"Paulette, thank you for helping me deal with many challenges in my life. Your calm, balanced, sensitive approach has helped me with my marriage, parenting, friendships, decisions and just LIFE." K M. Manly, Sydney
"I have deeply enjoyed and benefited from the workshop. I was most surprised by how calming and soothing compassion and empathy are - and also how much easier it is to meet my need for peace. There is so much that is useful for me.... realising my children's, my partner's and my own need for autonomy; having more tools to find and communicate my own and my family's needs. I wouldn't have changed anything! I felt very grateful for this opportunity. I feel a longing for more parents to take up this wonderful resource." Angela S. Northern NSW
"The Group Coaching sessions provide the opportunity for me to gain an understanding and awareness of my feelings and needs (both met and unmet). I am excited to be enabled to find ways to take action to support myself to integrate change into my life." Sue D. Child Carer
"I really enjoyed the workshop. I enjoyed it more than I have enjoyed this kind of workshop (workplace) in many years. I feel you have a really grounded, deep and compassionate understanding of NVC concepts and their application in real life. I feel inspired by the concepts and I am really looking forward to applying them in my life and work.... Thank you for this great training and I would definitely sign up for any future workshops with Paulette." Renee E. Community Services, Lismore
"I take time out to go to the group sessions because using the NVC teachings helps me understand giving empathy and compassion in my daily life which helps me give meaning, understanding and direction to my personal growth." E. W. Activist
"I have found weekly NVC Group Coaching sessions to be a tremendous benefit to my relationship with my partner and with communication in general. Before NVC I never had the tools to express myself. This meant that either I had no voice or that when things had built up enough I either exploded or imploded. It also helped me to truly listen to others. To change my lifetime of poor communication skills has taken much more than a workshop or reading a book. I needed to live this and make this part of my lifestyle. The only way for this to happen was regular sessions of practical NVC." S.W. Dance Teacher Uki
"My need was to learn the foundational concepts of NVC and have some felt experiences of them so that I would be confident enough to continue practising the method by myself. This need was met. My need for fun and playful learning was met. My need for a safe and supporting space of learning was met. And my need to connect with other open-minded, heart-centred people was met. Ooh and my needs for yummy nutritious food and a stunning view of the ocean were met too." Tahnee W. Burringbar
"I loved the way the training was organised - it was very caring and loving. The content and exercises were all amazing, fun, interactive and I felt fully present and engaged for the whole two days. The weekend was very powerful and I sense the ripple effects already. I have gained confidence in dealing with any situation and I feel very supported in having tools to process everything. Thank you for all your love and care, Paulette. I feel so nurtured and empowered." Barbara C Byron Bay
