About Helen

Helen and AhmedHelen Barnes was born and grew up in Auckland, New Zealand. At age 20 she headed off to the UK and Europe embarking on her OE which exposed her to different cultures and peoples. On returning from overseas she began a successful career in the travel industry which spanned some 20 years culminating in her becoming a Director and Shareholder in one of New Zealand’s largest travel companies.

At age 27 Helen’s only brother, Geoffrey died in a fatal car crash on Auckland’s harbour bridge and while Helen was devastated by his passing, it also heralded the beginning of her spiritual path and the emergence of her psychic and intuitive gifts.

After a long and successful career in the corporate world, Helen faced ‘burn-out’ and finally took stock of her life and began her healing journey. Not sure of where it would lead, she began to seek different solutions to the physical dis-ease that had manifested in her body and so began her spiritual journey. Describing herself as a ‘workshop junkie’ during this time, Helen undertook a diverse range of studies including, massage, reflexology, holistic pulsing, channelling, spiritual development, radical forgiveness therapy to name a few.

After 12 months of rehabilitation, Helen was clear that she was not going back to the corporate world. She had awakened to her healing and channelling gifts and was now clear that her path was to follow her soul’s purpose and be a lightworker and metaphysician. From humble beginnings she built up a healing business (The Healing Touch) and then opened a healing centre (A Divine Place) where she offered healings, readings and workshops.

In 2003 she published her first book, Emerging Soul – Secrets to leading a spiritually fulfilled life,and in 2009 she published Self Realisation –A Journey to the Heart, both of which can be purchased from KeyOfLife Mysteries' online shop here.

Helen in Cairo

Helen’s first encounter with Egypt was in 2001 when she took a group on a spiritual journey. After two more group trips, Helen was hooked and so began her love affair with this ancient land culminating in her marriage to Ahmed, her Egyptian husband, at the end of 2006. Helen was gifted and adopted the name Kareema as her Egyptian name. When a friend did the numerology of this name it came up as a number 9 which is the same as her birth date number and endorses her life purpose to ‘be of service to humanity’.

Helen has spent the past 3 years (2007 to 2009) living in Egypt at her house at the Pyramids of Giza. At the end of 2009 she returned to New Zealand as the energies of Aotearoa called her home. Living in a surrendered way, in service to the light, has now brought Helen to a place of re-establishing a base in New Zealand and 2010 is a year of new beginnings. While Helen will be facilitating workshops and conducting individual sessions in New Zealand, this year is about taking some time out for herself and she intends traveling as well as taking up painting and doing some more writing.

Working with the sound vibration of the Language of Light Helen is able to do her work from any physical location around the world, over the telephone. In many ways Helen describes the telephone sessions as more powerful than face to face sessions, and her clients endorse this also. “It appears that the telephone work eliminates all physical distractions and enhances the impact of the sound frequencies offering a powerful opportunity for the healing energies” says Helen.
