The intention to connect with compassion is important, for myself at first and in connecting with you. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) supports this with practical tools and processes for use in daily life and in work situations. And, it is far more than practical tools. NVC can guide you to live your life with pleasure and fulfillment, because you learn what is really important for you (needs) and how to live these. 

You are welcome to experience this in one of my courses, workshops, or private sessions.

Wisdom of the heart

It was a discovery for me that there is a language - Nonviolent Communication - in which words can be given to what is of essential value to me. This brought a deeper connection in gentleness with myself and later with others. By learning to observe my reactions (fight, flight, freeze), this new language made it clear to me that I can always choose how I communicate, from the wisdom of my heart. Thinking-feeling-doing in one line. This brings me inner peace, understanding, compassion and increases the quality in relationships with myself and others.

After studying Social Sciences, I gained 25 years of experience as a trainer in participation, effective leadership, negotiation and conflict management. I have noticed that personal growth and development - in addition to work - provides extra depth. In 2006 I discovered Nonviolent Communication, the language of the heart, which is powerful and dynamic, clear and distinct.

I provide introductory and in-depth training. I also supervise teams and provide individual and relational coaching. In the mediation training, I use my experience as a registered mediator and Neighborhood Mediation project leader and I use the insights of John Kinyon and Ike Lasater.
