TESTIMONIAL
“This is ground-breaking work, steeped in so much elegant compassion.
It is something that every relationship needs: a road-map to repair!”

MY APPROACH
Conscious communication skills infused with yogic philosophy
Radical Empathy
Deepening our capacity for empathy becomes a superpower that enables us to regrow safety, willingness and trust between us and others in scenarios where these essential aspects of healthy relationship have been eroded through hurt and blame.
Courageous Action
To be fulfilled in relationship we need a sense of agency. Learning to identify and meet our unmet needs, hold ourselves with fierce personal integrity, and have courageous conversations creates strong foundations for deeper connection.
Profound Understanding
Learning to see beneath the surface of conflict, beneath the words and actions we usually react to, gives us the power to take action from a profound understanding of the root cause of conflict: the complex hopes, fears and unmet needs in us and in them.
Unwavering Vision
Growing a clear vision of how we want to experience love, understanding and openheartedness enables us to lead ourselves and those we cherish more powerfully towards relationships that feel honest, open and deeply fulfilling.
