Let's cultivate robust communication skills that transform romantic relationships, marriages, and parent/child dynamics and family systems for the better forever. Together, we'll clear the clutter that may have been “swept under the rug,” restoring intimacy, trust, and co-creating win/win relationships as we establish new Compassionate Communication habits into your way of navigating life. Embark on a journey to lasting love and harmonious connections! I am a mother, artist, certified Nonviolent Communication (NVC) trainer, mediator, relationship coach, and sex and intimacy educator who specializes in supporting people to apply all the principles of NVC, including the nuances, to their romantic and family relationships. In addition to supporting marriages to thrive, I have both first hand and coaching experience in many issues surrounding divorce such as improving co-parenting relations, working with step-parents, "parental alienation," and mental and emotional healing post-divorce. I support my clients to enter into the empowered state of “soul coherence;” a way of living which is deeply aligned with one’s core values and authentic self-expression while living in compassionate flow with the world around them. NVC has been core to my life since 2006. My work is client-centered, always in service to what is most alive in you. While my mediation work follows a basic mediation flow in support of both people expressing honestly and listening empathetically, my one-on-one coaching work includes a variety of personal and relationship growth tools including NVC, internal mediation, journaling practices, compassionate inquiry, role-play dialogues, inner child work, meditation, breath work, use of affirmations and more. I am the creator of [*Love Smart Cards*](http://www.LoveSmartCards.com), an educational and practical application tool that aids in the rapid learning of the basic principles in NVC, and development of emotional intelligence skills such as empathy, gratitude, conflict resolution and character cultivation. I offer online courses and low-cost introductory sessions to anyone who wishes to experience immediate support and ask questions to determine if our working together is the right fit. Your path to thriving connections starts now. Reach out, and let's build a foundation that transforms every aspect of your life. **[Apply for a Liberating Love Strategy Session](https://info.katrinavaillancourt.com/liberatinglove).** ### Related - [ **Love Smart Kid's Print-and-Play Cards & Complete Guidebook** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/love-smart-kids-print-and-play-cards-complete-guidebook) - [ **Love Shines Through (Short Story PDF)** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/love-shines-through-short-story-pdf) - [ **Love Smart At Home** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/love-smart-at-home) - [ **Pathways to Liberation: 64 Skill Self-Assessment Guide to Living Compassionately** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/pathways-to-liberation-64-skill-self-assessment-guide-to-living-compassionately) - [ **Love Smart Heart-Centered Communication Cards with Complete Guidebook** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/love-smart-heart-centered-communication-cards-with-guidebook) - [ **Love Smart Cards Complete Guidebook (PDF)** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/love-smart-cards-complete-guidebook-pdf) Share this page: - [](mailto:?body=Hi%20check%20out%20this%20trainer%21&subject=Check%20out%20this%20Certified%20Trainer%20with%20the%20Center%20for%20Nonviolent%20Communication%21) - [](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fkatrina-vaillancourt "Share on Facebook") - [](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fkatrina-vaillancourt "Share on Whatsapp") - [](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fkatrina-vaillancourt&text= "Share on Twitter") - [](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fkatrina-vaillancourt "Share on Linkedin") - [](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fkatrina-vaillancourt "share on Pinterest") ### TRAINING FOCUS: - Conflict Resolution - Counseling & Coaching - Mind-Body-Spirit - Parenting & Family [ Trainer's Website ](https://www.lovesmartcards.com/) The one-word solution to all the world's problems is compassion. ~Mata Amritanandamayi [ LINKEDIN PROFILE ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/katrina-vaillancourt-44996786/) # Contact Katrina Vaillancourt First name \* Last name \* Email Address \* Country \* United States Your Message \* Turnstile \* ![](https://www.cnvc.org/templates/yootheme/assets/images/consent_placeholder_map.svg) ![](https://www.cnvc.org/templates/yootheme/assets/images/consent_icon_openstreetmap.svg)OpenStreetMap service required to load this map. ![](https://www.cnvc.org/templates/yootheme/assets/images/consent_icon_openstreetmap.svg)OpenStreetMap service required to load this map.
