Helene Van Manen

Helene Van Manen is an extraordinary coach, exceptional mom and grandma, and loving wife. Besides all that she sings!!! Helene, I don't even know where to start in describing why you inspire me because it is in so many ways. The lightness and joy that surround every interaction we have is so fun. Helene leads incredible retreats for women, sometimes with her daughter, and sometimes on her own. She has designed a designation program for other women wanting to lead retreats that is growing quickly because of the care she has taken to provide structure and value to others.

Helene has taught me by example about continuing to create a relationship with a spouse that is still new and full of curiosity, though many years old! She and Dave also lead retreats and workshops together and have some wonderful CD's !

Helene, thank you for brightening my world with each interaction we have! I know you are also doing that for each person you touch! It makes the world a better place, one person at a time!!!!

The word that describes Helene is Playful
