Empower yourself - practical, learnable skills
Most of us long for harmony in our relationships, yet so often the way we express ourselves and listen to each other leads to misunderstanding, frustration and disconnection.
This course will introduce you to ways of communicating and listening based on “Nonviolent Communication”, also known as “Compassionate Communication” - the revolutionary work of Dr Marshall Rosenberg.
This practical, learnable process has been proven to contribute to greater understanding, connection and harmony in any relationship- whether with your family and friends, colleagues or intimate partner, and of course – yourself.
This training is for you if you:

"My partner and I took Paulette's online course and even though only after the second session, I found it surprisingly profound and very enlightening. As a physical therapist, I encountered a female patient with a complex medical negligence past which resulted in a radical mastectomy and a full hysterectomy. I already understood she was noticeably angry about it in general and when I accidentally caused her pain around her surgical site, she erupted in shock, tears and anger towards me and also her past. As I knew she had been disappointed by every Male practitioner, doctor, surgeon, oncologist and therapist involved in her case previously I was acutely aware of the emotional backlog I had accidentally invited forth. Paulette's words and teachings from the lesson the night before became instantly relevant. I reflected back to her for about half an hour naming the emotions I witness and reflection my appreciation of what that must have been like for her.
Even if I was off with my reflections we were both able to move through what seemed like an immense amount of suppressed grief that seemed buried under a huge amount of anger and blame. She later mentioned that she had never been able to express her deepest emotions and process much of the pain and what seemed at first like a trainwreck turned out to be one of the most tender moments of healing I had witnessed this year.
Paulette was able to impress upon me the importance of reflecting emotions as a listener and not trying to change anything for the person speaking and that little piece turned out to be a vital and missing part of this woman's journey.
Looking forward to learning more! "

"I have certainly applied NVC in my life since the training, I find it very hard to be honest! But, I am continuing to understand and explore human relating and work with the principals to heal my relationship with Self and others! The training has been invaluable.
Paulette, I wanted to thank you again for supporting me to access the training in a way that was feasible for me. If you had not been so kind and generous, I would not have had the opportunity." Jennah A

Testimonial:
"I highly recommend Paulette as a facilitator of the Foundation course of NVC. She provided a very safe and nurturing space, explained all the NVC principles very clearly and provided wonderful experiential processes for us to practise the principles so we could really learn and embody them. I came out of the two days with a very thorough and solid understanding of the principles of NVC and the confidence to go out into the world and begin to use them. I look forward to continuing ongoing NVC training and support from Paulette and feel so excited at how much my life is going to blossom as I begin to master these skills. Thanks so much for all your love Paulette and for your wisdom, your willingness to share and your big heart!"

"I had an amazing time during the training. It went beyond my initial expectations" Paulette was very supportive in helping me go through a difficult personal situation and she gave me practical tools to navigate it.
I am really grateful."

"I loved the size of the group. It felt like there was enough time and ease for all the activities we did.
The course covered many important aspects without feeling crammed. I loved it."

"Paulette, I very much value your keen sense of presence / availability, your passion / enthusiasm and raw honesty in expressing about relationships.
I love the freedom you suggested in having no solution / no quick-fixing of anyone's issues. but to allow people to have their own organic and authentic experience in their own time and space.
I found it enormously helpful to have an experience on the dance floor and to receive real empathy and space and time for my journey. Again feeling that there was enough time for me to process. No-one was rushing me, so I didn't have to either!
Thank you."
