What Clients Say

An incredibly experienced, seasoned entrepreneur – this client knew on paper that he was successful already. Logically it made sense to go to the next level. He’d done it before. He could do it again – or so you’d think! But his fear reaction had other ideas.

That reaction made no sense given his experience. And yet there it was, out of his control, and telling him (again) how unworthy he was of the next level…

This time, he could clearly see this pattern (which in the past he thought drove him as an entrepreneur) was completely self-sabotaging and it was time to deal with it.

“Starting out I knew I carried this ‘I am not worthy’ belief. I thought it drove me as an entrepreneur, but it also caused me problems. And it became pervasive across my life – I’m not worthy of being a great husband, I’m not worthy of being a great father. I was afraid of success – even though I was successful! I was still afraid to go to the next level.

Now it’s so different. After just the Foundation Sessions I feel released from those shackles. It doesn’t hold me back. I have unlimited possibilities.

I feel worthy! I can work beyond those limitations. I have a new sense of purpose, a new higher level of purpose.

I feel grounded, peaceful, with more clarity and joy.

I got everything I wanted from this process, and more!”

This client, a high achieving entrepreneur (and previously avid traveller) had fallen into this surprising and illogical fear of going abroad.

We worked through the Foundation process together, so that she could discreate the big identities that we handle in these Foundation sessions.

The result? Her world looked instantly different…

After the Foundation Sessions there was a growing sense of being worthwhile, a kind of grounded sense of OK-ness that I’ve never really had before. Not consistently.

I started to get quite vivid replays of happy memories which I hadn’t had before. So accessing how I felt in those moments has been really nice to remember. And poignant too in some cases.

There’s been a growing sense of confidence, in stepping out to do other things.

After a month or so I noticed a couple of things that didn’t feel good.

I still wasn’t wanting to share my knowledge, without being absolutely certain of my knowledge, etc. I realised that despite the new, positive feelings I still wasn’t taking action to write my thoughts online.  And a question came up – that if the solution hadn’t been in what I dealt with in the Foundation Sessions, what is it? I thought – if it can shift those other things (which had been there a long time!), maybe it can also help with this.

And then that opened me up to consider that this method could also help with my (seemingly intractable) feelings about my health issues. Maybe that could go aswell, because that’s alot of mental energy I can expend on that from time to time.

Based on that, it felt worth trying a Subsequent Session to see what would happen.

It’s hard to put my finger on but just generally I feel more “even” – not getting so stressed about the small stuff, not feeling like emotions are about to pour from me!

I actually had a conversation this weekend about one of the early life events that used to make me feel like it was all bubbling under the surface and I didn’t have that feeling, it was actually such a relief!

Thank you!

“Before working with Helen through the Mace Energy Method, I felt like I was being pulled in two completely different directions. I was juggling my corporate role and building Radicality on the side, and it honestly felt like a Jekyll and Hyde situation. I wasn’t unhappy – I was grateful – but I had not found joy in the day-to-day for a very long time. I carried a constant internal weight, an energetic cloak I didn’t even realize was there until it was gone.

What drew me in was how Helen was showing up differently. Her grounded excitement made me curious. And when I realized the Mace Method didn’t require digging up past trauma or years of story, I felt safe to explore it.

Since my Foundation Sessions, everything’s shifted.

I feel light. I feel grounded. I’ve reimagined my role at work after 16 years, applied for over 20 jobs – something I’d been debating endlessly before – and landed an interview within weeks. I even re-joined the gym and now go 2–3 times a week. These things may sound simple, but they were completely stalled before. Now they feel obvious, effortless.

This process didn’t bypass reality – it gave me more capacity to face it. I still care deeply about change in the world, but now I act from a place of presence and playfulness, not pressure or saviourism. I used to think it was all on me. Now, I know it’s not – and that makes me more effective, not less.

It’s been exponential in impact compared to the investment. I’d honestly say it’s worth 10 times what I paid. This isn’t just personal development – it’s catalytic. It gave me back my capacity.”

