Louise’s expertise in Havening Techniques, and results gained are attracting increasingly diverse clients. From young students who may be struggling in School or University, to people of middle and older ages whose lives have been limited by PTSD and long held complex trauma and First Responders.

Havening opens up the ability to work disclosure or content free in situations that are often too difficult to put into words.

Training and Support:
Louise is one of the first six Certified Havening Trainers to have been appointed worldwide.  She enjoys the adventure and challenge of bringing Havening to a wider audience. The 2 day authorised Face to Face Havening Training sessions, prior to  the challenges of Covid 19 have been supported by a small group of Certified and most experienced Haveners.  Havening Training is now very effectively  developed and supported via Zoom.

Louise and her husband and daughter (a.k.a. The Carmi Army)  initiated Havening Australia in 2014- this has led to regular visits to the Continent and introducing Havening to  a whole cohort of experienced practitioners. By 2020 Louise and co. have supported the identification of new Trainers in Australia to carry Havening forwards .

She has also presented and supported trainings in the UK, , Dublin Ireland,  New York USA, and Norway.

Since late 2016 Louise and the London Group members introduced an additional learning opportunity attached to the  regular 2 day training.  This third day  'Integration Day' extends the opportunity to practice the variety of Havening Techniques, in a safe place, promoting confidence and supporting integration within the student's existing skill set.

Dr Paul McKenna has been exceptional in promoting Havening Techniques to his world wide audience  via the media, and we are privileged that he  attends the London Group Special Events  to demonstrate his skills to our group. 

Please see www.louisecarmi.com for information and future training events.

London  Havening Practise Group:  - attendees from all over the UK and beyond !

Since June 2014 Louise has had an ongoing commitment to the support and development of emerging Haveners post their 2 day Training.  This successful and lively Practise Group  was initiated in London with the support of some of the first certified Haveners / Trainers who have been instrumental in the development of Havening. The goup ( prior to C-19) met regularly in Central London - it will be  now continuing virtually.

Our participants come from far and wide, to network, share practise and skills, continue learning and of course have some fun. 

Louise has been supported  by her husband Dr Michael Carmi, former Professor of Primary Care and GP Educationalist, and her Certified Practitioner/ Acupuncturist daughter Debi Carmi  both of whom attended the inital Havening Training in London, with Dr Ronald Ruden in London in 2013 and were partners in the Australia evolution.

Emetophobia (causing absence from university)

I'm not scared of being sick anymore! Well, I haven't felt sick since we met, but I'm not bringing it upon myself anymore, which was the main thing! I've also not been feeling so anxious, which is another positive! In our session I remember you saying that 'they were just thoughts', which really stuck, as my thoughts are just thoughts and are not reality, so the negative ones I might as well ignore. I have also been doing some of the self-havening, since it seems to relax me almost instantaneously. We have had a problem with mice on my floor the past week as well, and a few of the girls who had mice in their room were scared to go back in (which is understandable). I showed them the self-havening leaflet and we all did it together, which was very funny but it was also very beneficial, and we were all laughing about how weird it actually was! Thank you again!

Positive Transformations

Once again, thank you so much for helping me change life's course to a better, emotionally healthier and happier direction.
Havening has made a huge impact on my life- from a lost girl with dreams but without the means to get there, hampered with self doubt, negativity and much lack of confidence, Havening has given me the tools to achieve a positive, happier state of being with total self belief, enabling new opportunities to be seized and acted upon. In such little time my life has changed dramatically. This is the most important and significant positive transformation of my life. Thank you again so very, very much.

Panic Attacks

I first saw Louise for NLP sessions in 2012. She helped me cope with a very stressful situation at home in which I was having panic attacks and I felt I couldn't cope any more!!

The treatment gave me strength and I was able to deal with my life.
I've had a few follow up sessions using NLP and Havening in the past year and feel like a new person who sees life through a different perspective.

I have become very interested in Havening and NLP myself since being treated. It has changed my life . I have recently attended an NLP seminar with Paul McKenna and Richard Bandler.

Grief / Distress

I first met Louise 21 years ago when my baby died of cot death syndrome and had a lot of support from her.
In the past 2 years I have faced difficult personal situations that have resulted in me re-living some of the previous traumatic events in my life. I asked Louise for help.
I had one afternoon session of Havening and found it amazing that I could let go of the turmoil in my head. It helped me feel much more calm and able to cope. It is hard to explain how it works – it just does!

Chronic Pain

I went to see Louise for Havening, primarily to help with c pain, and it soon became apparent that I would not only benefit in this area , but would gain so much more from the sessions. My Rheumatologist diagnosed Psoriatic Arthritis which began about 10 years ago. Within only 3 sessions of Havening I found I suddenly had tools to help with managing the pain, which led to me halving my pain medication and sometimes being pain and medication free.
The Havening created a wonderful sense of relaxation and calm. Additionally it made a significant difference to stress and anxiety levels, helping with confidence and crucially allowing me to move forward many areas of my life. I would like to say Thank you so much to Louise for the Havening treatments, help, support and advice. I am very grateful for how this has helped me so far and I'm sure it will continue to do so in the future, thank you.

Frog Phobia

I know this may sound strange. I had a severe frog phobia for about 50 years. This has affected me to such an extent that I was hypervigilant when going out into anywhere I may see a frog and especially in my huge garden. If was not only outside the house : if I was watching a TV programme and a stream or pond appeared, I had to immediately change channels or switch off , in fear of seeing a frog.

I had one session of Havening with Louise Carmi in November 2013 and I could not believe how something so simple could work so quickly. My fear of frogs has gone.

In May 2014 I moved to my dream house, which has a stream running through the garden. I saw a big fat frog in a nearby road this week, and I did not run away screaming !

Thank you Louise.

Stress / Confidence

I went to see Louise Carmi about a year ago when I was undergoing family changes which were extremely stressful. I found the sessions helpful in significantly reducing my stress and anxiety, which prior to our initial meeting were unbearable. They also increased my confidence, so that I was able to deal with the situations that arose and the constant fear of threat. Her work enabled me to realise that we have a choice about the life we lead and gave me the opportunity to say 'no' when negative thoughts and actions attempt to dominate day to day life. I am so thankful for the support she gave me. I am certain that my circumstances would have spiralled out of control had Louise not taught me how to regain my inner strength, voice and empowerment.
