Meet the Team

Helen Matic

Founder, and Head of EP

Helen built Strength By Women after years of watching women fall through the same gap, rehab environments that treated them like a number, and gym floors that couldn't meet the complexity of their bodies. She knew women needed more than either could offer.

Strength By Women was founded to be that answer. Helen's clinical methodology blends rehabilitation with progressive strength work, individually prescribed for each woman's body, health profile, and stage of life. It's evidence-based, precisely tailored, and designed to evolve as you do. A mother of two young girls, Helen brings both professional rigour and personal insight into what it means to train through the realities of a woman's life.
