Nonviolent Communication

What is Nonviolent Communication (NVC)?

“a communication framework for speaking & listening from the heart, while being connected to ourselves and with each other, in a way that allows natural compassion to flourish."

Knowing how to communicate effectively, compassionately, and congruently is a highly important skill. Unfortunately, it’s one many people are not modeled or taught.

I help change that, both for organizations and individuals by sharing the framework of Nonviolent Communication (also known as “NVC” or “Compassionate Communication”).

I devoured Marshall Rosenberg’s book and have since completed various courses and trainings to go deeper into the model and bring it to my clients. It has been highly impactful on my life, and on the lives of the clients I serve.

I want to share it with you.