Before I experienced the Mace Energy Method, I genuinely believed my life was “good enough.” I’d done so much personal development – coaching, spiritual work, you name it – and I thought I didn’t really have anything major left to resolve. I even felt I had to “find” a problem just to qualify for the sessions as part of the practitioner training! I chose procrastination, something I’d always struggled with as someone with ADHD, even though I had lots of strategies to manage it.

But what happened through those sessions was absolutely beyond what I expected. The procrastination didn’t just improve – it vanished. That feeling of life being hard, of things being overwhelming or too much, just dissolved. Suddenly, everything became lighter, more manageable, even joyful. Tasks that used to feel emotionally heavy – like helping my elderly mum – are now just things to do, with no drama, no stress, no emotional weight.

The most extraordinary shift is in how I feel. I’m not trying to live anymore – I am living. There’s no separation between my spiritual self and my day-to-day life. I used to get glimpses of peace and presence during meditation or mindfulness, but now that peace is constant. I feel grounded, energized, and deeply connected to who I really am.

I honestly couldn’t have imagined this level of change. It feels effortless. My creativity is flowing again, my ADHD feels like a superpower, and I’m showing up more fully in my life – especially with my daughters. If you’re on the fence about this work, trust me: even if you think your life is “fine,” it can be so much more. Don’t wait for things to get dire. Choose to go from okay to amazing!

I have known Helen through a progression from the Inside-Out understanding of the Three Principles, to her co-authored book “The Complete Book of Awakening” and now to the Mace Energy Method. What had changed for her through the latter had really caught my attention.

I was looking for a bit more “aliveness” and clarity of mind. I’d been feeling frustrated about a community of leaders I’m responsible for, and frustrated and disheartened with the lack of interest from others in what I was creating.

After a very engaging and enjoyable Mace Energy Method process I feel so good about all of that, and I now also have so much more inner peace and a perception of wellbeing such that I am smiling all the time with no more overthinking.

Helen tells me the feeling is the “real” me shining through.

Well, I’m definitely feeling good. Thank you Helen.

Mace Energy Method Foundation Sessions with Helen have been a real joy. I came to the sessions because I was feeling worry and fear about my work.

I was also worried if I would be able to do the process – as a non visualiser I thought I would struggle to successfully go through it, but with Helen’s skilful guidance I was able to clear out negative identities that had allowed worry and hesitancy to impact my days and my work.

After the first session I felt more spacious and I noticed my response to events was more balanced. I also suffered a minor leg injury before my final session, and instead of feeling worried or disappointed that my plans had to change, I was pleasantly surprised that there was acceptance, acknowledgment of the physical pain and gratitude for the help and care I’ve received from my family.

I’m certainly feeling more peaceful and relaxed about being myself and I can see the value I bring in the services I offer.

Thanks so much Helen!

“Experiencing the Mace Energy Method left me feeling noticeably lighter and freer, with worrying thoughts no longer intruding at every turn.

Since our sessions I’ve noticed that things aren’t getting me down as much and indeed a current situation with my Mum being unwell isn’t having nearly as negative an impact on me as it would have done before. I feel happier in myself.

Also, aside from my poor Mum, who amazingly is making a recovery, lots of great things are happening and I feel real excitement about what’s to come (even though I have no idea what it is!). 

As someone deeply familiar with the nature of thought, I’ve found this to be surprisingly very effective at dealing with the thoughts that still really looked true.

If you’re open to exploring new ways to clear mental clutter, I’d highly recommend it.

It really does work!“

What has been truly wonderful so far has been absolutely zero imposter/not good enough or ‘you’re a fuck up’ – even when my first fuck up was identified, there was zero reaction from my mind or body beyond just an ‘ok, I will remember to do it that way in the future’.

For me, the Mace Energy Method Foundation Sessions have been truly remarkable. In advance of the first session I trawled through past journal entries and soon found myself seeing a similar pattern or cycle of events and thoughts. The term same sh*t different day springs to mind!

I came to the first session loaded up with notes about what I wanted to cover. I felt apprehensive about the session and even though I knew that I wouldn’t have to bare my soul, I still considered that I would need to share some of what was crippling me. After very reassuring words, Helen put me at ease and reiterated that I would not need to share anything. I would not need my notes. I was asked to put my trust in the process and off we went.

