Check out Helen Armstrong’s Bio:

Helen’s life journey has been one of exploration, resilience, and transformation. As a young girl, she moved from England to the United States, then three more times before the age of 12 with her family, eventually adding a few more states and another European stop to her list in adulthood. Constantly adapting to new places and cultures, Helen learned the art of listening deeply, connecting with others, and understanding people from all walks of life. Yet, as often as she learned to blend in, she also knew what it meant to feel different and like an outsider. From an early age, Helen was a highly sensitive and empathetic child who felt the world deeply, experiencing emotions and energies that others didn’t seem to notice. As her British family encouraged her to be "appropriate" and fit societal norms, Helen’s natural vibrancy began to dim, leaving her struggling to find ways to cope with emotions that felt too big to contain. This internal conflict led her down a difficult path with eating disorders and depression. Helen spent most of her energy hiding the guilt, shame and overwhelm that she felt to fit in and feign ‘normalicy’. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with degrees in psychology and communications, Helen leveraged her passion and understanding of human dynamics in a successful 27-year career as an HR executive in Financial Services. She built high-performing teams and coached senior executives, using her empathy and insight to help people realize their potential. However, despite her outward success, Helen felt a growing void and yearned for something more—a deeper connection to health, vitality, and authenticity. Helen’s healing journey began when she rediscovered her connection with nature, especially the healing properties of plants. Through medicinal aromatherapy and gemmotherapy, she found not only physical remedies but also ways to access mental and emotional healing. Each experience with gemmotherapy and essential oils brought her closer to her own spirit, revealing the innate wisdom she held within. Inspired, Helen committed to uncovering her soul’s gifts through various healing practices, including applied kinesiology, energy healing, reiki, Emotion Code, shamanic practices, medical intuition, and sound healing with bowls, tuning forks, and voice. With each modality, she peeled back layers of limiting beliefs and trapped emotions, allowing her authentic self to re-emerge. In 2022, Helen made a bold decision: she left her corporate career to join her dear friend, Jennifer Payeur, in building Divine Health Alliance—a healing clinic in Charlotte, NC offering both in person and remote services. As a healer, guide, intuitive, medium and teacher, Helen draws from her own profound journey of self-discovery to support others on their path to wellness and inner peace. Today, Helen is passionate about guiding clients in understanding the powerful impact past trauma and emotions have on our overall health. Her work is an invitation to embrace resilience, self-acceptance, and the expansive possibilities that come with true healing.

Hi there! I am Jane Hogan, the Wellness Engineer, and the host of Wellness By Design. I spent 30 years designing foundations for buildings until the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis led me to hang up my hard hat and follow my heart. Now I blend my backgrounds in science and spirituality to teach people how to tap into the power of their mind, body and soul. I help them release pain naturally so they can become the best version of themselves.

Wellness By Design is a show dedicated to helping people achieve wellness not by reacting to the world around them but by intentionally designing a life based on what their own body needs. In this show we explore practices, methods and science that contribute to releasing pain and inflammation naturally.
