About us
When two Helens meet by chance, magic tends to follow…
Two Helens, two Aries, and one perfectly aligned twist of fate. One Helen, founder of 🌿 Leaf Yoga & Reiki, and the other, the visionary behind 🌟 Earth and Ether Holistics, crossed paths by chance - only to discover a shared passion for holistic wellness burning brightly in them both.
What began as a simple chat over coffee and cake (with lasagne dreams sprinkled in for good measure) quickly unfolded into a deep connection, aligned values and an undeniable energetic connection. Their energies synced, their ideas sparked, and the conversation flowed with effortless creativity.
Both devoted to holistic wellness, they found their visions weaving together with ease — the energy vibing, the ideas flowing and something beautifully powerful brewing.
Now, the two Helens are joining forces, blending their gifts, passions and Aries fire to bring something truly special to West Yorkshire - and it all started with two Helens following their intuition and saying yes to the universe. A meeting of minds, a merging of paths, and the beginning of something truly special.
