Helen Marshall

inspiring speaker on real food, value based business in wellness & creating a life you love.

Helen’s mission is to empower people to be accountable to their purpose with a new business model of freedom – the Primalista Licence.

The model was born from a desire to share a successful grain free food business model. As a health coach, Helen saw first hand how people ‘fell off the wagon’ as they missed comfort food staples like bread, pizza, pastries and cookies. So she created nourishing alternatives to the foods everyone loves and they literally sold like hot cakes.

Helen gets the struggles many face finding a vocation that aligns with their values. She packaged everything she’d learnt about creating a food business from home whilst on a healing journey, raising a family and designing a lifestyle around the things she loves.

The Primalista Licence meets the needs of many people in all areas of their lives: vocational, financial, mental, spiritual, social, physical & familial. To date over 291 Primalistas have joined Primal Alternative in Australia, New Zealand, USA & UK.

Before ditching the rat race, she was a Fitness Instructor and Personal trainer then a Business Manager for a leading recruitment company in the city. Helen has interviewed people all of her life listening to their desires around health, work and lifestyle and has combined those skills to bring her greatest contribution yet – the Primalista Licence.

Helen lives on 100 acres of wilderness in Albany, WA with her husband Mike and their teenage children Sam & Milly. She likes Body Balance, Body Step + Body Pump, massage, coffee with her bestie, sunbathing, meditation, walks in nature and champagne in the spa.
