Today I’m chatting with my college friend Helene Masyr about feeling inadequate, the affects and scars of emotional and verbal abuse, the importance of finding a support system, and the meaning of her butterfly tattoo.

As someone who has moved from something so far away from fine, even though she had convinced herself that it really was fine, all the way to now fantastic, Helene shares hope and inspiration. She also shares valuable suggestions you can apply to your life.

Helene DeJong is an internationally experienced teacher, school counsellor and coach. She has a Master’s degree in Counselling and Development and has worked with children, teens, and adults in individual and group settings. She is a certified coach who is accredited by the International Coaching Federation. Additionally, she holds certifications in Applied Positive Psychology and Mindfulness Foundations. She incorporates evidence-based positive psychology and mindfulness strategies into her sessions. 

Helene has worked in India, Niger, United States, Uganda, and the Bahamas; she has coached clients from France, England, Scotland, the US, as well as the Bahamas. 

Additionally, Helene is a recovering people pleaser who misplaced her identity somewhere between marriage and motherhood. She is the proud mother of four strong daughters who seem so much more put together than she was at their age! Helene is committed to helping others uncover their identity, purpose, and their passion so they too can thrive.
