About Gudrun Wiedemann


I have a background in Nursing and IT & Business Admin.

In 2003 I returned to my calling to work in healthcare, yet I started working in the field of complementary Health.
Initially I had trained in NLP & Stress Management and later in BodyTalk Systems. Whilst both modalities have a lot to offer, I felt something was missing and I started exploring and training in other modalities.

The more I learnt about the evolving advances in understanding and treating stress and trauma, everything made more sense. It helped me to refine my understanding of the complexity of how stress and trauma affect our body-mind and how we perceive life.

Along the way I trained in the Amnanda Process, a gentle restorative Ayurvedic oil treatment, offering nourishing touch without the objective to manipulate the body. I fell in love with this work. I came to recognise that our true first language is touch. - Safe and nurturing touch, and that touch has tremendous potential in supporting our healing, health and overall wellbeing. 

In 2018 I came across Havening. Initially I just dismissed it as it sounded way too simple to have such a powerful positive impact. Yet, it kept on coming up in my life, and eventually I explored it more and decided to train in Havening. I liked the simplicity of utilizing soothing touch, to “hack” the nervous system to “reset” the safekeeping system of the body. I was impressed by the effectiveness and speed of how Havening can help to resolve long-standing and deep-seated issues in relatively little time, especially in the context of symptoms that fall under the umbrella of PTSD/C-PTSD.  
After training as a Havening Practitioner, I restructured my practice to offer the best I can to my clients. - Amnanda Process and Havening Techniques sessions.

More about me:
I am German, I have lived a few years in New York and moved to the UK in 1995.

- smovey (Movement) Coach

I hold a Certificate of Trauma Informed Coach and am fully insured for my practice.

My own healing journey from early life trauma has given me insight into the challenges many clients face – to find meaningful help. – Often different stages of recovery call for different approaches. I have experienced how unintegrated trauma affects one’s day-to-day life.  My own search led me to explore many modalities along the way, including Inner Child work, Pre and Perinatal work, aspects of Trauma and Attachment work, Somatic Experiencing, TRE, Rosen Method, Grof Holotropic Breathwork, Embodiment Practices, Mindful Living, Conscious Touch, the Wheel of Consent (boundary work).

If you would like to have a chat, so you can meet me, find out more about Havening or Amnanda, to have your questions answered, and see if this feels right for you, please get in touch to arrange a 20-minute free zoom call.
