courage, determination and time to turn things around, but with Helens help it really is possible!"
Nikki S | New Zealand
“Helen has been an amazing coach for me. She has cultivated space for me to dive deeply into myself and truly explore the hidden places of my psyche. She has done this without judgement or interference, instead guiding me using my own voice as the source to skilfully open new meaning into my values and core beliefs.
Helen is truly an amazing coach and I would recommend her to anyone who serious wants to become the change that they want to see in their life....”
Claire T | UK
“This incredible woman changed my life.. and I will always be eternally grateful to her. Couldn’t praise her enough. ”
Vicky C | UK
“When I spoke to Helen in a breakthrough session, I have to admit, at the end of the session I wondered how the time with her would help me. We talked about everything - my whole Food Freedom Journey - and it was amazing to speak to someone who knew exactly where I was coming from. It's been one WHOLE week and 2 days, and I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart that I haven't made myself sick since I spoke to her. I've started to eat only when hungry. I stop when I am full, and I am so mindful of what I am eating. I've never been so organised with food since I can ever remember.
I am loving this journey.”

I truly believe Helen Bennett was sent to me.
For 10 years, I had tried multiple therapists and attended both inpatient and outpatient ED treatment clinics, but now had a strong desire to try something completely new. I was desperate for someone or something to help ‘fix’ or ‘cure’ my eating disorder.
During a very low point last year, I came across one of her videos on Facebook (google ads had obviously noticed I had been searching ‘How to stop binge eating). This video not only inspired me to work with her, but also for the first time in a long time, helped me feel not alone in my eating disorder. Her video showed me that she understood binge eating and had overcome it, using her inner strength, methods and techniques, acquired over years of understand and rewiring her brain and destructive habits. I immediately booked in a free initial consultation with Helen, and after a year of working with her, I can honestly say I have never felt stronger and like I am finally recovering from the years of trauma I put my body and mind through.
I now understand myself – both body and mind. From teaching me how to intuitively eat, to goal setting and reminding me that recovery can only happen if I put in the work myself, there’s nothing I feel I cannot do anymore. I am now bigger than I have been in 10 years and can I say, a whole lot happier. Our bodies do not define our worth and the relationship we have with ourselves is the most important one. Thank you Helen, for reminding me that inner strength and self-acceptance is the only way in which I can truly recover and find happiness in life. You are wonderful.

I spent more than half of my life thinking that I was never good enough, pretty enough, thin enough. These bad thoughts/beliefs lead me into bad relationships. Self sabotage was my middle name. I felt I needed "control". From under eating to over eating to over exercising to bingeing and purging, to taking up to 8 laxatives everyday for a whole year….Boom!I thought that was my life written for me. Until…. I went on to meet a beautiful man and having two beautiful healthy little girls. The loves of my life. BUT I still didn't really love Me.
Although I stopped some of the dangerous abuse I did to myself for all those years, it didn't stop my bad thoughts and negative body image. This is where Helen Bennett changed my life forever! I clicked with Helen from day one - free consultation...this day was my saviour 🙏🏻 Helen talked to me like I was one of her best friends. Teaching me things that I never even thought my mind would adapt to in such a positive way.
My 12 week programme delved me and Helen into things from my past to present that I didn't think were even an issue in my life. But these things were exactly what was keeping me in the same, stuck, self sabotaging place. This woman has amazing personal and educational experiences that all women need to know and learn from!! Not only has she saved me but she has saved & changed the lives of my two beautiful girls and my husband "to be" forever. Forever I am, and will be, grateful ❤

"Where do I even begin!
One night while scrolling through Facebook, I came across Helen's BFF page and I clicked onto the link & read up, listened to the video & thought to myself - really? I had written down notes from the video & I needed to put these to the test.
After Helen & I had our first zoom meeting in April, I was so excited to get going - Helen had said to me "give this challenge 100% and I'm sure you'll be able to overcome this".
Leading up to the start of the coaching course, I had thoughts that were so overwhelming - 'will this work', 'what will happen after the course?', 'what will I be doing?', 'if this doesn't work, I'm done with life'.
My eating disorder made me crawl up into a ball most nights, cry, scream, hate & I honestly was just so ready for anything to help me! Well, from the bottom of my heart, Helen, thank you so very much for being that helping hand that my body, my life so badly needed! Helen is the most wonderful soul, down to earth, funny, understanding & caring person. You believed in me from day 1, your enthusiasm & encouragement kept me going. Your voice notes on how to cope kept me fighting - 'work with me so that I can work with you body'. You're awesome coach Helen - yes you are!
Secondly, how amazing the lovely girls I did the challenge with are. Flip man, to know you're not alone, that so many girls fight a similar battle, that this dreaded disorder can steal so much joy & hope. Each call made me stronger, made me realise just how by supporting eachother, grow & change can bloom!
Not only did we work on external matters but internal issues that we can so often misread. I learnt so much about myself, about others. I learnt how to speak up & act before the hurricane hits. I learnt to love more - people & myself. I learnt to be kind & caring, help others, ask how they are doing and be there for them!
I could go on forever! I remember Helen saying - 'give your body time & it will adjust'. I can finally say I am loving life, I am living! I can look at myself & thank my body for not giving up on me, for fighting. I can say 'I love you body'. I can stand up for what I deserve & recognize when to walk away. I can take responsibility & realise when to let go of what others are responsible for. I can listen to my body and know it will all be okay.
Most importantly - I strive to live!
All my love
Katie"

"The 8 weeks in the coaching course with Helen were truly life transforming and very very special. It was something I always had longed for, but could not find anywhere else. Her loving presence and support throughout the whole course and through all the moments (especially the nasty ones, even outside our classes) were truly of great help to start breaking through (finally after all those years!).
I’m so very grateful for this chance I received and having taken this journey. For 8 weeks we all travelled together, even though each of us in the meantime walking our personal paths and 'slaying our individual dragons'. It was all with real sense of connection and unconditional support.
I don’t think I would have got all those insights and applied the changes without this course, so am truly happy that finally some real action happened!
As it was the first time I could really feel somebody did care and could understand. Being together in a group with other beautiful women, made it so safe to open up and allow to be held. And there is where healing could happen of this wound, which is not easy to show to others, especially to the outside world. But with all the tools we learned, the classes and our amazing talks, things could finally start to change and looking back now, I would not have thought to be in this space within myself where I’m now at. So thank you thank you thank you dear Helen!!! I would advise it to anyone who is stuck with their eating and is so tired of trying again something, not knowing if they will learn anything new or it will help. Trust me, with Helen you will and it’s even with fun and joy! (could you imagine that!?
I really didn’t, but now am convinced) ;-) "
