Hey there, I'm Helene
I help women be their own kind of beautiful by reminding them of who they are, who they are becoming - and that their sparkle was never meant to be subtle.
Author of Wear Your Life Well: Lessons on the Journey to your Truest Self, I'm a Style Therapist, writer, speaker, and educator. At my core, I've always been an encourager - the kind of woman who tells a stranger her outfit looks amazing and nudges women to believe in themselves a little more.
My soul's mission is to empower women in their midlife era to claim their uniqueness, enough-ness, and visibility so they show up more powerfully for themselves in their lives.
MORE ABOUT ME AND MY WORKI'll help you claim your substance & style
Your personal renaissance evolves into who you are becoming. It's not about what's hot and what's not. It's about you doing you - and owning it.
Style touches every part of your life. It's not just about clothes - it's about confidence, self-expression, and how you carry yourself through the world.
When you like what you see in the mirror, your start showing up differently - with more ease, more confidence and more joy. Because what you wear doesn't just change how you look - it transforms how you feel.
Style isn''t superficial. It's soulful.
Ready to step into a version of yourself you actually know - and love?

Off the Cuff
Style, self-worth, and life as a woman - unfiltered. Helene writes it Off the Cuff, and always from the heart.

Your words always lift me - especially on tough days. I love the honesty, the reminders to be kind to ourselves, and the comfort to know we are not alone in life's challenges. I like how your savvy style advice gives me confidence and encourages me to experiment. I now wear bold colours year-round. I love that colour knows no age.

Helene's Off the Cuff is one of the few emails I truly look forward to. Amidst the digital fluff - most of it as nourishing as cotton candy - her witty and wise words offer both a laugh and a loving nudge - reminding me who I am now and encouraging me to shed what no longer fits, in my closet and in my life. Every word reminds me I'm not alone on this journey.
