Her intelligence, humour and subtlety of mind are blended with a natural warmth and empathy which enables her to model the principles in her teaching.

She is a mediator and conflict coach with over a decade of training in, and practice of, the skills of Mindful Communication.

He has studied Gestalt psychotherapy and trained with Marshall Rosenberg, the founder of Nonviolent Communication, and has a keen interest in neuroscience and trauma.  His workshops are renowned for their playful, inspiring, and emergent nature, helping people learn and practice from their immediate experience of what is alive.
