WHO IT'S FOR

Does this sound like you? 

  • You're navigating upheaval

    Breakups, loss, an international move, a new career, menopause, or coming out: whatever it is, the ground under you has shifted and want help navigating a tough chapter.

  • You want more joy

    You know joy is possible, but why can't you feel more of it, more of the time?  We can work together to settle your nervous system and welcome more joy. 

  • You're healing from something hard

    If you've survived of traumatic experiences, including secondary trauma, we'll work together at a pace your body and mind can integrate.

  • You're an entrepreneur or high performer

    Chronic stress and burnout have caught up with you, and you need tools that help you manage chronic stress and access creativity, energy, and (yes!) joy.

About

Holding space for healing, growth, and joy.

I'm Quinn O'Briant Heller, MFA, MLA, a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner, somatic coach, and yoga teacher. I'm honored to hold space for clients through vulnerability, growth, and healing. My work brings together neuroscience-backed Havening Techniques®, grounded optimism, and a deep respect for what your body already knows. Before becoming a coach, I spent many years inside the world's top companies and earned multiple graduate degrees. I know the fast track from the inside, and today I specialize in helping burned out high performers find ease and joy.

What people say

Kind words from clients & collaborators

“

[I experienced] an awakening of deep fear and sadness that has been too big to feel, and wash of relief and freedom when I felt it could be tolerated and maybe recharged toward greater good and self compassion. I was profoundly moved by my own strength, and how Quinn summoned it.

Jennifer K

“

YES! Work with Quinn. She is kind, confident, and knows her stuff! She creates and holds a brave space for you to move through what ever will come up for you. She has got you and will hold you, energetically, all the way through the process.

“

It's life-changing. Do it for yourself! [I experienced] quick shifts, reduced anxiety and relief.

“

Havening with Quinn helps take the charge off of negative experiences and helps expand our capacity to stay with positive experiences and allow them to create new pathways. It is really helpful if you've recently gone through something emotional, like heartbreak, and want your mind and body to become an ally to your heart.
