What happens when discipline stops serving you and starts slowly breaking you?

In this powerful conversation, Helena Keane, former professional dancer turned yoga and Pilates instructor, Reiki healer, breathwork and mindfulness coach, shares her deeply personal journey through the high pressure world of elite performance and the battle with disordered eating that followed.

From the outside, it looked like discipline.
Inside, it felt like control, exhaustion, and disconnection.

Helena opens up about the hidden cost of perfectionism in professional dance and how “healthy habits” can quietly become destructive. She shares how she rebuilt trust with her body after burnout and why movement should heal, not punish.

Now the founder of The Helena Method, Helena helps women reconnect with their bodies through intentional movement, breath, and inner stillness. Her philosophy is simple but powerful.

Movement is medicine.
Breath is your superpower.
Balance is built from awareness, not control.

If you are a high achieving woman who looks fine on the outside but feels disconnected within, this episode will resonate deeply.
