Let go and feel more Freedom.

In a compassionate and safe space, we feel a sense of being empathised with, as Havening Techniques works on the past experiences causing us to feel tension today.

We don't need to feel distress for more than a moment in any session, to neutralise it with an electro-chemical process from this scientifically-developed soothing touch. All while our mind is distracted with verbal guidance; we gently reprocess memories in our subconscious with the negative impacts removed.

Rapid and effective freedom from 'stuck' emotions.

"I cannot begin to explain the release I felt during and after the havening process. I felt lighter and able to move forward with clarity about situations where I once would react to or not be able to process.

There was such a signifcant shift for me both mentally and physically. I felt like years of trauma had left my body instantly in that one session.

Amanda is such a beautiful person so gentle and understanding. I felt so comfortable with her and I would definitely continue to see her for more than one session over time."

Yoga. Create space. Learn to let go. Find peace.

Recently we relocated to Manly, and I was humbled to receive messages like these from regular students of my Yoga for a Koha, Avondale classes.

"...I really enjoyed the way you taught."

"So sad we won’t see u again."

"Will miss you Amanda."

"I'll miss you and sad that you won't be taking yoga. I have enjoyed and appreciated your classes. .. The community in whangaparaoa are lucky to have you and hope you think to continue your yoga teaching journey there."

I'll miss the beautiful people who shared space with me in Yoga for a Koha, and know we'll see each other again. Looking ahead to new local adventures in Yoga.

“We cannot become something we are not, we are already that” - Mayur Karthik, SriSri School of Yoga.

True growth is not about adding.. it is more like shedding -unhelpful layers we can accumulate in life.

I've found both Havening and Yoga can remove these.

At our core, our heart .. we are love. Be love.

Yoga, a science of mind & body to bring stillness, creating space for more good-ness

"Every now and then there is a bit of overwhelm but I feel since I met you .. [first Havening Session] .. I'm able to cope somehow."

"I do feel I'm able to rise above some of the things that were holding me hostage."

"..I feel a little more able to handle emotions."

Client Testimonial:
"Stopping cigarette use and sustaining a smoke-free life; chronic sciatica pain disappearing; internally distancing from past traumas and allowing myself to experience more positive emotions.

These are some the huge changes I’ve witnessed through Havening.

What I like about Havening is that it is safe and non-invasive, and I experience tangible and intangible shifts.

I also feel very peaceful after our sessions, which is wonderful."

This is what I find works so well for me..

I'm better with Yoga .. & .. I'm better walking in Christ.
Life is better walking in Christ .. & .. Life is better with Yoga.

Am I a 'Christian Yogi'?

I don't know, but.. does it beg for a label?
I gave a lot of time to wondering, reflection, meditation and in prayer. And I feel content to say that I've settled into daily, life-long practices in both, which serve my body, heart, mind and spirit well.

I look forward to serving you in wellness ..

Client Testimonial:
"Amanda is an Integrative Havening Practitioner and has helped me with my challenges around old stagnant thoughts and behaviour patterns.
​
She has a generosity of spirit which is so heartwarming. I feel completely safe and cared for when I work with Amanda.

She also brings in her experience and knowledge on Chinese Meridian Systems as well Indian Yogic Traditions. Both are time tested ancient yet modern modalities for longevity, health and wellbeing.

There is gentleness and lightness in the Havening sessions with Amanda, so it also feels easy and fun despite the challenges we are working on.

Amanda, I fully trust your intuitive powers as they are spot on and I like to be guided by you along with my own intuition.

I truly appreciate and value your open being, your sincere kind spirit and attention to the smallest detail, in everything you do - you have that high level of awareness that is palpable and is refreshing.

With this awareness, you become a vehicle for transformation.
Thank you so very much."

Interview with Dr Robin Youngson taking about what Havening is. He was my Certifying mentor and is a wonderful and compassionate Havening Practitioner.

What is Havening? A Doctor Shares How This New “Compassionate Medicine” Tool Works | Woman+ Lots of Kiwi women struggle with anxiety, depression, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, chronic back pain, stress or trauma-related conditions. Doctors usually prescribe medication for all these health issues, which can be appropriate and absolutely required. But there is also a new holistic....

One truly inspiring story ~
Sivananda Baba. A Yoga practitioner, a happy man.
Living past 123 years..

"no Disease, no Desire, no Depression"

Sivananda Baba still living at Varanasi, India....an unique life 125 years old Sivananda Baba is the oldest living man in the world has no Disease, no Desire,no Depression,no Tension,no Problem....Baba does not take Fruit ...

Lovely intentions to repeat with a daily self-haven.

Yoga is much much more than asanas. "Yoga is that perfect balance between the head and the heart."
~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, The Art Of Living, Sri Sri School of Yoga.

See the world through your heart and then you will find that there is so much beauty, love, innocence and good intentions in people.
If we see the same world through the head then we find a lot of cunningness, mistrust and doubts. If you see the world through your heart, it is very different.
But both are needed. You can’t be naïve and see the world only through the glasses of the heart. Sometimes you need to see through the head.
There are some who are stuck in their head and some who are always in an emotional mess. Both are incomplete. Yoga is that perfect balance between the head and the heart.

It is.
One is valuable to find, the other is not really how we are made to be.

Yoga and Meditation (and Prayer) support a quiet mind and open heart. More peace in our mind uses less energy, leaving space for greater dynamism in life.

Havening Touch can also transform our mind state. By moving our autonomic nervous system from sympathetic (fight or flight) reactivity, to parasympathetic (rest & digest), we become able to pause and respond.

When our whole system is more calm it also has greater capacity for self-healing in our own time.

Om Shanti | Peace.

I practice and facilitate some wonderful and transformational methods of self healing. For more time in the present moment, and the experience of greater joy within. I look forward to meeting you wherever you are right now.

Wishing you happy, healthy, beautiful holidays everyone. See you in the new year.

The blue sky is always there, no matter what passes over it.
When our true nature is obscured by temporary events, we need not hold onto these.

Enable your capacity to be.
