Helios Transformation Institute
Russ Palmer is not your typical coach. He’s a guide through the wilderness of change—someone who has lived the journey, not just studied it.
As the founder of the Helios Transformation Institute and the creator of The Way of CHANGE™, Russ helps individuals and couples navigate deep personal transformation. His work centers on one essential truth: real change happens when the stories we tell ourselves finally align with who we truly are.
Drawing from training in Robbins-Madanes coaching, trauma-informed care, and human needs psychology, Russ integrates modern coaching methods with ancient insight. His programs help people reconnect to their core values, cross the Identity Line™, and embody the change they seek—emotionally, relationally, and spiritually.
After years in high-performance sales, a painful personal unraveling, and a life-altering Vision Quest, Russ emerged with a mission: to help others find what he found—the freedom that comes from meaning-based transformation.
Today, he works with high-achieving individuals, couples in crisis, and organizations seeking more than surface-level improvement. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or a return to your authentic self, Russ will help you walk that path with courage, structure, and soul.
