Meet Exercise Physiologist Helen Bailey

Helen has always been fascinated by how the human body works, not just the nuts and bolts of muscles and movement, but how all our physiological systems interact to keep us alive, active, and resilient. That deep curiosity, paired with a love of puzzles, problem-solving, and figuring out what to do when things go wrong, led her into the world of Exercise Physiology.

Today, Helen combines that passion with a genuine drive to help people regain control over their health, especially those managing chronic conditions. Whether it’s finding creative ways to help clients move without pain, or helping someone reconnect with the things that make them feel like themself again, Helen’s approach is supportive, solutions-focused, and always grounded in understanding the whole person, not just their symptoms.

At Tailored Health, Helen works across a range of areas including metabolic health (such as cancer recovery and diabetes), cardiac rehabilitation, women’s health, and healthy ageing. She’s also deeply committed to growing her expertise in supporting clients with intellectual disabilities (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), creating inclusive and welcoming spaces for everyone she works with.

Clients love Helen’s mix of calm confidence, sharp thinking, and warm humour. She’s known for making sessions fun, judgment-free, and a safe space for people to be themselves…quirks and all.

Outside the clinic, Helen’s rarely sitting still. She plays competitive hockey, cycles with friends (often en route to good food), and loves hiking, fishing, and camping… basically anything outdoors. She also enjoys cheese, wine, whisky, and a good book or puzzle when it’s time to unwind.

While she doesn’t follow a personal health mantra, she’s a firm believer in regular movement as the antidote to “turning into a grumpy person” and makes a pretty strong case for it!
