About H Haven
Hi I'm Holly
Founder of H Haven Wellness.
I’m a proud Nebraskan with a deep passion for wellness and healing. With 15 years of experience as a nurse, and now as a nurse practitioner, I've dedicated my career to caring for others. My personal journey toward health and healing has shown me that true harmony exists between western medicine and holistic practices. It's essential to nurture the mind, body, and soul with a holistic approach. My mission is to introduce and teach these modalities so you don’t just feel well, but also thrive and grow in life. Through a variety of events and wellness practices, you'll discover what resonates with you and what helps you flourish.
By curating different events with a spectrum of wellness modalities, you will find what you connect with and what works for you.
Healing through Plant Medicine: CACAO
What is Cacao
- Cacao is the purest form of hand-processed, organic chocolate, sourced from Central and South America.
- During ceremony, the cacao is chopped and melted into a warm drink to be sipped mindfully.
- Cacao is a gentle plant medicine (NOT hallucinogenic) that opens the heart and fosters feelings of love, gratitude, clarity, and connection.
- This ceremonial cacao comes from small farms that cultivate non-hybrid, organic plants with ethical and spiritual practices.
Benefits of Cacao
- Cacao is known for offering a heart-expanding journey, guiding you out of your head and into your heart. Providing a very clear connection to your soul, spirit and purpose.
- This powerful plant medicine helps the mind and body release negative energy such as heartache, guilt, shame, and regret.
- It encourages feelings of gratitude, acceptance, peace, and love while facilitating the release of blocked emotions.
- Cacao also enhances creativity, focus, and leaves you feeling clear, inspired, and uplifted.
Nutritional Benefits
- Rich in Antioxidants and Nutrient Dense: Cacao is loaded with flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants that help protect the body from oxidative stress and inflammation. The flavonoids in cacao can protect our cells from premature destruction. Also rich in Magnesium, Iron and Calcium.
- Heart Health: Flavonoids improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart disease by promoting healthy blood vessels.
- Mood Booster: Cacao contains compounds such as theobromine and phenylethylamine, which stimulate the release of endorphins like oxytocin (the "love hormone") and serotonin (the "feel-good hormone"). These compounds help decrease anxiety, enhance mood, and promote feelings of well-being and love.
Cacao Circle/Ceremony
- The ceremony is a spiritual or meditative experience, typically lasting 1-3 hours, centered around the consumption of ceremonial-grade cacao (think of it as a sacred version of hot chocolate). Depending on the event there is a blend of guided meditation, movement, dance, and breath work, depending on the theme.
- Come dressed in comfortable clothing, and feel free to bring your own yoga mat or blanket for added comfort during the ceremony. Along with a water bottle.
Contraindications of Cacao
- Cacao is a stimulant with some potential side effects and contraindications when consuming ceremonial dose.
- Make sure to drink slowly. Some people may experience symptoms such as light-headed, sweaty palms, nausea. If this happens slow down, drink water, take a seat. Symptoms will subsides
- Anti-Depressants- If you are on MAOI based anti-depressant the tyramine in chocolate/cacao is a larger dose and so Chocolate/Cacao are generally not recommended. If you are on SSRI the large amount of tryptophan in cacao may cause symptoms of "serotonin syndrome". If you are on SSRI or other mental health medication you should take 1/2 the cacao dose and as always consult with your physician.
- Serious Heart Conditions - Theobromine in cacao can causes an increase in heart rate and decrease in blood pressure. Please consult with you physician prior to consumption
- Pregnancy & Breast feeding Cacao is a stimulant like coffee/tea Please consult with your physician prior to use.
Wellness with Meditation: Heart Coherence
What is Heart Coherence

Why is Heart Coherence Important
Heart coherence is a scientifically support phenomenon where the heart's rhythm becomes organized, typically through breathing and emotional techniques, leading to better emotional, cognitive and physical health.
Your heart's influence on the body
The heart is not just a passive organ responsible for pumping blood; it plays an active role in influencing brain function, Hormone release, and overall health. Through the intrinsic nervous system and communication pathways, such as the vagus nerve, the heart sends vital signals to the brain that impact emotional states, cognitive function, and physical well-being.
