Welcome to Candlelight Haven
A gentle space for healing, presence, and reconnection.
Trauma-informed support incorporating Havening® Techniques
Candlelight Haven offers a calm, trauma-informed space for healing, reflection, and reconnection.
I support individuals navigating trauma, stress, addiction recovery, and emotional overwhelm, using Havening® Techniques alongside compassionate, relational care. This work is grounded in safety, neuroscience, and respect for each person’s pace and story.
Whether you are exploring personal healing, growth, or professional training, you are warmly welcome here.
Ways We Can Work Together
Havening Training Workshops
Trauma-informed, neuroscience-based training for practitioners and helpers.
Candlelight Haven offers professional training in Havening Techniques — a gentle yet powerful approach that supports emotional regulation, healing, and resilience.
These workshops are experiential, reflective, and grounded in safety. You’ll be supported to not only understand the theory behind Havening, but to feel how it works within your own nervous system — so you can offer it to others with confidence, care, and integrity.

Core Havening protocols and when to use them

This moment was captured at the Havening Conference in Auckland, surrounded by practitioners and teachers whose work continues to inspire my own. Being part of this global community reminds me that learning, healing, and growth are never solitary — they happen in relationship.
Learning in Community
At the heart of this work is connection — learning alongside others who share a commitment to healing, curiosity, and growth.
These trainings bring together practitioners from diverse backgrounds, united by a shared intention to support safety, presence, and meaningful change.
I feel grateful to be part of a global Havening community, where learning happens through relationship, reflection, and lived experience..
