" I just wanted to let you know that I had the most fabulous time with you and the group doing the NVC Foundation Course.  I really appreciated your tremendous skill and wisdom as a teacher and your humour and gentleness.  I'd been through a rough time over the past couple of months which had put a strain on my usually happy relationship.  The next morning after I arrived home my partner said with a big smile on his face 'Not only have you come home from Oxford, you've come home within yourself'; and that is exactly how I felt.  Something very deep was touched in me by your training, deeper than anything I've experienced before and I can't explain it. NVC has to be the most intelligent thing I've come across in decades. I'm so excited about beginning to learn it and looking forward to the next training."

"I wish this was taught at every school in the country."
Probation worker

"The trainer often provided a simple suggestion which took us all on - and usually with a lovely touch of humour which acknowledged what had happened and kept it light. She also demonstrated the use of NVC with clarity and simplicity."
Participant in "Transforming Conflict", a Deepening the Foundation Training

"Fantastic. Real life changing stuff for us both. We're still talking about it loads now and have used it in our lives, with good (if shaky) affect! My kids have responded really well - the simplicity and lack of manipulation in the communications has relaxed them. I'm feeling like a great mum, not perfect but great!"
Foundation Training Participant

"I've just had the longest, easiest and most connected conversation with my partner that I've had in months. Empathy rocks! Thank you so much again."

"My needs for learning, understanding, connection and fun were met."

Participant on Foundation Training

"Thank you for your expertise and dedication to our course. We have all thoroughly appreciated the value of it. So often we sit through stuff we gain little from. This was a real learning opportunity."
