Participant Success:

“Kathy’s 8 month course is truly a gift. It has changed my life in ways I couldn’t even imagine. Daily I use the skills she taught us from difficult business conversation, to friends and family, to relationships. Kathy herself is extraordinary and authentic in her desire to give to you all her knowledge to help you be the best you, you can be. She is caring and kind and creates a safe space to explore the breakthroughs (and there will be breakthroughs). Before her course I found myself avoiding life in many ways and feeling hurt and disappointment, after her course I feel I not only have the tools, but I embody them. The course is truly transformational.” Lauren 2018

"What has contributed most to my learning is: acceptance, fun, clarity, continuity of the monthly weekends, Kathy’s experience teaching and coaching, working through deeper aspects of NVC such as healing old wounds and the living energy of needs and the presence work.” Rev Nadia Mirren

“My learning was well supported by the safety and atmosphere of trust that Kathy created. In that closely held container of trust and loving support, I became able to relax, acknowledge my fears of exposure, become vulnerable and be able to share in an environment that allowed me to be myself as totally and completely as possible.” Participant 2014 C. V.
