Michelle's natural energy shines through

Michelle is clear and effective within her practice and ensured at all times that I felt comfortable, safe, understood and that I was leading session.
Michelle's natural energy shines through within her practice and her creativity, knowledge and skillset is compassionate, thoughtful and caring. Michelle's Havening session with myself has supported me to face fears I did not even know existed within myself and was done in such an insightful, beautiful and natural way that I didn't even realise what was occurring until processing it all afterwards. The ongoing support that Michelle has offered since has been an absolute blessing. Michelle's professionalism, natural way of being and beautiful energy are amazing healing qualities within themselves. I recommend Michelle and Havening to EVERYONE!

What an absolute gift.

I feel incredibly blessed to have attended Havening with Michelle. Her warm and open heart (& stunning home office location) quelled some held anxiety and she supported me through journeying with what was quite a confronting traumatic child-hood experience. I felt so safe and held, no judgement -just nothing but love and care. What an absolute gift.

Thank you so much Michelle. I was beyond blown away by the healing I had, just in that one session. To be able to face, acknowledge, witness and then heal that experience has really enriched my life. C.

I loved my havening session with Michelle!

I loved my havening session with Michelle! She was a delight to work with, and her warm and friendly welcoming energy put me instantly at ease. She explained the process well beforehand, and I felt super comfortable to share with her. Havening is a very simple yet incredibly powerful tool, it worked very deeply for me - I continued to feel the clearing out effects for quite some time and was able to observe the process and let it continue subtly working in the background.
Thank you Michelle for holding a beautiful energy to work with, M.
