We remember Helen vividly from London days and particularly around the premiere of Birth with RD Laing at the NZ High Commission. She was a force of nature and someone who could sweep you up in her passion to communicate. We also got our second cat from the Brews! Phil - we remember a very wet holiday in Cornwall. With love and sympathy from Rob and Colleen.

Condolences to Helen's family. Helen was a remarkable woman and a trail blazer. Many thousands of NZ women who have never heard of Helen owe much to her and have benefited from her devoted and determined work in childbirth and parenting practises in New Zealand. Arohanui, Helen.
