Hello from the beautiful Hurunui, South Island, New Zealand.

I am a trained New Zealand Registered Nurse, Personal Well-being and Strategy Coach and Accredited Havening Techniques practitioner.
After a long nursing career and many other opportunities to help people heal and grow, I am very happy to be offering safe, quick and effective Havening Techniques in my community and world wide.
I have personal experience seeing how current medical and mental health modalities are not meeting the needs of many.

With Havening Techniques, the fact that a person suffering from trauma, PTSD or other mental/physical conditions, can safely and quickly get better without having to constantly discusing details of their trauma, is amazing to me. It is truly astounding!

If you would like to work with me in person or online, visit my website for more details.

Chronic Anxiety

Karen is very calming in her demeanour, which put me at ease. One session of Havening was all it took to sort my anxiety over a specific incident. Would highly recommend.

Severe Panic attack

Following a serious panic attack, I had an emergency Havening Session with Karen. This was a life saver for me, and really proved that Havening Touch has immense power to heal. I calmed down and even started laughing during some of the techniques that we used to distract my shattered mind.
I highly recommend Havening for PTSD, anxiety and panic attacks. It is gentle and there is no need to speak about traumatic event. I am so thankful for Havening Techniques.
Ash

Teenage trauma

I had a traumatic experience when I was 16 which gave me serious PTSD. I have been to many counsellors over the years. After having Havening with Karen, I couldn’t believe the difference. Less to no anxiety, no panic attacks and stress levels were lowered.
I felt comfortable doing things that previously scared me. I highly recommend Havening with Karen.

Fear of flying

I had Havening to help with my long term fear of flying. I can honestly say that with one session with Karen, I was able to look forward to going on holiday, rather than the fear of getting on an aeroplane. Obviously I wasn’t sure whether I would feel calm until the day of the flight but, as my family will attest, I was calm from the drive in, waiting in queues to standing in the alleyway waiting to board. Following the initial flight, we took five more flights within our holiday period and that fear never came back. My Havening experience was truly lifechanging. Maddy

Maddie - Spider phobia

‘My experience of havening with Karen was far more effective than I could have imagined. I approached Karen with a severe phobia to spiders, my history of this has been uncontrollable, brought on panic attacks and I have been unable to find a remedy to control this. Karen did not give me anything to expect, she just calmly walked me through the process and was very knowledgeable. She holds space in a beautiful way and I’m very grateful to have found her, my phobia has declined significantly and I am forever thankful for this, I am now looking forward to overcoming some other built up traumas with Karen now that I have experienced the power of this technique. Thankyou karen!!!’
