I became a Havening practitioner because it is truly the most effective therapy I’ve come across for profound psychological healing in a very fast time! My whole life had been haunted by trauma from my birth and childhood bullying which left me incredibly vulnerable to feeling unacceptable - that something was wrong with me at the core. This prevented me from having satisfying and harmonious relationships, and also from following my true calling in life. I was too busy trying to be accepted and esteemed to find an authentic connection to myself and others and struggled with addictive eating patterns. I’ve had years of many different therapies and while these definitely helped, they didn’t shift that feeling that kept me locked out of a sense of peace with myself and belonging with others.

As a new mother to a gorgeous wee boy, I wanted something better for him. I wanted to be a better role model and offer him a life embedded in community. After just a few sessions of Havening I experienced a deep, undeniable sense of self-acceptance for the first time in my life that has had huge ripple effects through my life, including having the courage to follow my calling as a healer. 

Practicing Havening calls in strengths of facilitation and holding space from my former career as a social innovator, combined with my innate sensitivity and essential care and curiosity for people’s journeys through life and helping them to become more free within themselves. I have worked on many wonderful, groundbreaking projects in my life but Havening is what feels most transformative and powerful. I have the privilege of seeing clients change profoundly week-to-week between sessions and it gives me so much joy. Hearing the stories of what they have lived through moves me deeply. It is an honour to be doing this work!
