Meet Helen Draper
Helen Draper is the Founder and Director of Climate Calm™.
In 2021, a devastating neurological condition reduced her from a marathon runner to struggling to walk her young son to school.
Three years of research and healing led to the Climate Calm™ Method, born from her determination to transform adversity into alignment and resilience.
She has nearly two decades of experience at the forefront of UK climate leadership, serving as Deputy Leader and spokesperson for the Wales Green Party and as a government advisor on net-zero policy.
Helen combines professional authority with lived experience, giving her a rare ability to guide changemakers from chaos to inspired solutions. Today, she writes and speaks on climate wellbeing, teaches yoga, and serves as a Non-Executive Director on the board of Wales’ leading sustainable development charity.
