Connection and trust are everything. Hilary believes you have the ability to change the story you are telling yourself, rewrite the narrative and put the power of emotional well-being in your own hands so that you can "be kind to your mind".
Trauma-informed, Hilary is one of the first 150 Havening Practitioners to be certified in the US of only 1000 worldwide and she is also a Certified Havening Trainer. She studied directly with the co-developing doctors of Havening who have called her "The Pioneer Practitioner" for her dedication, public presence, and advocacy making mental health and emotional well-being fun and engaging.
Hilary's signature HUG it Out Method® Method blends beautifully with Havening Techniques® to guide you on your self-healing journey to discover the humor, understanding, and gratitude that begins within with clarity, confidence, and calm.
Through her own healing journey, she explored a number of options with hopes of restoring her own health and emotional well-being. It wasn't until she was introduced to Havening during an introductory workshop that her spark and resilience returned. Hilary volunteered for a demo with Havening Techniques founder Dr. Ron Ruden and the rest is history!

Testimonials
My Attitude to Public Speaking Has Transformed
Three Havening sessions with Hilary were all it took to allay my fears of being interviewed Live on Facebook by one of my heroes, who has a global platform. Beyond allaying fears and instilling confidence, the practical advice was also invaluable! My attitude to Public Speaking has transformed, and I totally recommend Hilary as a Havening Techniques Practitioner! "? Margaret P. - UKHilary is a Gifted Healer and Held Space for Me
I was open to Havening because I have already had experiences with alternative healing treatments in my past like reiki. With Havening, Hilary helped me with my stress I was dealing with at the time helping me manage my stress and anxiety levels during our sessions. It was a great addition to my own self-care routines with the current circumstances that I am still working though with improved ease. Hilary is a gifted healer who held space for me with confidentiality with the obstacles I am working through with Havening. She was mindful about punctuality and keeping track of the time during our session which I also really appreciated.?Hilary D. - New York
