"When I decided to work with Helena, I was completely lost. I didn't understand why I was so uncomfortable and stressed. Helena took the time to listen to me, and clearly explained the correlation between my gut, skin and feelings. I feel an extraordinary improvement since starting her treatment plan... I'm HEALTHY! Thank you, Helena." ~ Coraline
