Havening Techniques Certification and Mentorship Program
Expand Your Vision and Change the World
with Healing in Your Hands
Whether you are looking to elevate your health and wellness practice or desire to build resiliency in your own life and with those you care about, the Havening Training and Certification/Mentorship Program offers you options with
support, guidance, and community.
WHAT IS HAVENING?
Havening is a neuroscience-based modality that is part of the field of Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM). This nurturing, self-regulating, self-soothing tool can be used for everyday upsets as a coping skill and to help build resiliency. Havening can also help remove emotional memories, upsetting life events, and negative effects. This modality is designed to positively alter your thoughts, moods, and behaviors with rapid response. By using the Havening Touch® and positive thoughts/pleasant distractions, your brain enters a slow and relaxing Delta Wave State. Your brain releases the "happy chemicals", oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, and GABA sending signals to your Amygdala, "I am safe".
Havening differs from other approaches because it is designed to permanently change the brain and de-encode traumatic events. What once caused discomfort, upset, or even trauma, can be viewed differently. This creates the space for clarity, confidence, calm, and safety.
WHO IS HILARY?
Hilary Russo is a Certified Havening Techniques Practitioner. She is one of the first 150 to be certified in the US of only 1000 globally. Hilary studied directly and in person with the co-developing doctors, Dr. Ron and Steve Ruden who have called her "The Pioneer Practitioner" for her dedication and devotion to the field of Havening and emotional well-being education. Hilary is also an award-winning professor, presenter, and holistic health practitioner. Her ability to engage and create a safe space for learning is why she was one of the practitioners chosen as a Havening Trainer by the Doctors and Havening HQ.

What Students Are Sharing About Training with Hilary
"I was so impressed after having a Havening session with Hilary that I decided to become a practitioner! Fortunately, Hilary is now an instructor, so I was able to get my training under her, which was incredible. I'm so excited to start on my Havening journey and add this modality to my Health Coaching practice.
Thank you, Hilary!!"

"Hilary is an exceptional Havening practitioner and trainer. Her combination of presentation skills and her depth of knowledge in holistic health and Havening is what sets her apart from anyone else in her field. She made our training session really fun, adding humor and creating a small community that felt safe.
If you have the opportunity to work with Hilary as a client, or student in practitioner training,
consider yourself lucky!!!"
