Michaela Ashby

Michaela Ashby is a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner whose work is shaped by both extensive professional training and lived experience.

As an adoptive parent, former foster carer, therapeutic parenting coach, and trauma-informed teacher, she understands how early experiences shape the brain—and how healing happens in safe, attuned relationships.

Her career has taken her from mental health settings in Norfolk to therapeutic teaching, developmental trauma training, mindfulness, and holistic healing practices. After three years of study, casework, and supervision, she now integrates Havening Techniques® with great success into her trauma-informed approach with individuals, parents, schools, and organisations.

Michaela’s work is evidence based and relational. She works calmly, gently and collaboratively, grounded in neuroscience and guided by the belief that empowerment and healing come from feeling truly seen, heard, and safe.