The two biggest things that were getting in the way of me being me, were the thoughts that I wasn’t good enough and that my needs didn’t matter. Then during the second session I was able to uncover a sense of being unloved.

That was a massive realisation and clearing that is helping me to not only live being myself, but to express love in a much more meaningful way.

As I’m typing, I realise I am only comfortable about writing this in the past tense because that was me then, and it is not me now.

For the process itself, I was asked to focus on the feelings I had associated with the negative thoughts. As the tears streamed down my face, I closed my eyes and soon had an image behind my eyes. Not particularly tangible, more of a blur of colours.  Helen kept my focus, and through the process I watched as the image grew (changed shape and colour) and then over a period of minutes vanished.

Checking in on how I was feeling, I was able to share with Helen that feelings I had at the start had completely dissipated. I was still fully cognisant of how I had once felt, but now totally aware that it was no longer present nor served any purpose whatsoever. Consequently, I was left with an overwhelming sense of calm and inner peace and therefore a much quieter mind.

I was so excited by the results and the difference that it made I couldn’t wait for the next session which went equally as well if not better because this time, I knew what to expect.

I believe that this process is a powerful tool for emotional healing, and I wish I’d known about it years ago.

At the end of our session Helen asked me how I was feeling and I think I remember saying something like “I think I could change the world!”

It is in that vein that I write this review for Helen as without pioneers like her, this complementary therapy would be no way near as accessible as it is today.

In fact it has been so transformative that it has inspired me to undertake the training to become a Mace Energy Method practitioner myself, and start my own quiet revolution.

I can’t explain it but it feels different. Like there’s a lack of charge in things that would have been a trigger.

The same things are happening but they’re not having the same effect.

There’s much less self-attribution with what’s going on. It feels like everything’s just happening. In the past I’d have been saying to myself ‘that shouldn’t happen’ or saying to myself ‘why’s that happening?’. I’m now feeling so much less in my head. It all feels a lot lighter.

And that now means I dream about what could be, instead of thinking about what’s already gone.

It’s changed how I’m carrying myself, and how I’m being. And people have commented on it. There’s this quiet confidence. And an obviousness – like, why would I not feel this quiet confidence? There’s vulnerability without it feeling like I’m being vulnerable – I’m just sharing authentically. And I’m able to stay present and centred when there’s a potential for conflict. I can see the whole picture, the context, my part in it, their part in it. And I can stay in open communication about it. Instead of reacting and shrinking away.

Mace has been a significant game changer for me. I have been pleasantly surprised with how my executive powers have gone through the roof!

I am so much clearer about what I want to do and just get on with getting it done without that sense of resistance I used to experience.

Thanks so much, Frank

I’ve spent 20 years in serious self-development.

Every modality I experimented with was useful, nudging me closer to freedom.

Yet still there was an undercurrent I couldn’t shift, a nagging doubt that I wasn’t worth loving.

I was pretty sure I knew where it had started and I also knew logically that it wasn’t true, I have lots of people in my life who love me, but it still hung around taking the shine off my experience in subtle ways.

I’m amazed and delighted to say that the Mace method took that tarnish away. I still remember laughing afterwards when you asked me if I could say with certainty that I wasn’t lovable and I literally couldn’t say it anymore.

There was just a solid knowing that it was no longer true for me. Nothing short of astonishing!

Since the Mace sessions, I’ve felt my perspective shift in subtle ways and in lots of places that I wasn’t expecting.

It’s a gentle growing sense of peace. Thank you.

I’ve hated my face and body for as long as I can remember – a glance in the mirror prompting a slew of judgements, a camera pointed at me invoking horror. And I used to judge others negatively based on their appearance in a dumb ass attempt to make myself feel better about my lumpy bumpy ugliness.

And then I took some stuff to Mace (not this specifically) and all those feelings evaporated. I now like what I see and the thoughts around my appearance are based on objective observations alone. And what’s even lovelier than that is I now see the beauty in everyone around me too. I noticed it whilst out and about on holiday, observing a lady on the train who would have usually involved my judgement I instead found myself admiring her tattoos and even told her so. It brings me to tears (the good kind) as I type this now and realise how much Mace has changed my life in this way.

