About Me

Helen Reimers — About Me

I am an Somatic Embodiment Mentor, Relational Body Work Practioner and Workshop Facilitator, and my work has not come from theory or study alone, but from a life that has required me to meet myself, my body, and my reality in ways that were not optional.

I became a mother in my teens, and from there moved through experiences that shaped me early and deeply including domestic and sexual violence, complex trauma, profound grief, and the kind of private reckonings that don’t resolve quickly, but instead ask you to rebuild yourself from the inside out, again and again, until something real begins to take form.

Raising my daughter Alexandra, who was born with a profound disability, brought another layer to that process. Advocacy was not a role I deliberately chose, but one I willingly stepped into, and through that I came to understand resilience, boundaries, and a kind of love that is both fierce and spacious, one that does not turn away from what is difficult, but learns how to meet it without losing itself.

My return to the body began through yoga and meditation, not as a practice of self-improvement, but as a way of finding ground again after years of disconnection. From there, I spent over a decade immersed in somatic and energetic work, studying and practicing across a range of modalities, but more importantly, apprenticing to my own body, to experience, and to the patterns that shape how we live and relate.

What has come from that is a body of work that has depth, honesty, and a willingness to work at the level where things were formed, rather than at the level where they are performed. It is guided by the intelligence of the body, not by urgency, outcome, or the need to appear transformed or a certain way - I honour and work with every body as it’s own unique mystery school.

The people who come to me have often lived through a lot. Trauma, grief, relational rupture, identity shifts, depletion, or simply the quiet but persistent sense that the life they are living no longer fits. They are not looking for intensity or performance. They are looking for something that is real, something that can hold them, and something that can actually shift the way they experience themselves and their lives.

My way of working is relational, sensory, and deeply attuned. I meet you in your body, in your nervous system, and in the patterns shaped through your lived experience, working across what I often refer to as sex, heart, and head, so that nothing is treated in isolation and everything has a chance to reorganise in a way that is coherent.

There is no forcing here. No performance. No need to become something you are not. What I offer is a space where you can come back into relationship with yourself, where your body becomes something you can listen to and trust, and where, over time, your life begins to reorganise around what is actually true.

Through Somatic Whispering, Interwoven, and the spaces I facilitate, I create environments where this kind of work can happen, where patterns can soften, shadows be uncovered and made healthy, where aliveness can return, and where you can begin to live from a place that is more grounded, more connected, and more your own.

At the core of it, my work is simple, even if it is not easy: when you return to your body, you return to your life, and from there, something becomes available that was not accessible before and not as an idea, but as a lived experience of truth, aliveness, and the capacity to create from it.
