Elisabeth Carter

While I am physically located in the Metro-West Boston region, I work primarily online and can accommodate most clients throughout North America, and sometimes  Westeren Europe. I have helped Havening clients improve educational and work performance, address traumatic event-originated fear, distress, pain, and phobias, as well as assisted them to build/rekind a sense of play, to experience more hope, courage, confidence, motivation, energy and other positive, resilience-building emotions.

As your certified Havening Techniques practitioner, I offer an empathetic, judgment-free, and safe healing space where together we address your concerns or goals, reducing suffering can often may originate in past traumas, unhelpful self-talk and self-doubt, and distressful emotions, as well as increase your emotional resilience and well-being so that you bring forth your best self and live with a stronger sense of well-being. You will not need to share details of your trauma with me, if you choose not to--in fact, Havening Techniques is based in the neuroscientific understanding that minimizing such focus trauma is better for removing its imprint in your brain.

      I will bring all my skills and experiences based in 21st-Century advances in neuroscience and mind-body medicine, including Havening Techniques, a comprehensive program for addressing stress and increasing both physical and emotional resilience (which includes client education in mind-body science), reference to key neurobiological processes, insights from positie psychology on the science and function of both positive and negative emotions, and useful tips for using seld-Havening Techniques, breathwork and mindfulness, among others, on your own as well.

      Allow me to guide you toward your healing or other goals, empower you in your own mind/body health improvement, distress relief, self-care and personal growth. "In my session, we focused on my fear about speaking up in meetings.  Elisa was very warm and sincere, and I felt in safe hands. I loved the visual distractions she used during. She helped me delve deeper into the issue, uncovering my 'people pleasing' tendency, which was spot on! Afterwards, I felt very calm and focused, and we had a helpful final discussion. Elisa is a fantastic Havening practitioner; I highly recommend her."                    --Jackie, Scotland

"Elisa used vivid imagery and other techniques to help me address some childhood trauma. I was impressed at how fast we could dive into powerful emotions and then quickly shift them. I felt validated, understood, and much better after. I recommend Havening Techniques®, and Elisa in particular. Working with her was a beautiful, helpful experience."          --Roman, USA

I had a powerful Havening experience with Elisa! We were part of the same Havening Techniques® training course, and one time Elisa offered to do a session with me. All I can say is, “Wow!” She was extremely warm, yet very professional. I knew from the start that I was in capable hands. We addressed a work-related concern: I run multiday trainings, and one was coming up. The havening process was soothing, comforting, and had a real impact. I clearly saw and felt the benefit the very next day when I began facilitating my training and felt clear, calm and centered—exactly what I’d havened about feeling as we’d wrapped up our session. I’m so grateful to Elisa for helping me be my best self so I can continue to help others."            --Gwen, USA

"I love working with Elisabeth. She is full of compassion, empathy, very supportive, a good, attentive listener, and a wonderful person. We worked on my fears of elevators and highway driving, with Havening touch always the foundation. Although English is not my first language, I felt we connected deeply. We uncovered the deep origins of my phobias over a total of 3 sessions. Elisabeth even facilitated a session related to my deceased father, which played a big part in solving these fears. Since then, I continue to use havening on my own to calm my mind whenever needed. I have used elevators successfully, and even driven in big cities! I feel Elisa’s supportive energy and imagination as I recall our sessions and continue using the method in many ways on my own."            --Mara, Germany
