  • “The Training That Made It Click”

    “I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to somatic modalities generally, and Havening Techniques specifically, than training with Holli and Nicole at Midwest Haven. They're not just skilled trainers; they're genuinely invested in helping you succeed. Their teaching is clear and approachable, and they give the kind of feedback that actually makes you better. Whenever I had questions, I got real, thoughtful answers, not canned responses. I walked away from the training feeling ready to actually use what I'd learned, and that's because of how Holli and Nicole showed up as trainers. 

    The first time I used Havening with a dysregulated client and they said, "I can't believe how much better I feel," the surprise and relief on their face said everything. That's when I truly understood what all the training had been building toward and just how transformational it can be. As a newer therapist, it feels incredible to have this tool in my practice. Havening has fundamentally changed the way I work, giving me an additional pathway to help clients when words aren't enough.” - Colleen Martin, LGSW

  • “Thorough, Accessible, and Immediately Applicable”

    “I wasn't sure what to expect when I signed up for Nicole and Holli's Havening Techniques training. I began the three-day process knowing next to nothing about Havening, and I left with a comprehensive understanding of why and how it works. I even passed a neuroscience exam after the training, yet I struggled to pass high school science classes! Nicole and Holli did an excellent job of explaining Havening Techniques in a thorough yet accessible way, and I was able to immediately integrate this gentle modality into my therapeutic work. In just a few short months, Havening Techniques has already helped my clients heal, and I know it will have ripple effects of healing for years to come. This training was well worth it!” - Nicole Borneman, Pre-Licensed Provider

  • “Wonderful Trainers Who Keep You Engaged”

    "I highly recommend the Havening training provided by Nicole Carreon & Holli Engelhart. The training was organized, timely, interesting and very experiential. Both Nicole & Holli Havening are wonderful trainers! They kept the information flowing all while keeping the group engaged. Both are highly knowledgeable in all things Havening. Their style of presenting the material made the information appealing and interesting. It was great to have trainers who are excited about Havening Therapy!" - Karin Carver-Regan, LMFT

  • “Within Minutes, I Knew It Would Benefit My Practice”

    "The Havening training was amazing! Learning from the trainers, Nicole and Holli, was so fun! It was an interactive, very informative training with lots of time to practice and ask questions. I highly recommend this training for anyone who is a trauma-trained therapist… Within the first five minutes of the training, I knew it was going to benefit my practice!"— Mel Vinton, LMFT, Owner, Invigorate Life Counseling, MN
