I feel great gratitude for meeting Marshall in 1996. At that time I was working at Semmelweis University in Budapest, facilitating workshops on medical psychology, and being a single mother of a half hungarian half ghanaian girl. The Marshall NVC process helped me to transform some of my knowledge into practice. I slowly started to recognize that empathy is not a concept, not a theory, but a presence. 

To be present for me and to be present for what it is, to be present for another being and a radical acceptance of what it is. Since then I followed NVC or NVC followed me, but sure it became part of my life. It became the base of my professional activities and also of my private life.

Being a single mother supported me to raise my daughter hopefully in a healthy way, which means integrity of body, heart, mind, soul and spirit. As I see social changes for me start with me, with my own integrity, with my own inner peace. I like to meet people in one on one situation and also in small groups.

Topics that often show up in those meetings:

• Connection with a partner
• Connection with a child
• Connection with an illness
• Connection with celebration and gratitude or with other words: Be aware of what you have
• Connection with grief and connection with intimacy and sexuality

I have a great curiosity about what we can do together to create a joyful life, a satisfying, fulfilling connection within and without, so how to stay curious and patient.
