Most clinicians are naturally skeptical of new modalities-and that’s not only understandable, it’s healthy!
Skepticism reflects clinical integrity. It shows a commitment to evidence, ethics, and protecting the people we serve. We appreciate that deeply. Havening Techniques® often invite curiosity, questions, and a desire to understand the neuroscience behind the work. That’s exactly the kind of thoughtful engagement we value. When clinicians approach this modality with both openness and discernment, they tend to discover what we’ve seen again and again- meaningful shifts, nervous-system-based change, and clients who feel more regulated, empowered, and safe, we honor the clinicians who take the time to explore, question, and truly understand the method because that’s how high-quality, trauma informed care grows!

In heartfelt solidarity with our community — our neighbors, friends, and families — Midwest Haven stands with Minnesota’s Day of Truth and Freedom on January 23rd. The events unfolding across Minnesota have touched the lives of so many, leaving a deep imprint on our bodies, hearts, and minds.

For our colleagues and friends living outside of Minnesota/United States- what is transpiring here goes beyond what is being propagandized as “protection” and/or “targeting only the dangerous people”. The reality is this is purely an act of terrorizing. The real agenda is to take away our most cherished asset- our sense of SAFETY. And it is unbelievable.
This is not affecting only one group — it has affected all Minnesotans and all walks of life. Particularly our youngest Minnesotan’s- children who don’t understand why school is being called off or why there’s disruption in our neighborhoods …or even worse; why their family member was taken away.

But we are connected as neighbors, as community members, and as people who cherish one another. We are moved by the growing solidarity and the way individuals and communities are showing up for each other during this difficult time. We know this work, this struggle, this fight for truth, justice, and dignity is hard — it weighs heavily on all of us.

As we stand together, let us hold one another with kindness, patience, and unwavering commitment to justice and belonging.
We ❤️ ALL Minnesotans!!

Havening Techniques®—and self-Havening—are just as effective through telehealth because the body holds the healing. Guided by a trained provider, clients can regulate their nervous system, create safety, and experience real shifts, all from the comfort of their own space.

Havening Techniques help regulate the nervous system by gently signaling safety to the brain, allowing the stress response to settle—when the body is calm, cognitive clarity increases, insights deepen, and new perspectives become accessible.

Havening Techniques®- the most versatile modality- targets trauma and builds resilience. It can do BOTH!!
