I am a communication coach, conflict mediator, trainer, Restorative Justice facilitator, speaker and founder of Peaceabl. I help business, organizational and family teams that are stuck in stressful and unproductive exchanges to resolve conflicts, restore their spirit of teamwork and enter a new world of empathic and collaborative communication.
Together we create a calm, respectful, accountable, no-blame environment where everyone is carefully listened to. We discover the core needs that are underlying and fueling the conflict. People reconnect with new understanding, at the heart and humanity level, as they come to understand what each person has experienced. We make new agreements that seed respectful and collaborative relationships moving forward.
In addition to conflict and communication training, I support people in deepening their emotional self care practices. I facilitate support groups for a mental health agency, am a trained facilitator for NYCNVC’s Compassion Course, lead Restorative Justice circles and trainings for spiritual communities, lead Council Circles for women, couples, and organizations, and facilitate workshops in prison for the Alternative to Violence Project.
I am a member of Mediators Beyond Borders International and Rotary World Peace E-Club, and live in Southern California. When I’m not busy working my peace projects, I am getting my nature fix hiking, bodyboarding, dancing, retreating, circling, meditating and enjoying time with family and friends.
