Hello! I am Helen Machen-Pearce.

The quick overview!

 

 

I am a yoga teacher, a meditation teacher, an embodiment teacher and coach. 

I am also a retired doctor and a down to earth human being!

After a career as a doctor within the National Health Service, spanning 25 years, I retired as consultant psychiatrist due to health challenges in 2017.

 

Initially I found myself floundering in a new existence, will illness, with pain and fatigue, and little idea how to help myself. Having practiced yoga on and off since the age of 16, I completed my teacher training and a array of other courses including Spiritual Coaching, with Caroline Shola Arewa and Embodiment Coaching, with Embodiment Unlimited.

 

My Yoga training has been completed with Yoga Alliance International directly with Swami Vidyanand, and also with YogaCourse,  YogaRenew, and I really deepened my training working with Kristine Weber of Subtle Yoga since around 2018. I have and continue to complete an array of other trainings, which I will endeavour to add at some stage. I am certainly a life-long learner!

 

 

 

Since retirement I haveve channelled my passion into holistic wellness: yoga, embodiment, building wellness and resilience. 

 

 

I particularly work with people with persistent health issues, people with pain and fatigue. I also support people with stress, overwhelm and burnout (they are often the same people!)

 

I offer a blend of yoga, meditation, education, and embodiment exploration practices designed to promote wellness and resilience. The magical thing that is added, if you come along to Zoom sessions ... is community; support 

 

Sessions are crafted to be slow and mindful, fostering a deep connection within. 

 

Whether you're new to yoga or have long standing experience, these practices are accessible.
