Teacher Profile

Helen Reimers
Australia
Melbourne
I became a mother at 17. My daughter was born profoundly disabled and non-verbal – and has been my greatest teacher. Raising her cracked me open again and again. I learned to feel the world through my body, not just my mind, and to trust what can’t be spoken. We found a way to communicate beyond words – through presence, energy, and deep listening.
Over the years, I wore roles I thought would keep us safe: the good girl, the hyper-independent woman, the one who needed no one. I disconnected from my body, emotions, and capacity to receive. I numbed pain with distractions, longed for intimacy but feared it, and sought purpose in all the wrong places – always outside myself.
Eventually, my pain became my teacher. Rock bottom brought the death of who I thought I was. From that place, I stopped resisting. I listened. I softened. I met the parts of myself I had rejected – grief, rage, longing – and held them with compassion. I remembered who I was beneath the shame, fear, and striving.
Calligraphy Health became one of the gateways that brought me back into the body – alongside other practices I share – supporting a deeper connection to breath, energy, movement and stillness. Through it, I found a return to internal trust, regulation, and wholeness.
Today I guide others on this path of embodied presence – where fear, grief, joy and pleasure are not problems to fix, but portals to more life. You are not broken. You are not separate. You are already whole. And when we remember that – everything changes.
