I’m a lifestyle coach who helps people lose weight without giving up everything they love. Life is too short to live by strict rules.

I struggled with weight much of my life. I finally overcame the weight challenge and lost 82 pounds. I’ve kept it off for 15 years.

Helping people fit exercise into their busy lives is a passion of mine. I love to help people find a way to make that happen. You don’t have to exercise for hours every day. It’s really much easier than that.

My first book "21 Days to Change Your Body (and Your Life)" was an Amazon best-seller, and is a real life approach to losing weight that actually works. You can make real food part of your life and still lose weight. Yes, even chocolate! (I lost my weight having chocolate chips with my oatmeal every morning. True story.)

I also wrote a pocket guide - a companion to “21 Days to Change Your Body (and Your Life) - with the best tips and quotes in a handy format you can keep in your purse, in the bathroom, on your nightstand, or in the glovebox. You never know when you need a little motivation, right?

I have a new book coming out soon. I’ll let you know when it’s out.

If you like to walk, I have a free “walkcast.” It’s a coached walk/podcast combination. It’s called Walking & Talking with Helen and you’l find it on all major podcast services (and also on my blog). Come walk with me.
