"Such grief and sadness was choking me, feeling so close but far from my parents, and spun out by the changes upon us. Yiska Obadia gave me a virtual havening session, a way to work with trauma, so I could receive what was coming up and meet it with physical solace, emotional resilience, and light— and let it transform into something new and accessible. Friends this shit is STAT handy and she is an utter joy. If you are needing this now, reach out to Yiska."

"I am so glad that I made time for Yiska's havening workshop. In 4 short weeks I integrated a new self-care practice into my daily routine that helps me calm down each day and start off the day grounded and more in touch with myself (which helps me show up more as a parent, a spouse and a friend). The group format created a shared accountability. The online classes were a chance to learn and practice the havening technique. I noticed that after each session I had a really wonderful day."
