My Personal Journey to Healing
A little about me… I was born and raised in Gaborone, Botswana, as a 'third culture kid' with parents from both the United States and Zimbabwe. After spending high school in South Africa and college in the States, I developed a deep love for meeting new people and experiencing different cultures – something that now enriches how I understand and support each client's unique healing path.
Before I fully understood my own healing capacity, I struggled with various health concerns throughout my life – Tourette Syndrome being the most challenging, along with OCD, anxiety, and depression. I also experienced various traumas. As anyone who has gone through similar challenges will know, it's not easy. Yet these experiences became the foundation for my genuine understanding of what healing truly means.
I stumbled upon hypnotherapy and made the decision to become a certified Hypnotherapist – a choice that quite literally transformed my life. Naturally, I discovered a passion and talent I never knew existed, and experienced firsthand how incredible the mind's healing capacity really is.
Today, I'm managing the Tourette Syndrome 100% with hypnotherapy, and I've never felt so free and confident. This extraordinary healing showed me what becomes possible when someone commits to recovery and trusts their healing decision.
Discovering the Power of Multiple Healing Approaches
Through my training, I was introduced to both Havening Techniques and NLP. Again, I experienced firsthand the remarkable effectiveness of these therapies. Interestingly, I found a particular love for Havening Techniques because of its gentle yet powerful ability to help clients heal from the toughest events of their lives.
Fortunately, my personal healing journey means I can offer you something beyond just professional training – I offer the authentic understanding that comes from someone who has chosen healing repeatedly and knows the courage it takes to step into transformation.

Long-held guilt
“My havening experience was liberating and helped me free myself of long-held guilt surrounding my mother’s illnesses and my sister’s sacrifices in my absence. It was an incredible journey.”— Anonymous
Abuse Survivor
“I experienced a havening session with Em today and as an abuse survivor I was initially nervous about sharing certain information about a particular memory that has stayed in my head. I was aware that this memory was the cause of my feeling triggered on times. I had planned on using a less intense memory of a recent trigger but Em was kind and caring and was able to encourage me to go to the root cause. I felt completely at ease with her and I was blown away at how effective the havening was. I was able to see changes in my perception of the memory within moments and I was clearly able to visualise and also feel the sensation changes within my body. I felt so happy by the end of it that I was giggling. The experience was excellent and I know in my heart that Em is already the type of therapist I would recommend to anyone. She has a gentle manner and explains the process very well. It is clear that she has excellent knowledge of trauma and the neuroscience behind how our body responds to it. I highly recommend havening with Em.”— Melissa
