Helen Woodhouse was recently interviewed by TheCelebrity.Online and below are her answers to our questions.

How do you introduce yourself and profession?

Helen Woodhouse: My smile and positive energy are contagious when i walk into a room and my bright-coloured ZumbaWear always announces my presence!

I love the world music that Zumba delivers to my life every month and enjoy learning new choreos and moving to the groove!

As a primary school teacher of 16 years, I love nothing better than dressing up and creating awe and wonder in the classroom!

My Zumba for Kids classes are vibrant and fully of energy and jam packed with choreo and games that create a happy buzz that gives all my students a positive energy to make better lifestyle choices and feel awesome!

Childhood to Adulthood – How was the transition from your childhood into adulthood and what good and bad things you remember?

Helen Woodhouse: Growing up in a little village has made being part of the big wide world overwhelming at times!

Being small and cuddly as a child made transitioning to a woman difficult as my body literally went every which way! Healthy eating, a love of fitness and becoming a Mum pulled me into shape and transformed me into the woman I am today!

Looking back children can be cruel to one another – My body size and shape was just not perfect enough to fit in with the other girls and I doubted myself all the time – anything is possible if you believe in yourself and want to be the best version of yourself each and everyday! … and its important to remember – there is no such thing as perfect!!!

Struggle – What hardships you faced during your life?

Helen Woodhouse: Health is paramount and breaking my right wrist walking the dog and requiring tendon transplant surgery 18 months later meant I lost my cape and wearing my knickers outside my tights an impossible task!! I was suddenly incapable of doing all the day to day tasks we take for granted but determination, stamina and consistency pulled me through! I am industrious!! Joining the gym in March 2022 has truly taken me to outta space and back but I have smashed my goals and am proud of my achievements!
