Meet your teacher

My goal is to help you find words you can actually use when a conversation gets hard. We work with real situations, so you can practice saying what you feel and need without getting lost in blame.

I call this NVC Modernized: straightforward language and practical exercises that make the ideas easier to use in everyday life.

More about me

Readers, listeners & students

In their own words.

It has already made a profound difference in my life. I have a debilitating fear of conflict that has sabotaged my relationships and my ability to work. NVC has been helping me to turn that around drastically.

Michelle C.

The skills he taught me changed how I approach conversations I would have previously avoided, as well as how I teach my clients to improve their communication and deepen their connection.

Laura S.

Listening to your podcast makes me feel hopeful and relieved, because I’ve been needing a way to express myself better. Listening to your examples has helped me to learn the practical application of NVC.

I have found your content to be the most helpful by far, and I’ve since shared it with important people in my life.

Matthew R.

The way you express the NVC concepts is so clear and makes so much sense.

Daniel S.

Your voice is amazing but we also loved your vibe - just laid back, very relatable, down to earth.

Elizabeth B.

I’m also using your podcast now as a self-soothing tool. I find your voice and your general vibe very calming.

Stacy T.

They’ve really helped me to reinforce and digest the NVC techniques and the spirit of NVC. I love how you make the connection with NVC as a spiritual practice, yet are very specific about what is and is not NVC.

Kathy S.

I like how you explain NVC in addition to Marshall Rosenberg. I want to thank you for making your podcast free and sharing what you know and your experiences.
