Havening

 Embody Your Authenticity with Havening Techniques®

Be empowered in the present
Find freedom from the past
Open to joy and your vibrant future

 

With Havening Techniques we use guided techniques alongside Havening Touch® to create foundational change through neuroscience to boost mental and emotional well-being, swiftly move beyond old habitual patterns and limitations, from conceptual to embodied change and develop positive behaviours and relational dynamics that are healthy and sustaining. We enhance and promote a positive sense of self, inner clarity, focus and movement towards the life you more deeply desire.

Awaken your brightest potential and move through life with greater joy and ease.
Let your strong, clear, capable self emerge and shine through.

No matter how attentive, reflective and self aware we are, some reactions and patterns cannot be changed at the level of concept and thought alone. When limiting beliefs, recurring sensations and dynamics continue to play out in our life we can move into the neurobiology of the subconscious mind, somatic body memory and the nervous system to make change at the root level with Havening Techniques.

How will we work?

1:1 sessions work through consultation, guided enquiry and self applied Havening Touch® with a weaving of awareness that can include language, imagery, somatic body-based sensations and energetic sensing to discover what is most wanted at this time, what is blocking your needs from being fully met and your desires from becoming a reality. To move into self-leadership and live with more aliveness and more of your own true whole-hearted yes.

I combine grounding practices, heart centred enquiry, neuroscience, somatic body awareness and psycho-sensory techniques with subtle intuitive awareness to safely and skilfully clear encoded patterns that are no longer useful or needed in the present, and to cultivate new pathways for the life and lifestyle that will be more beautiful, rich and real for you.

Is this for you?

This is for you if you are ready for resolution and for change. If you are open to feeling and sensing into responses rather than simply thinking through a problem. If you are willing to be clearly yet gently guided whilst remaining fully autonomous.

What is holding you back from living the life you truly desire?

 

What to expect

A grounded, non-judgmental approach helps you experience a deep sense of peace and lightness.

Clients share transformative experiences, describing feelings of relief and liberation, profound happiness, and a newfound sense of grounding. Many report deep stillness, greater peace and clarity, and relief from fatigue, anxiety and worry. Others notice an increase in hope and inspiration, better communication and confidence with a renewed ability to smile and experience joy.

If you are ready to experience more freedom, joy and empowerment, reach out to discover how Havening can support you in living a more fulfilling life.

  • With Havening we work not just with concept, thought and awareness but with real, lived and felt experience. By making change at the root of the issue we bring resolution to the mind, body, nervous system and into daily lived life. We remove, resolve and clear the encoding and meaning that is driving the system to respond in habitual ways. We remove the pathways of activation so that the past no longer plays out in the present.

    This empowers us to create long-lasting change and because emotional, bodily and mental responses can be liberated the past is quiet, settled and at peace, we become free to choose and step into the future we desire.

    Havening Techniques are neuro-scientific mind-body techniques that produce delta brainwaves and positive neurobiology. This allows us to generate new neural pathways to create a healthy mindset and life enhancing habits.

  • With these deceptively simple techniques we generate neuro-chemical changes that can help to build greater resilience, develop a stronger sense of our true self and increase strength and resourcefulness.

    We do not need to stay with distressing memories or events in history, a moment of recall and activation is all that is needed to de-code and make lasting change by breaking the cycle and the loop of activation. All sessions are regulated, compassionate and safely guided with a lightness and respect for anything that has been experienced or witnessed.

    Re-imagining or re-framing past events, adverse circumstances and associated beliefs and patterns, allows resourcefulness and inner qualities to be embodied (brought into the bodily knowing) into present day. To move beyond trauma - confident, clear and resourced.

  • Havening Techniques use Havening Touch® with professional guidance to work with events, patterns, behaviours, dynamics, intentions and client centred goals.

    Present - Arrive fully in the present moment, into the body - grounded, aware, empowered and free to respond and choose. Relieve stress, release tension and support mental and emotional well-being whilst enhancing and embodying the qualities that support you in your life. Learn effective daily skills to enhance wellbeing, vitality and inspiration - allowing you to be ready for all that life brings your way.

