Hi, I’m Helen Thompson, and if there’s one thing worth knowing about me, it’s that I genuinely care about helping people feel good about themselves.
I’m a diploma-qualified kinesiologist and nutritionist, and I created Icarus Body Confidence with a simple belief at its core: everyone deserves to feel supported, empowered and at home in their own body. My purpose is to help you feel like the strongest version of yourself – the kind of confidence where you walk into a room and own it, or catch your reflection and think, yes, that’s me.
Whether you’re focusing on body confidence, muscle building, inch loss, skin tightening or simply improving how you nourish your body, I’m here to support you through every step. My approach is warm, judgment-free and centred entirely around what works for you. Together, we’ll understand what your body needs and map out the results you want to achieve.
Icarus Body Confidence is built on warmth, support and science. Our mission is simple: to help real people feel stronger, healthier and genuinely confident in their own skin.
We focus on real results, real guidance and treatments grounded in clinical technology and nutritional knowledge. Every plan is tailored, every client is welcomed without judgment and every session is designed to help you feel better from the inside out – physically, emotionally and mentally.
Think of Icarus as your results-driven wellness best friend: supportive, honest, rooted in science and always cheering you on. A sweet retreat you can look forward to each week.
Whether you’re starting a weight loss journey, rebuilding muscle, regaining strength after setbacks, working through GLP-1 changes, aiming to feel better for an upcoming holiday or simply wanting to feel more at home in your body, we’re here for you.
Because Icarus is more than treatments.
It’s encouragement.
It’s community.
It’s transformation – with heart, humour and expertise behind it.
Confidence shouldn’t be a luxury. It’s something everyone deserves.
At Icarus Body Confidence, we’re more than just a fitness and wellness centre – we’re a destination for empowerment, rehabilitation, and transformation. Our mission is to help you break through limitations and embrace your best self with confidence. Using the latest in Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology, we offer tailored, non-invasive treatments designed to rebuild muscle strength, improve body composition, and enhance functional fitness, all in a supportive, high-tech environment.
Our Story
I founded Icarus Body Confidence with a clear purpose: to provide an effective, accessible path to muscle strength and rehabilitation for everyone – from those looking to improve quality of life to those striving for peak physical aesthetics. My journey in fitness started over 30 years ago, and though an injury redirected my path, my appetite for knowledge and alternative strength training after injury only became stronger, thereby understanding the diverse needs of a variety of individuals. I realised that not everyone’s journey to strength or recovery looks the same. This belief is at the heart of Icarus Body Confidence – each person is unique, and our approach reflects that.
Who We Serve
Icarus Body Confidence was designed with a wide range of clients in mind:
Injury Recovery & Muscle Rebuilding
For those rebuilding muscle after injury or seeking stability for weak joints, EMS can target essential muscle groups without physical strain, supporting stability and mobility in knees, ankles, hips, and core.Support for Age-Related Muscle Loss
Muscle mass can decline with age or lifestyle, leading to loss of balance, joint weakness, and discomfort. EMS offers a safe, effective way to regain strength, supporting a more active lifestyle and reducing age-related risks.Postpartum & Core Strengthening
Our EMS treatments address conditions such as diastasis recti and weak core muscles, providing a non-invasive solution for those looking to regain strength and stability, especially after childbirth.Weight Management and Muscle Maintenance
For those who have lost weight and want to rebuild or maintain muscle mass, EMS helps improve muscle tone and body composition for a leaner, stronger physique.Boost in Confidence and Fitness Kick-Start
Sometimes, all you need is a jump-start. EMS provides a highly efficient workout alternative, helping you break through plateaus and regain motivation without the risk of overexertion or injury.Aesthetic Goals – the Beach-Ready Body
For clients aiming for that sculpted look, EMS is an advanced solution that provides muscle toning and fat reduction simultaneously, targeting specific areas for visible results.
