About the Author: Helen Birney

Like many women who grew up in the 80s and 90s, I was trapped in a cycle of diets and self-criticism. I struggled with weight gain, hormonal issues, and digestive disorders. My coping mechanism—cycles of extreme dieting—only made things worse. 

One day, after another failed weigh-in, I realized the energy I put into trying to lose weight was causing me to lose more trust in myself. I ditched the scale and focused on tuning into my body, adopting a positive mindset, forming sustainable fitness routines, and looking to community for support. This holistic approach transformed my health and life.

Health is a continuous journey. Understanding your unique story, motivations, and body is key. I’m here to guide you, helping you discover a healthier, more confident you.
