 Student Success: “Kathy’s NVC course has truly helped me to understand myself more and move forward in my life with self-love, curiosity and faith. I have processed a lot of trauma from my past but didn’t have the knowledge and clarity of knowing the need. Knowing and feeling the need (and sometimes the lack) within, has led to big openings and to life bringing those needs to me as I walk towards them. Truly magical, I imagine I’m breaking through the matrix and so willing for all of humanity to experience this!” - Genevieve Busch

“I wanted to let you know how much I got out of the class we just completed on Tuesday. I am really understanding myself in new ways and can see a lot more clearly where things have "gone wrong" in my relationships. I love that I'm developing tangible skills to connect with others the way I've always wanted to. I'm using my new skills in my work as a relationship & life coach and it's hugely helpful! 

I also wanted to let you know that I just had a difficult conversation with my Mom and am extremely pleased with how it went. We had several really hard conversations a few weeks ago, and after our last session I realized I wanted to circle back with her so we could understand each other better/clear the air, because I do really value communication, connection, and our relationship. I spent a few minutes preparing according to the materials we went over on Tuesday and then just let the conversation flow. It was really one of the best conversations I've ever had with my Mom. I'm extremely grateful to you for showing me the way to do this!” - Adele Currin, RN, Transformational Relationship & Life Coach
