Marcia Patrice Ganeles

My interest in Havening Techniques® was sparked by a presentation in another trauma healing program. I experienced Havening Touch on myself and felt the benefits and empowerment from simple stroking of my palms, upper arms and face. Wow, how could something this simple, be so good? Little did I know that there was so much more waiting to be revealed in this revolutionary practice. 

 

I am Marcia Patrice Ganeles, and I have lived a life of complex trauma and followed many paths to heal depression, anxiety, panic attacks, depersonalization and other health issues. Some modalities relieved my discomfort for periods of time, but it wasn’t until I found Havening that I had a felt sense of being able to heal the root cause, with a hope and process of creating new neural pathways and regulating my nervous system.  I have personally experienced cancer, acute infectious hepatitis, a few divorces, deaths of pets, many surgeries, child abuse, betrayal, panic attacks, depression, chronic fatigue.  I have been around the block!  I am grateful to my amazing Havening mentor and trainer, Lynn Demers by modeling how to help clients find resilience and safety through this profoundly fabulous process of Havening Techniques! 

 

How My Creativity Passions Relate to my Havening Practice: 

I love to incorporate creativity into my work with my clients, and Havening Techniques offers a beautiful canvas upon which we can choreograph outcomes that can change our neurobiology. How cool is that? My bachelor’s degree is in Fine Arts. The connection between creating art, music, writing, and mental health is profound.  Creating beauty is a driving force for me and so is using art to express whatever comes out, as for me, the process is as important as the final product.  Creativity is apathyway to explore, and my skills and experience creating art and improvising music provide a wounderful foundation for practicing Havening Techniques. How? you may ask. The Havening Techniques process is almost like a magical choreography of intuition led by the client, and guided by the skills and experience of the practitioner. I love guiding my clients to use elements of fun distractions, beauty, improvisation and imagination (and magical) in our sessions. Even imagining is a creative process. When we blend mindfulness & play with Delta Brain waves that we generate from Havening Touch®, we plant seeds of possibilities and create new outcomes for a life we love.

 

Some of my art training in addition to my Fine Art Degree including being a certified Kindness Rocks® Workshop Facilitator, certification in Sound, Voice and Music in the Healing Arts, MS in Education with a focus in designing online art courses with a vibrant social context. Teaching college and university writing, photoshop, motion graphics, and web design. 

 

I am very experienced working one-on-one and in groups both online and in person. I love holding space for people, and have spent the last few years learning to regulate my own nervous system so I can be present and hold a safe container for others - colleagues, students, and clients. 

 

Many moons ago, I lived in an Intentional Community called The Findhorn Foundation in Scotland, where we held workshops in human potential, and where I was exposed to many different therapy and healing techniques.  However my real somatic practice began when I enrolled in Trauma Healing Accelerated (THA) where I was introducted exposd to Havening Techniques®, and where I completed professional level certificates in her Biology of Trauma training. I am a Certified Mentor, and I train new mentors as well as lead somatic drop-ins and coffee chats for our Intentional Community of Support. I lead somatic sessions for Dr. Aimie (Aimie Apigian, MD), and have been Lead Mentor for her Foundational Journey course.

 

One of the beautiful aspects that I love about Havening sessions is ending each session with some kind of positive take-away action for the client, should they choose to practice self-havening. I am pleased to have already received some wonderful testimonials from my case studies. I would love the opportunity to support you in your journey to creating a life you love. 

 

I welcome you to enter the forest path and work with me on your journey to creating your brilliant and vibrant life, one step at a time. 

 

I hope to see you soon. With love, Marcia
