TESTIMONIALS

I have known Helen for nearly five years. I was blessed to have her as a therapist at an addiction treatment center.

I have been in recovery since treatment but a year or so ago I started to suffer from social and general anxiety. I have since been working with Helen and recently joined the Positive Intelligence movement. Moving from the mind to the senses and to the body has been an absolute game changer for me. I have been able to connect deeply and to create space. Although the anxiety is not gone, the relief and moments of true contentment have been immense. I am excited to continue this journey and am deeply grateful to Helen.

I have been consulting with Helen Schaffer for 19 years now and she has become an integral part of my life’s journey. The nature of the journey has shifted and changed over the years and for the last five years the focus has been on assisting me in my approach to my business.

The insights and wisdom that Helen brings to our conversations have been vital to the success of my business and to the way in which my clients and staff experience me and the services I provide. I also joined Helen on the Positive Intelligence journey and that has only added further value to my learnings about myself and the other people that I interact with.

I don’t want to do life without Helen Schaffer!
