What is Havening?

Havening is a psychosensory, biofeedback technique based in neuroscience used to create rapid transformation and healing. Havening combines memory and sensory recall, gentle touch, and focused strategies to calm the nervous system. This cutting-edge approach produces delta waves in the brain, which reshapes how stressful memories are stored. This reduces or eliminates their emotional and physical impact on your present experience, releasing you from chronic stress response cycles of reactivity. This gives you greater control, clarity, and peace after just one session!

From reactive to resilient

From tension to transformation

From emotional reactivity to emotional freedom

Havening Technique might be a good fit for you if…

  • You feel chronic “brain fog”

  • Are TIRED of talking about your past experiences

  • You struggle to identify your emotions/feel like you “shouldn’t” have them

  • Have judgements or shame about the emotions you feel (thus suppress them)

  • You WANT to cry but find yourself unable to

  • Have a history of being the one to “keep it together" when everyone else “falls apart.”

  • Find yourself reacting physically and emotionally to memories from long ago ( muscle tightness/upset stomach, shaking, anxiety, etc.) as if they were happening NOW

  • Feel chronically tired or lethargic

  • Frequently find yourself in “analysis paralysis” (indecision)

  • Feel a lot of anxiety about making the “right” choice

  • Joy, happiness, or dreams you once had feel like distant memories

    “After a Havening session with Rachael, it was like a fog was lifted. I didn’t know why I was carrying so much anxiety around parenting, so we worked on that. During the session, a memory came up from two decades ago that I didn’t even realize was connected! We did Havening around the memory, and it has changed my daily experience. I highly recommend!”

    “I heard about Havening and decided to give it a try, not even sure what I wanted to work on. I know I struggle to express or feel my emotions, but I didn’t realize how much was bottled up. After a short chat with Rachael, we identified a nagging emotion and began Havning around it. I was shocked when during our session, I finally become honest about how much growing up in a small town in the Southern US with immigrant parents had affected me. I always felt like I was caught between two cultures, but it was my normal. I didn’t realize I had so much emotion bottled up around it! I can’t believe how much I allowed myself to cry during our session! It was like decades of emotions that were stuck inside were finally able to come to the surface and resolve. I feel a new sense of ownership and validation over my experience.”

    “I decided to try Havening to see if it would help me get to the bottom of my co-dependent tendencies in relationships. It took us a little bit of trial and error, but right before our session ended, a memory from my early childhood popped up. I wouldn’t have even realized that the memory was significant. But while we were doing Havening, I was able to identify the emotion I had subconsciously connected with women. I could see how it played out in nearly all of my romantic relationships. It’s just one part of my healing, but it was a significant, new awareness.”

    “For almost 30 years I was triggered by my mother-in-law. Something about her has always stressed me out! Every time she walked into the room, I would feel my mind go numb and fuzzy, and this tightness would grip my stomach and my shoulders. It was like I was always ready to have to defend myself and it was exhausting. Recently she’s been in our lives more as she has aged. I don’t want to go around feeling like this, so I decided to give Havening a try. Rachael and I targeted early memories around our interactions. I wasn’t sure if it worked. But the next time I saw my mother-in-law, I didn’t feel reactive! I feel like it’s really helped me feel more solid in my self-confidence and my boundaries around her. It’s helped so much!”

    Havening was the answer for me! I don’t know how it works or why, but I’m glad it exists. It drastically reduced the intensity of my memories that were affecting my daily responses. I am pretty aware, but I didn’t even realize how much I was being influenced by my memories until I worked with Reh. I feel so much more grounded! Going into dis-regulation was just my normal response - I didn’t even know it COULD be different. And even once I became aware of what dis-regulation was, I struggled to “control it” when I felt it come on. I couldn’t even take “the pause” because my body was doing it’s own thing.

    Now, I feel so much more in control. I can take “the pause” when a situation is triggering. I can access my center in those moments and act from that place -NOT my subconscious reactions!
