Hello, i'm Helen.

Your Female Fitness Guru

Who is HERA Coaching?

I’m Helen Buckingham, founder of HERA, where you come to build strength, confidence, and unstoppable energy through fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching.

A retired international heptathlete turned women’s strength and fitness coach, with a passion for women’s health sparked by my own journey - navigating exercise through pregnancy, recovering from a challenging birth, and rebuilding my body and confidence as a mum of two. I know firsthand how powerful it feels to go from surviving to thriving, and I want every woman I work with to feel that too.

​

Armed with a Master’s degree in Sports Medicine, Exercise & Health, plus specialist qualifications in pre- and postnatal exercise, I combine evidence-based coaching with real-life experience.
