If you have a communication problem with someone or if you are not liking the way you talk to yourself, I would love to support you in practically applying communication tools that can transform your conflict into understanding and harmony. Contact me through this website and I would be happy and grateful to speak with you by phone for 15-20 minutes at no charge to discover if it would be a "fit" for us to work together by phone. It brings me great joy to interact via the phone and I look forward to connecting with you. I facilitate a free practice group on the NVCAcademy website(www.NVCAcademy.com ) and have more information there. I offer Matrix Mentoring, a phone-only program with two 1.5 hour group calls/month. I have co-produced an NVC based children's coloring book "Compassionate Underwear (Bear)".
I have learned and practiced with Marshall Rosenberg, completed the BayNVC Yearlong Leadership Program (2002), participated in several NVC Training Institute Retreats, 2 CNVC International Intensive Trainings (IIT), several NVC Dance Floors Trainings, NVC and Abundance Retreat, and attended Mediation Training with John Kinyon and Ike Lasater. I like to continually deepen and improve my skills by learning from others as well as experimenting with new ways to share with others. My intention is to come from a place of "invitation to learning", not "being the expert". I have been offering classes in prisons, jails, and mental health settings, in organizations and with individuals since 2002. I experience deep satisfaction, meaning, purpose, inspiration and hope walking the path of NVC. I have co-produced a 60 minute DVD "Living NVC".