I now ask for help when I need to – no longer being afraid to show I don’t know something. Only today I got someone to help me check in my bag and attach the label at the self check in, and then assist me again at the bag drop. Previously this would have brought about feelings of shame and ‘less than’ but today I actually felt proud and grateful.

I stop and look at the map openly when I’m unsure (before Mace I would skulk in the shadows afraid to let people see my ‘incompetence’) and I go in to restaurants confidently, taking up space assuredly as a woman travelling alone. I feel so much lighter as I navigate my way physically in the world.

My work email inbox is an unfiled ‘mess’ and I don’t care 🤣 In the past, having more than 5 or 6 emails in my inbox would have invoked huge stress and panic – god only knows what I thought it said about me??? But now, I just read emails and leave them there. Knowing that if I need them again I can use the search function and if I don’t need them again they can just sit there minding their own business and meaning absolutely nothing about who I am.

I really enjoyed my Mace experience with Helen.

I didn’t know much about it to start with and Helen explained it all brilliantly, and was a wonderful guide through it.

Although I had some specific things to work on – like my relationship with my daughter, and a difficult relationship with money – other things came up and it was quite organic.

The biggest thing was being able to view the same (previously problematic) thing that I started out with from a completely different and calm perspective and having a deep sense of that being the real me.

Since the sessions I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how I’ve caught myself responding calmly instead of reacting tensely in a number of situations.

I came into the Mace Energy Method meeting with an open mind as to what effects I would experience. I’d been struggling with upheaval in family life, work, and finances. I felt deflated and wanted to get my motivation back.

I left the meeting feeling mentally cleansed and unexpectedly happier than I have been for many years.

I would definitely recommend it (and already have done) to friends and colleagues who want to rid themselves of negative identities and perceptions stored in their psyche.

Having struggled with imposter syndrome at work for as long as I can remember the sensation of having become Teflon coated when faced with the ‘slights’ of others has been wonderful. I no longer hear a criticism of my work in everything others say, I don’t immediately think it’s my failure/worthlessness when something has gone wrong and when someone is having a pop at me, I see their insecurities and sit safe in the knowledge I have done my best.

Before my Mace sessions my mindless phone scrolling was off the charts. I knew why I was doing it but still I continued. After Mace that constant urge to pick up the phone has gone. I still pick up my phone and look at socials but much less often and for a shorter time.

I feel much lighter in the face of conflict. Previously, I would be paralysed by aggression directed at me but after Mace I find myself more able to stand strong in the face of the anger of others.

In general, life feels much easier since my Mace sessions with Helen. I face the world with a sense of lightness that wasn’t present before, feeling more grounded in my true self.

“It’s like I’ve let go of a chip on my shoulder I didn’t even know I was carrying.

I feel lighter, more open and appreciative.”

“The results were nothing short of transformative. My energy has quite literally been on fire! 

This surge of vitality led to something unexpected – a deep decluttering of my home.

I’ve cleared out years of accumulated items from my spare room, organised cupboards and wardrobes, and donated countless items to charity. 

It’s been incredibly cathartic.“

It is a truly wonderful thing  to feel unburdened and empowered, to feel my true self.

It has been completely life changing!

I cannot thank Helen enough for ‘holding my hand ‘and guiding me so expertly through the process , which has cleared out so many negative feelings and emotions.

I am finally free of the negative identity that has held me back for many years and it’s effortless now to make positive choices in the knowledge that this change is permanent

I feel in control of my life and it feels fantastic!

Thank you so much.

The thing I’ve noticed is I don’t have any reactive feelings. When I experience thoughts that used to trigger difficult feelings in me, there now seems to be no energetic response; the thoughts simply pass me by.

My business coach last week questioned a lot of what I was doing. There were thoughts there about whether I was getting it wrong, but there was no energy to them. There was just an ‘oh yeah, I could do something differently.’ There were no feelings of being wrong, or thoughts of being an idiot. I wasn’t super confident either, there was just this sense of it being OK. No unicorns or rainbows, just OK. No worry or fear. Just a practical recognition that I might change something.

