Meet Lynn
Certified Havening Techniques® Trainer and Practitioner
Offering a calm, supportive space for
healing, learning, and real integration
Hi, I’m Lynn Demers—an internationally certified Havening Techniques® Trainer and Practitioner, and a Coach based in Canada.
Before Havening, I spent decades as a sculptor, learning the patience of gentle hands and the wisdom of working layer by layer. Stone teaches steadiness. It asks for respect, attentiveness, and a willingness not to force what isn’t ready.
Over time, that way of working became a way of being. It shaped how I hold space with people: calmly, gently, and with deep trust in what can emerge when the nervous system feels safe.
When I found Havening Techniques®, it felt like a natural extension of everything I already understood about transformation. The work is practical and neuroscience-informed, yet profoundly human. In my sessions and trainings, I bring both structure and softness—clear steps, real practice, and a steady presence—so learning and healing can integrate in a way that lasts.
This is the foundation of how I teach, mentor, and support the people who choose to work with me.
My Approach
My work is shaped by both art and psychology—gentle, precise, and grounded in what’s practical. Alongside Havening Techniques®, my background includes professional coaching and complementary approaches such as EFT, Matrix Reimprinting, and hypnotherapy. I don’t layer these in to “do more,” but to listen more deeply and meet each person with the right kind of support.
Like sculpting, healing often happens by working patiently with what’s present—softening what’s protective, releasing what no longer serves, and allowing what’s true to emerge in its own time.
That same philosophy also lives at the heart of my forthcoming book, When Courage Whispers.
What Sets My Training Apart
-
Safety first: a calm, steady learning container where you can exhale and focus
-
Practice-based: we build fluency through real experience, not performance
-
Tailored support: sessions are shaped around your learning style and context
-
Integration as we go: you’ll know how to apply Havening in real sessions, not just understand it conceptually
-
Mentorship available: ongoing support as confidence and competence grow
My Guiding Principles
These four principles shape how I teach, mentor, and support the people who train with me.
Awareness
We begin with understanding—what’s being felt, what’s being protected, and what the nervous system is responding to. Awareness creates choice and opens the door to change.
Alignment
Healing becomes steadier when your inner world matches what matters most to you. Alignment supports clarity, authenticity, and forward movement that feels true.
Attunement
Attunement is how safety is built. Through empathy and presence, we create a therapeutic connection where your experience is met with respect, care, and steadiness.
Integration
Insight matters most when it can live in everyday life. Integration helps the shifts from sessions become embodied—woven into thoughts, behaviors, and daily rhythms.
