Connection and trust are everything. Hilary believes you have the ability to change the story you are telling yourself, rewrite the narrative and put the power of emotional well-being in your own hands so that you can "be kind to your mind".
Hilary often works with purpose driven professionals who don’t feel empowered and are confronted with emotional upsets in life. By using Havening Techniques®, her three pillar process is to retrain, restore and revive you to your resilient self and get you out of your own head!
She is one of the first 150 Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioners in the United States and 500 in the world. She has offices in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Virtual sessions are also available. She was recently recognized by Brainz Magazine as one of the "Global 500" of 2020; an honor given to 500 Companies, Entrepreneurs, Influential Leaders and Small Business Owners recognized for their entrepreneurial success, achievements or dedication to help others around the world.
Through her own healing journey, she explored a number of options with hopes of restoring her own health and emotional well-being. It wasn't until she was introduced to Havening during an introductory workshop that her spark and resilience returned. Hilary volunteered for a demo with Havening Techniques founder Dr. Ron Ruden and the rest is history!
Her blend of work in the health/wellness field and media has given Hilary a chance to truly connect with people on a much deeper level. She is used to holding space for stories to be told. But changing the narrative and creating a safe haven to explore is where the real healing begins. A great coach/practitioner sees in you what you sometimes can’t see in yourself. There is laughter in the lessons and humor in the healing. Together with Hilary, you'll find that and more.
Hilary considers it a gift to hold that space for others on their healing journeys and says it is often the place where the heart opens and allow the best and most beautiful part of ourselves to thrive.

Testimonials
My Attitude to Public Speaking Has Transformed
Three Havening sessions with Hilary were all it took to allay my fears of being interviewed Live on Facebook by one of my heroes, who has a global platform. Beyond allaying fears and instilling confidence, the practical advice was also invaluable! My attitude to Public Speaking has transformed, and I totally recommend Hilary as a Havening Techniques Practitioner! "? Margaret P. - UKHilary is a Gifted Healer and Held Space for Me
I was open to Havening because I have already had experiences with alternative healing treatments in my past like reiki. With Havening, Hilary helped me with my stress I was dealing with at the time helping me manage my stress and anxiety levels during our sessions. It was a great addition to my own self-care routines with the current circumstances that I am still working though with improved ease. Hilary is a gifted healer who held space for me with confidentiality with the obstacles I am working through with Havening. She was mindful about punctuality and keeping track of the time during our session which I also really appreciated.?Hilary D. - New York
