I first came to see Helen after breaking my ankle back in 2015. She not only helped me enormously with the rehab, but she also worked to identify the likely causes which had made me more vulnerable to this injury. Since recovering, I have taken up ballroom and latin dancing very seriously including competing. I have never danced before and Helen has worked with me on strength and flexibility in order to be able to not only make much greater progress with dancing, but also to remain injury free.

She takes a highly personalised approach to each person’s needs and works extremely hard to make sure that the exercise programme supports what you are aiming to do. She has definitely brought out the best in me and I find I am stronger and more flexible as a result. She makes you work hard in a way where you don’t quite realise it and she does all this with a fabulous sense of humour. I would recommend her very highly.

Just over 2 years ago I decided I needed to get back into fitness. I had already heard of Stones Outdoors and contacted Helen, I signed up for one-to-one sessions over the summer. Â Helen took me back to basics, she assessed how my body moved and gave me a set of very easy exercises to do until I saw her the following week. Â Over the summer Helen helped me understand where my weaknesses were and we progressed the exercises culminating into a program of exercises I could do myself. Her knowledge of how the body works and nutrition advice were brilliant (the massages are worth a try as well!). Â I then joined Helen’s outdoor 1 hour session on Chorleywood Common, being outdoors (whatever the weather, snow, rain and sunshine!) is very uplifting. Â I love the outdoors and these sessions on the Common are uplifting. Â If you are already training or want to start from scratch I couldn’t recommend Helen more.
