Flexible scheduling · Welcoming students worldwide

Havening Techniques Certification Training — One-on-One Practitioner Training provides a structured, experiential pathway to becoming certified in Havening Techniques. Offered from Canada, this private training is delivered through live Zoom sessions, welcoming students worldwide.

Havening Techniques is a neuroscience-informed psychosensory method designed to help reduce emotional distress and support nervous system regulation through touch, distraction, and guided processing.

Why Train in Havening Techniques® with Lynn Demers

A calm, focused container for real fluency

My approach to training is grounded, relational, and experiential. Rather than moving quickly through content, we focus on building confidence and fluency step by step — allowing the learning to integrate naturally as you go.

In a one-on-one environment, you are able to:

  • ask questions openly and in real time

  • practice at your own pace

  • receive personalized feedback and support

  • deepen both conceptual understanding and embodied experience

Many students tell me they feel deeply supported within this container — and that sense of safety allows the learning to land in a meaningful way.

Who This Havening Certification Training Is For

  • This training may be a good fit if you:

    • want to learn Havening Techniques® through individualized guidance

    • prefer a calm, focused learning environment rather than large group settings

    • are a practitioner exploring new trauma-informed tools

    • want to experience Havening directly while learning how to facilitate it

    • value depth, integration, and real-world application

    Students come from a wide range of backgrounds — including therapists, coaches, bodyworkers, healthcare professionals, and individuals pursuing personal development.
