Hello
My name is Marijke, your Havening Techniques practitioner.
My journey began in the southern mountains of New Zealand, and took me on a long, colourful, winding road of life experiences, bringing me to you now from Darwin, in the tropical north of Australia.
I am a mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, companion, and friend. I introduce myself in this way because in the culture of my birth country, and this land on which I now stand, it is respectful for me to acknowledge where I come from and who I am connected to, so that we may find a commonality to link us.
Welcome.
In my practice I am deeply attentive to you as in individual and have several decades of experience working with the complexities inherent in, and impacting on. the human spirit. I assist clients to identify what keeps them stuck, and then guide them gently, and safely, to the other side.
With extensive training in how the body and mind respond when under attack (physical and emotional), I bring this to my practice to help youcreate a more resilient and empowered foundation from where your triggers and traumas no longer run your life.
My areas of training, special interest, and experience are particularly suited to clients who struggle with physical aches, pains, and discomfort from injury, through to those with anxiety, depression, and low self-worth that may stem from neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, domestic violence, chronic illness, substance dependency, and rapid lifestyle changes.
The first step on your journey to a balanced state of being was recognising you needed help.
The second is to find a practitioner you feel drawn to, who you can trust to accompany you to the other side of whatever it is you are currently facing.
I am available in Darwin and Melbourne, Australia, or via telehealth worldwide.
