Havening opens up the ability to work disclosure or content free in situations that are often too difficult to put into words.

Training and Support:
Louise is one of the first six Certified Havening Trainers to have been appointed worldwide.  She enjoys the adventure and challenge of bringing Havening to a wider audience. The 2 day authorised Face to Face Havening Training sessions, prior to  the challenges of Covid 19 have been supported by a small group of Certified and most experienced Haveners.  Havening Training is now very effectively  developed and supported via Zoom.

Louise and her husband and daughter (a.k.a. The Carmi Army)  initiated Havening Australia in 2014- this has led to regular visits to the Continent and introducing Havening to  a whole cohort of experienced practitioners. By 2020 Louise and co. have supported the identification of new Trainers in Australia to carry Havening forwards .

She has also presented and supported trainings in the UK, , Dublin Ireland,  New York USA, and Norway.

Since late 2016 Louise and the London Group members introduced an additional learning opportunity attached to the  regular 2 day training.  This third day  'Integration Day' extends the opportunity to practice the variety of Havening Techniques, in a safe place, promoting confidence and supporting integration within the student's existing skill set.

Dr Paul McKenna has been exceptional in promoting Havening Techniques to his world wide audience  via the media, and we are privileged that he  attends the London Group Special Events  to demonstrate his skills to our group.

London  Havening Practise Group:  - attendees from all over the UK and beyond !

The goup ( prior to C-19) met regularly in Central London - it will be  now continuing virtually.

Our participants come from far and wide, to network, share practise and skills, continue learning and of course have some fun.
