WDD Wisdom Speaker

Firekeeper Academy Co-founder
Hélène van Engelen Teacher | Wisdom Keeper | Facilitator

Hélène van Engelen is a seasoned facilitator of transformation, working at the intersection of corporate innovation and therapeutic wisdom. With a background in Total Quality Management and systems thinking, she began her career in the corporate world before transitioning into family therapy, where she deepened her understanding of emotional intelligence and intergenerational dynamics.

Today, Hélène supports individuals, families, and communities as they move through liminal spaces — those uncertain, in-between times where old patterns fall away and new paths emerge. Her work centers on cultivating resilience, emotional clarity, and authentic connection to one’s values and vision. She brings a grounded yet intuitive presence, guiding people through transformative processes with clarity and compassion.

Inspired by nature and ancient indigenous traditions, Hélène draws from these teachings to help clients reconnect to their inner wisdom and natural rhythms. Her approach is holistic and integrative, balancing practical insight with deep emotional and spiritual inquiry.

Hélène’s ability to hold space for transition—whether in a family, a school, or a business—creates a safe container for meaningful growth. She is passionate about helping people uncover what truly matters and supporting them in aligning their lives with purpose, presence, and collective well-being.
