DO SOME OF THESE CHALLENGES RESONATE?:
• You’ve left an important conversation thinking, “That didn’t land the way I wanted it to.”
• You enter a conversation with an intention, but you leave feeling more confused, disconnected, or stuck overthinking about what was said.
• When someone you care about shares something vulnerable, you’re unsure how to best be there — do you listen, give advice, or say something else entirely?
• You want to communicate your needs and boundaries more clearly, without guilt or blame.
• You find yourself stuck in familiar communication patterns where nothing truly gets resolved, and you don’t feel better after “talking it out.”
• You crave deeper, more meaningful conversations — without things feeling heavy, awkward, or overly intense.

HOW IT WORKS:
I provide the activities, tools and the space.
You are invited to practice and reflect on the 5 key skills that will elevate any existing or new connection:

1. Taking 100% responsibility for your own feelings & actions.
2. Listening with the intention of genuinely understanding the experience of the other person.
3. Listening for accuracy, emotion and the deepest longing, using your whole body.
4. Speaking your authentic experiences in a way that is unarguable (without blaming the other person), knowing that your perspective is subjective.
5. Making clear, direct requests instead of generalized complaints.

THE APPROACH:

• fun, light-hearted NOT heavy
• involve light movements (walking, stretching, guided breathing, etc.) so that not everything is being intellectualized.
• kind, gentle, compassionate & understanding
• clear, firm & encouraging
