Hi, I’m Ange Helie
The girl behind the glow: Meet Ange Helie
Hey love — I’m Ange, the heart behind AfterGlow Lifestyle Coaching.
And if you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of dieting, obsessing, restricting, overeating, or just never feeling at home in your body... I see you. Because I’ve lived it.
At 16, I developed an eating disorder chasing the “perfect fit body.” I tried it all — Paleo, Keto, macros, calorie counting, cutting out whole food groups — you name it. For over 10 years, I lived on the exhausting pendulum of yo-yo dieting, binge eating, stress eating, and restriction.
And deep down? I just knew there had to be another way.
Through years of trial and error, education, and a whole lot of self-discovery, I found it, or rather I created it: a way of living that actually felt sustainable, enjoyable, and real.
That path became what is now AfterGlow Lifestyle Coaching. A program that doesn’t just “fix food” but helps you feel powerful in your body, free around food, and deeply connected to yourself.
Why I Do This
Because I know what it’s like to spend years stuck in food and body/weight loss obsession.
Because I’ve lived the shame spiral after “falling off” another diet.
Because I know the quiet heartbreak of thinking, is this just how it’s always going to be?
To think, if I just had more willpower, maybe I’d finally figure it out.
To wonder if life will always feel like an endless battle with your body/food.
And I also know the incredible shift that happens when you finally step off that hamster wheel.
When food feels easy.
When lifting weights feels like medicine.
When you catch yourself glowing — not because of a number on the scale, but because you feel fully alive in your own skin.
That’s the AfterGlow. And it changes everything.
The Credibility Bit
I’ve been honoured to be:
Nominated for Top 40 Under 40 (2025)
YWCA Change-Maker’s 2025 Business Innovation Nominee
Voted Best Coach & Best Holistic Health Care in Banff (2022, 2023 & 2024)
But deeper than titles and awards, what really matters is this: I’ve been through the trenches. I’ve done the healing work. And now, I help women ditch diet culture & discover their strength, food freedom, and glow much quicker than it took me.
The AfterGlow Philosophy
At AfterGlow, we’re rewriting the rules of health and fitness.
No more punishment workouts. No more chasing skinny. No more starting over on Monday.
Instead, we focus on:
Lifting weights for strength + vitality
Building food freedom without guilt or shame
Igniting your natural glow weight (the one your body feels happiest at)
Creating a lifestyle that feels vibrant, nourished, and whole
This isn’t just another coaching program. It’s a movement. A safe, supportive space where you get to redefine what health looks and feels like on your terms (not diet cultures.)
Because the truth?
You were never meant to just survive. You were meant to glow. ✨
