About Us
Silk Helix is me - Jenefer Livings.
When I started this business in 2019, it was with a clear purpose: to offer something different. After years of working in HR, I’d become frustrated with how often advice focused only on legal compliance, overlooking the real human dynamics that shape workplaces. I wanted to work in a way that valued depth, nuance and long-term impact and that’s how Silk Helix was born.
At first, Silk Helix was about broad HR consultancy. But like many small businesses, it evolved, shaped by my own interests, experiences and the clients I was most drawn to working with.
Today, Silk Helix is focused on one thing:
Helping organisations understand and embrace neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity at the heart
Neurodiversity isn’t an add-on to what we do - it’s the core. As a neurodivergent person and a parent to a wonderfully neurodivergent child, I bring not only academic and professional expertise, but deep personal understanding to this work. I know how powerful it is when workplaces understand and support neurodivergent minds and how damaging it can be when they don’t.
That understanding shapes everything I do, from the way I design training sessions to how I run Workplace Needs Assessments. My work is rooted in empathy, evidence and a belief in the value of difference.
Where we are now
These days, my work centres on training both neurodiversity awareness and inclusive management training. I work directly with managers and leadership teams to help them build more inclusive, effective workplaces. My sessions are interactive and real, not just theory, but the kind of practical, thoughtful learning that stays with people long after the training ends.
Whether I’m supporting managers to develop confidence in leading diverse teams or helping organisations better understand the experiences of neurodivergent staff, the goal is always the same:
To create workplaces where everyone can thrive, just as they are.
Silk Helix might be a company name, but it’s still just me, bringing together 20+ years of experience, a strong academic foundation and a personal passion for inclusion.
This work matters deeply to me. And that’s what makes it meaningful.
