How my life story shaped my method & work.
In this biography of me, Lies Helsloot, you’ll start to understand why I ‘get’ you. My life story and my own crises helped me grow so I can help you even better. Everything happens for a reason…
My journey to becoming a transformational mentor has been fueled by my life story, which continues to shape the way I live, work, and help career-driven individuals, particularly women, overcome self-imposed stress. At the heart of my work lies my 7-step TAKE YOU TIME™ Method and Quantum Human Design™ , which helps clients press “PAUSE” and “RESET”, allowing their mental health, physical health, and relationships to flourish. I guide women and men to transform from a life of exhaustion, health challenges, and self-neglect to one where they finally put themselves first. I believe that self-care is the key to lasting health, wealth, and happiness.
I’ve walked the same road: I “get” it. My own experiences have taught me that transformation starts with truly “listening” to ourselves, finding out who we really are in our Quantum Human Design™ chart.
My Childhood: The Seed of Transformation
I was born in Belgium in 1977… (so now you know how old I am) Growing up in the countryside, surrounded by nature, I was always busy and full of energy. My love for plants, healthy food, and the healing power of nature was rooted in my upbringing. I spent countless hours in the meadows, the forest, and the garden, learning to care for plants, animals, and people. From a young age, I felt the deep satisfaction of helping others, often finding solutions to their challenges. In nature and through helping others I felt like God was talking to me. But my mother always warned me: “Be careful, love, or you’ll burn yourself out, always putting others first.” Of course, I didn’t listen—but that lesson would stay with me, shaping my approach to life and work. I later found out that one of the reasons I suffered exhaustion was not living according to my energy type in Quantum Human Design™: I am a 2/4 Initiator/Manifestor.
Ballet & Walking: The Foundation of My Approach to Health
As a teenager, I poured my energy into ballet, training five times a week while juggling school, singing in a band, being a youth movement leader and working to make extra money. Ballet taught me how to create a lean, strong body and the importance of posture and presence. I later explored other fitness techniques, like Pilates, Callanetics, and weightlifting. Walking became my way to clear my head and reset (I wrote 2 books about it) —something I now help my clients discover as part of their transformation. Walking is the foundational exercise in my health programs.
Early Career: From Health Enthusiast to Entrepreneur
I pursued a master’s degree in Political and Social Sciences, aiming to change the world. During my time at university I also got more and more interested in holistic living and spiritual alignment. So, after graduating, I realized my true passion lay in healthy living. At 24, I bought a well-known health food restaurant, marking the beginning of my journey as an entrepreneur. I worked tirelessly for six years, balancing a demanding business and becoming a mother. But the combination of motherhood and entrepreneurial burnout took a toll on my health, causing severe exhaustion and even hair loss. I knew something had to change.
"Allow yourself the freedom to explore Who You are. It is in these moments that you truly Make that transition and thrive."
Discovering my real story
After selling my business, I focused on catering, writing for health magazines, and hosting cooking workshops. I continued to push myself, never fully acknowledging the toll it was taking on my health. But eventually, a significant shift occurred—I realized I needed to ‘listen’ to my body, heart and mind. I accepted a job as a project leader with the City of Ghent managing European Commission funded projects, offering a steadier pace and more time for self-reflection. Still, the pressures of working in a large organization, combined with a sedentary lifestyle, led to weight gain and a loss of my former vitality.
But as I’ve always believed, once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur. I continued to study holistic living and spirituality. Being a true Initiator/Manifestor in Human Design I left the security of my job and took a leap of faith, starting a new business with the mindset of ‘following my true self’. This journey led to the birth of the TAKE YOU TIME™ Method, a powerful approach rooted in self-care, helping others heal and transform.
The Birth of the TAKE YOU TIME™ Method
As I worked on my own personal growth, I wrote a book about my struggles with health and hair loss, introducing the concept of ‘Take You Time’ as a vital step in self-care. This became the foundation of my method, which emphasizes the importance of regular pause and reset moments to restore balance in life.
But life wasn’t done teaching me lessons. Shortly after publishing my book and launching a luxury hairbrush brand ‘Delphin & Emerence’ in 2017, I faced the sudden loss of my mother to cancer, the end of my marriage, and the sale of my childhood home—all in the span of a year. This devastating period forced me to confront my limits. I was physically and mentally burned out, and I knew I had to make a real change. The pandemic offered me the space to reset, and I promised myself I would never again ignore the importance of self-care.
A couple of years later, in 2023, crisis hit me again as my second husband took his own life after we got married 5 months before. His passing away was and unfortunately still is being followed by a horrible flood of evil forces. I was forced to accept the situation and see it as an impuls for personal growth. God helped and is still helping me through this.
A Transformational Approach to Life & Business
Today, my TAKE YOU TIME™ Method and my work as a specialist in Quantum Human Design™ serves as a guiding light for career-driven individuals who hit crises and are ready (or sometimes forced) to prioritize themselves, heal, and grow. By addressing self-imposed stress and fostering true self-care, my method empowers clients to thrive in all areas of their lives—health, wealth, and happiness. This holistic transformation is at the core of everything I do.
I believe in lifelong learning and continue to educate myself in advanced Quantum Human Design™ and am currently also studying at the university of KULeuven to get my master’s degree in theology.
I’m here to guide you on your own journey of healing and self-discovery. Through my method, you’ll reconnect with your true self and embrace the power of crisis-created ‘pause’ to live a life of balance, vitality, and fulfillment.
You learn to let go of what no longer reflects your values and self-worth and start writing a new story: a story worthy of the truth of who you really are.