In fact I feel kind of empty, a weird but nice quietness. At the weekend I could feel this complete OK-ness that anything that’s happening is OK. For example I reacted to my kids and in the past that would have sent me into judgements about not being enlightened enough yet. But now it feels like this is all part of it. And I can still learn from my experiences. I might learn something or change something and not react to the kids. But it didn’t send me into seeking.

In fact that’s a big change. I’m not seeking. I’m not trying to find problems. There’s nothing to get het up about.

For example, this morning I went to write a post for LinkedIn and I couldn’t think of anything. But it didn’t feel like a problem. Even the thought ‘Do I not care anymore?’ didn’t feel like a problem. I’m still getting my work done, I’m still coaching, and looking forward to coaching, my clients.

There’s less trying to get away from myself. There used to be a constant feeling that there was someone else I should be. And it’s gone.

It’s like there’s something significant that’s missing – but now it’s gone I realise I don’t need it!

After our session I’ve noticed a few things and wanted to share. One is a sense of freedom and lightness and there’s so much less censoring of myself. There’s also a greater clarity about what I bring, and how I serve others. So that’s cool!

I also had an experience where I was so tired. The old me would have felt guilty with thoughts like ‘I should stay and help’. But instead I just said goodnight and that I was going to bed. I had this feeling that I matter, and I took care of myself, and it felt good.

Thank you!

Since my Foundation Sessions I’ve experienced more creativity and flow. I feel like I’m experimenting more. Cutting loose like I used to when I was younger. I’ve spent so much less time second guessing and I’ve had a really consistent experience of enjoyment. I feel more settled into myself, with so much less of the constant worry there used to be.

In fact I had a great example to show how it used to be compared to now. A client cancelled part way through their programme this time last year. At that time there was a visceral fear reaction. A panic. But last week, I had almost the exact same experience, with a client saying they didn’t want to continue their programme and there wasn’t that feeling of abandonment. There was no feeling that I’d screwed up. There was no stickiness. There was sadness, I’ve enjoyed working with him. But then the most amazing thing. We met to close things off properly and had the richest session that added value and had him go off well prepared for what he’s doing next. That would never have been possible last year.

Thank you Helen!

I had never heard of the Mace Energy Method before. But after checking it would be good for me to try, and booking my Foundation Sessions, I went ahead.

I experienced an instantaneous ‘lifting’ and lightness during the sessions with Helen as if I’d taken a breath of laughing gas.

The lifting effect is subtle yet lasting and powerful.

There really is no need to carry around the backpack of bullshit that we all strap on every day.

Helen is a joy to work with and the Mace process is a tremendous opportunity for learning and ‘lifting’.

Invest in some Mace sessions with Helen you will likely meet someone who has been dying to meet you…

‘ Yourself ‘!

Thanks Helen ♥️

“I feel really good! It has sunk in more now. Work feels a lot lighter and better. A huge difference!

Thank you so much for the help.

“I feel so lucky to have bumped into Helen a few years ago, I love being around her and it often feels magical ! she has been a very important and inspirational person in my life, as my coach, guide, mentor and a loving friend. She never fails to intrigue me.

When she first mentioned her encounter with the Mace Energy Method in the Wild Fig Community, she did so with such radiance and joy it was clear she’d seen something huge. What I love about Helen is her tenacity to go toward something she really believes in.

As she was still training to practice the Mace Energy Method I grew more curious about what she was sharing with us and couldn’t wait to try it out for myself, so I decided to go with another practitioner, as Helen wasn’t yet qualified. Following my initial 2 hour session I began to feel pleasantly ‘empty’, like a huge weight had been lifted off me, and there seemed so much more capacity and space to live life with more reliable clarity and authenticity than I had seen previously. This continued to expand, allowing more of the unconscious, deeply impacted below the surface stuff to emerge without much ego involvement or resistance. It seemed like there was more courage available to hold and witness everything unfolding.

After a while this expanded feeling plateaued. Things continued to settle and shift but not at the same initial speed. Once Helen was ready to take clients I didn’t hesitate to book a Subsequent Session with her. I had a few obvious things that I wanted to clear that had seemed to become freed up from my initial Foundation Sessions.