    Past - Skilfully and respectfully work with Havening to delink unhelpful coping strategies and outdated patterns in the alarm system of the brain by removing and resolving past traumatic encoding. The chemical and electrical change from Havening Touch de-traumatises the identified memory and removes its negative effects from both our psyche and body. We can then reframe and shift our perspective. This allows resolution and freedom from past moments we may not even be aware still influence and trouble us today.

    Future - Seed, feel, know and nurture the authentic future that is desired. Discover and create the habits that support a bright, vibrant future, bringing the quality of life we want into our daily reality. This can include preparing for, and rehearsing, upcoming events (if necessary), to move forward with confidence.

  • Sessions are totally client-centred, truly collaborative and gently guided, whilst being led by your own inner knowing and wisest self. Weaving awareness through language, imagery, somatic body-based sensations and our innate access to creativity, the techniques help release the past and awaken the brightest and fullest potential of each individual. This strengthens and inspires self leadership and puts you at the centre of your self, your transformation and your life.

    Once we release the past we can move beyond patterns, blocks and fears with ease and be free to experience ourselves within the life we once only dreamed of.

  • Written prompt summary and guidance for practice optimisation and integration can be sent by email.

    Practice enhances the process of positive state change and mental and emotional wellbeing to quieten trigger responses and bring steadiness and calm in difficult moments, as well as helping to prevent further stress responses through resilience, strength and capability. Through increased capacity and ongoing regulation.

  • ​"Jo helped me to prepare for an upcoming event that I was dreading and also needing to support others through. I had a session with Jo beforehand where she walked me through the upcoming event, step by step starting from the night before. Using the Havening Techniques, we set the energy at each point, we built in all the support, strength, trust and peace I needed. She took time and care to make sure I felt thoroughly comfortable and prepared at each stage. When it came to the day the energy was there to meet me. I went to bed peacefully the night before as we had visualised and slept well. On the day I felt peaceful and supported and everything went really well. I felt able to hold and support others and even calmly navigated unexpected things in the day. I felt strong and proud of myself and pleased that I had been able to provide the support others deserved. I actually look back at the event as a positive experience and all of this is down to Jo, the power of the Havening Techniques and the love and care she gave me."

  • "I first came to havening with Jo shortly after being diagnosed with breast cancer. My panic attacks had become utterly unmanageable as I navigated terror for my life. Jo helped to anchor me back into my body with the self soothing techniques. Together over the following weeks we explored the inner territory's of my early childhood traumas, reframed the upcoming mastectomy and further milestone events on my continued journey through cancer. If you are seeking someone through troubled times, anxiety, panic, old patterns or behaviours or health situations then consider Jo as your guide. She is exceptional; kind, graceful and deeply skilled in this work. She has my heartfelt thanks for all that she has witnessed and held for me thus far. Havening is profound in its simplicity. Thank you for introducing me to this life skill Jo"

    Lys

  • "My havening sessions were an emotional and physical release from all the pain and trauma I had experienced.  I truly let go, and learned how to soothe my soul and reconnect with my inner self, with Jo's gentle guidance.  I felt safe, secure and comfortable embarking on my healing journey with Jo!  Thank you so much for your non-judgemental, calm and loving support."  

    Jemma

  • "Jo supported me with the Havening Techniques whilst I was going through a difficult time with grief which triggered past trauma. I wanted a therapy that was gentle on my nervous system but would really help me to recover. I feel blessed to have found Jo as her empathy, warmth and expertise in Havening has been transformative to my health. I looked forward to seeing Jo each time (on Zoom) because I felt safe in exploring difficult past issues.  I learned a lot about myself and I frequently laughed as Havening is fun whilst being incredibly powerful too.  Thank you Jo for your care and support at a difficult time. You are truly gifted."

