Susan Crowther

I am a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner and have been in health care since 1982, first as a nurse (general and psychiatric), and for 32 years as a registered midwife. I am a reflexologist, mindfulness life couch and meditation instructor as well as a co-counsellor. After my PhD, focused on experiences of being at birth, I hold a university professorial role leading-research projects examining people’s experiences of health and social care. My main focus has been on psychosocial, cultural, spiritual, and emotional wellness. Havening is integrating all that I have learnt and experienced across my life. I am happy to work with people in person in New Zealand or online from anywhere. My focus is helping others self-actualise and reach their full potential. Although I do have a special focus on childbirth trauma, fear of childbirth, medical phobias, and birth preparation, I am more than happy to work with anyone who seeks Havening as a way to self-heal those aspects of their lives that impede flourishing and prevent building their resilience. For childbirth related issues I provide a comprehensive childbirth debrief on request and havening techniques as indicated – the intention of these childbirth sessions is to move you from feeling bereft and powerlessness to one of empowerment and buoyancy. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