Now I have so much available ‘right now’ capacity without it going via the uncertainty loop of questioning / narratives… that loop of questioning / narratives has been noticeably quiet !! It feels like so much alignment with the whole system. It feels integrative, conscious and liberating!

I was astounded by how quick and direct Helen worked through my ‘stuff’ and discreation happened swiftly – it was really cool! I felt complete and clear after our session and I love how simple and effective this method is. It quite literally blows my mind !”

“Helen is an amazing practitioner. I shared with her the energetic stuckness / block I was feeling around clients paying.

Whenever it came time for clients to pay, I would feel frozen or frazzled, wondering whether they would pay or not and go into unhelpful thoughts of how it would affect my bank account and life.

This would take all my attention off the activities that make me money and cause me to get frustrated / push clients away.

Creating the very things I didn’t want!

Well, after working with Helen for a half hour. I get off our call and see that a client sent me money!

This work is fast and life changing!

Plus, no more energetic stuckness or frazzled feelings.”

I came to Mace as a cynic. I’ve been a therapy practitioner for 10 years and have bought into scores of NEXT BIG THINGS to create lasting change. I’ve spent tens of thousands on the healing journey, both for my clients and myself.

Mace seemed too simple, too easy, too good to be true. It sounded like reinventing the wheel again.

But I trust Helen and was swayed by her enthusiasm so I booked my foundation sessions. AND MY MIND WAS BLOWN.

Even after a few moments of the transformation work, I started to feel high. I had an almost indescribable feeling in my chest of energy; of elation. I couldn’t come down. I felt like a child again – bursting with delight for everything. I was like that for a week.

But more importantly, things in my reality were different.

I thought I’d dealt with all my stuff before – but I realised it had never really gone but just tidied up in the background of my life. My stuff had become like magnolia paint: there without noticing it.

Helen used the Mace Energy Method to take a paint-stripper to my negative identities: quiet beliefs that had not been seen or examined for years but just lived with subconsciously: A belief I was fundamentally unattractive after a boy laughed when I asked him out, when aged 15, was just blitzed.

How did I know? Because I’ve not had that thought since. There is no question about whether I am attractive or not. I just am as I am.

And when I went out dancing, I never checked the mirror once all night. I never wondered when I would be invited onto the dance floor. I never rated my appearance against the other people in the room. ALL THE TYPICAL THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIOURS JUST WEREN’T THERE.

Can you imagine how good it is to feel clean and clear and free to be yourself? That’s exactly how it feels after a Mace Energy Method session with Helen.

And the best bit is, it lasts. Every negative identity that has been deleted, has stayed gone.

Helen is absolutely right. She knows it is the last word in transformation, and now I’ve experienced it too.

I am already compiling my negative identity list to take back to Helen and I would urge anyone and everyone to do the same. She and the Mace Energy Method really are the best.”

Wow, Helen Amery – what an experience.

In six sessions – I’ve had such an enormous transformation, it’s almost impossible to put it into words.

The me who turned up with a list of woes and struggles and dissatisfactions is now a me who seems to glide so much more smoothly through life, as doors magically open, awesome pathways appear under my feet and nudges and manifestations are now a daily joy. I don’t worry about the future very much at all. I am just here, happily in the now, getting excited at what is present.

I still have the same things in my reality as before – it’s just now, they aren’t a problem anymore.

In particular, relationships are much more free and easy, friendships are better, comfort zone is miles further out than it was, work is less draining, money is less of a worry – even weight is down a few lbs without too much drama about it. And my identity has shifted out from being who I thought I was and feeling low worth in that, to just being me. I’m also embracing my given name again and am changing my business plans to reflect it. Alex and Alexandra are both here, integrated and I am present, alive and loving it.

“I went to Helen for a subsequent session due to a feeling of dread that had been triggered by an email I received. Helen guided me beautifully using Mace to discreate the resistance to the feeling. When checking that everything had been cleared, Helen noticed a movement in my body which indicated there was something else to process. I didn’t even realise it was significant till we started the process and I saw what it was about. At the end of this short session I felt so expansive and light. Thank you Helen!”
