3 Day Compassionate Communication Foundation Training
Byron Bay | Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 9-11th January | 9.00–4.30pm
Do you ever feel like you’re doing your best to keep the peace—but end up feeling resentful, shut down, or like you’ve disappeared in the process?
Maybe it’s the same conversations going in circles.
Maybe it’s struggling to ask for what you need—or even to know what that is.
Maybe it’s setting boundaries at work… only to backtrack because it feels too hard or too risky.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
And there’s a different way.
If you’re ready to explore a way of communicating that feels honest, liberating, and caring, this is for you.
You are warmly invited to this three-day training which is thoughtfully structured, comprehensive and unhurried. It will offer space to embody the work, learn with ease, and support meaningful personal and relational change.
It would be great to see you there and we’d love support to get the message out to friends, family, colleagues, groups and neighbours who may be interested.

🌿 Introduction to Compassionate Communication – & what it can do for you
🗓 Brunswick Heads | Saturday 23 August | 1.30–4.30pm
Do you ever feel like you’re doing your best to keep the peace—but end up feeling resentful, shut down, or like you’ve disappeared in the process?
Maybe it’s the same conversations going in circles.
Maybe it’s struggling to ask for what you need—or even to know what that is.
Maybe it’s setting boundaries at work… only to backtrack because it feels too hard or too risky.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
And there’s a different way.

I’m holding this introduction workshop because I love sharing Nonviolent Communication (NVC). It has helped me so much personally, and I see the difference it makes in my clients’ lives every day.
I’d love to see more people learn NVC and experience all the ways it can support healing, clarity, and connection. Honestly, I’d like the whole world to learn it—a world where communication helps us build understanding and respect, so life works better for everyone.
This workshop is an invitation for anyone curious about discovering new things about themselves and new ways to communicate—ones that can genuinely improve your life and relationships.
It’s a chance to explore and play with NVC processes in a space that supports:
💬 Being truly heard
💛 Being seen with kindness
🌱 Growing and learning
🎈 Having fun
🤝 Feeling community and belonging
I’m also excited to expand my local connections and meet others who share this interest.
Alongside the workshop, I offer empathic coaching for anyone wanting deeper, 1:1 support to apply NVC in their own life.
If you’re ready to explore a way of communicating that feels honest, liberating, and deeply human, this is for you.

Efter at have søgt i lang tid, mange steder, efter en bedre måde at kommunikere på og opretholde forbindelse til det essentielle i mennesket på, fandt Ikkevoldelig kommunikation mig.
Jeg har været heldig at modtage en fantastisk empatisk tilstedeværelse på meget vigtige tidspukter i mit liv og har fundet det være utroligt transformerende. Så nu efter at have studeret ikkevoldelig kommunikation (NVC) i flere år, er jeg glad for at kunne tilbyde effektiv empatisk support, kommunikationscoaching og sparringstøtte til andre.

After looking many places over a very long time for a better way to communicate and connect, Nonviolent Communication found me.
I've been fortunate to receive amazing empathic presence at very pivotal moments in my life and have found it to been incredibly transformational. So now having been studying Nonviolent Communication (NVC) for several years, I'm happy to be able to offer effective empathic support, communication coaching and sparring support to others.