    Helena

  • "I have been working with Jo via Havening whilst healing from chronic illness. It is no exaggeration that I have been absolutely blown away by the effectiveness of this technique in helping me come to terms with my illness, as well as addressing underlying anxiety at its source, dealing with chronic pain and current physical limitations and generally deepening my overall understanding of, and connection to, my true self. I am absolutely sure that the hugely beneficial results of these sessions will stay with me for the rest of my life. Each session is very much led by how I am feeling on the day, what's coming up for me recently and what I'd like to take a deeper look at, whilst being sensitively led by Jo's expert guidance. We never look at anything that I do not feel comfortable with at the time, however through a number of sessions we have gently peeled back the layers and reached the core of the issues, which can then be addressed. Jo is extremely kind, caring, encouraging and competent; I have always felt comfortable during our sessions, and trust her fully. I could not be more grateful for Jo's support, which has been pivotal in my road to recovery, and I can see how the Havening Techniques could be extremely healing for so many."

    Sophie

  • “Can you imagine something that has been plaguing your mind for days, weeks or months just not being there? Can you begin to imagine how something so distressing that you cannot get away from can finally be gone I definitely couldn't and I could not believe how quickly the Havening worked to relieve me of such a distressing memory, a trauma that would not leave my mind, emotions or body. It was literally like magic to feel the space, quiet and peace again. I could finally talk about it without any fear, physical or emotional pain and I felt safe and calm in my body once again. I highly recommend this technique to free you from past experiences and to find your peace.”

    A.J

  • “Jo is outstanding at observing comments and body language; she keeps a detailed record of what is said and the emotions attached to the words. She is extremely good at observing small details and giving helpful and profound feedback of what she has observed. My doctor referred me to Jo and initially I was very reluctant to share my issues but Jo is patient and eventually I was able to discuss them. The sessions I have had over the last few months have been very beneficial and now we still keep in touch regularly but less frequently."

    Marion

  • "I had no previous experience of Havening but agreed to try it after Jo explained the theory. The technique involves the gentle and kind stroking of hands, arms or face whilst exploring and releasing feelings and emotions that surface and, through that process, I have been able to gradually lower my anxiety levels relating to both past and on-going events. With the resultant inner calm, I was able to feel and understand my anxieties and through the questioning and developing of alternative worded statements I have become aware of a distinct change in both my perception and feelings towards my anxieties and also towards myself generally. ​I found it extremely helpful and supportive that I was able to build on the healing work away from my appointments with Jo and in my own time identify deeper triggers and belief patterns. I could then work on these to enable me to build up resilience independently."

    Julia

  • "Working with Jo has been an absolute delight on so many levels and I am now able to use Havening at any time for my own emotional wellbeing and this is proving to be a huge benefit in my life – it is simple but so effective. Jo is such a kind, empathic, non-judgemental person, with years of experience. I would thoroughly recommend working with Jo, it has supported me in moving forward with my life."

    J.C

  • “Wowzers- Thank you for the technique - I have already had cause to use it often. I am really surprised at how quickly it lets me calm and centre.”

    Lotte

  • "I saw Jo during a really low period following successive bereavements. I wasn't sure what I needed but I was drawn to the holistic side of Jo's practice and the idea of a journey and its visual references really appealed. I found myself able to connect with myself in a way I hadn't thought made sense, and yet after the third session I had a sense of empowerment and agency that has stayed with me ever since.”

    Nina

  • "When I met Jo, I had long term problems with severe chemical sensitivity to inhaled chemicals so much so that I had to run many air purifiers in my home. I was unable to visit places and I could not cope with anyone visiting my home wearing perfume or workers using strong-smelling products. Since working with Jo my level of sensitivity to chemicals has reduced considerably, making my life easier and less complicated as my reaction is much less severe. Sometimes I do not even notice some chemicals so I don’t react at all which is a great improvement.”

    Marion

  • "Since working with Jo I am less tired and I have not had any episodes of chronic fatigue. Life is easier and more fun and I am less worried. I am grateful for her help which has enabled me to move forward."
