Justin Bieber reveals he practices ‘Havening technique’ to relieve stress as wife Hailey says ‘it’s basically like a self-soothing thing’
When things go bad for Justin Bieber, he turns to Havening – a massage technique in which he massages his temples and face in a hunched-over posture.
Bieber, 25, used Havening to relax when he felt a bit anxious amid a crowded scene on set as he filmed the video for his single Yummy on Wednesday’s edition of Justin Bieber: Seasons, the docuseries about the pop superstar airing on YouTube Premium.
‘Justin and I developed a routine, in when he feels stressed, that he can use a technique called Havening I was trained in,’ Bieber’s health coach Dr. Buzz Mingin said.

The medical professional continued, ‘Havening is a psychosensory technique that actually raises the feel-good chemicals in your brain on demand.’
Mingin said the routine provides the Canadian recording artist with an option ‘to know what it is he should be doing in the moment he’s feeling stressed.’
The health coach said he and Bieber have ‘a coordinated signal … that lets me know what’s wrong, how he feels, and what he needs.’
The Girlfriend singer’s spouse Hailey Baldwin expounded on the practice and how it varies by person.

In detail: Hailey described Havening as, ‘It’s almost like when you’re a kid and your mom is rubbing your back to sleep and it’s the best feeling in the world? It’s kind of like that, except you’re doing it for yourself’
‘It’s basically like a self-soothing thing: Everybody kind of has their own version of Havening without knowing it,’ the model, 23, said on the online show. ‘It’s like when you’re a little kid and you suck your thumb to soothe yourself. When you’re starting to feel really stressed out or just to keep yourself calm.

On the show, the health coach said that he’s witnessed ‘monumental’ changes and maturity in the Grammy-winner, who’s no longer ‘living in survival mode.’
He added that the idea was ‘to create a structured, organized, predictable environment around’ Bieber so that he could operate at his best.
