Welcome!

Hi, I'm Helen Baker, a Nervous System Mental Health Coach & Nutritional Wellbeing Practitioner.

I help people who are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck or disconnected from themselves to understand their nervous system, improve their wellbeing and create sustainable change without shame, pressure or unrealistic expectations.

My work combines lived experience, nervous system education, mental health knowledge, nutrition, and trauma-informed coaching. I support people navigating ADHD, autism, menopause, anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, low mood and the challenges of modern life.

After spending years searching for answers to my own health and wellbeing challenges, I discovered that lasting change doesn't come from pushing harder. It comes from understanding how our brains, bodies and nervous systems respond to stress, overwhelm and life experiences.

Today, I use that knowledge to help others build capacity, improve wellbeing and create lives that feel calmer, healthier and more manageable.

Who I Support

I work with adults, parents and professionals who are navigating:

ADHD and autism (diagnosed, self-identified or exploring)
Menopause and hormonal transitions
Burnout and chronic stress
Anxiety and overwhelm
Low confidence and self-doubt
Emotional regulation challenges
Nervous system dysregulation
Type 2 diabetes and nutrition-related wellbeing concerns

My approach is warm, practical and compassionate. Together we focus on understanding what's happening beneath the surface, building sustainable habits and creating change that works with your capacity rather than against it.

My Approach

My coaching is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming and grounded in nervous system awareness.

I believe wellbeing isn't about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself.

Rather than focusing on productivity, performance or willpower, we explore what your mind and body need to feel safe, supported and able to thrive.

I consider the whole person, including physical health, emotional wellbeing, lifestyle, relationships, environment and nervous system state, so that change feels realistic, sustainable and meaningful.

If you're ready to better understand yourself, regulate your nervous system and create wellbeing that actually fits your life, I'd love to support you.

Together we can build a foundation of health, self-compassion and resilience that works for the long term.

I've Been There

I understand what it means to struggle.

From a young age, I grappled with low confidence and anxiety, always seeking ways to "fix" myself. In my mid-20s, I developed persistent stomach issues, leading to years of doctor appointments and blood tests before finally being referred to a specialist. Their advice? Keep a food diary and eliminate certain food groups like dairy and gluten. I started with dairy, and although the adjustment was tough, I noticed improvements within days—bringing relief, but not a complete solution.

Traditional treatments from my GP only masked the symptoms rather than addressing the root cause. The real breakthrough came when I shifted my perspective. I had always been told what not to do, what foods to avoid—but no one ever gave me alternatives. Determined to find answers, I studied Nutritional Therapy to fully understand my body and empower myself with solutions rather than limitations. This knowledge not only helped me heal but also enabled me to create a programme that has transformed the lives of many facing similar struggles.

I am late-diagnosed with ADHD, after waiting for just over three years on the NHS waiting list for an ADHD diagnosis - something I always sensed about myself but never pursued until the challenges of menopause brought it to the forefront.

Now, I use my journey to support others, helping them break free from limiting beliefs and become the best versions of themselves.
