I work with people who care deeply – about their children, their partners, their teams, their communities – and who are tired of living in constant tension, overload, or self-criticism. My focus is helping people build safer, more nourishing relationships: with themselves first, and then with others.
I came to Nonviolent Communication (NVC) through lived necessity. I was raising three children and trying to be “a good mother,” while often feeling overwhelmed, reactive, and alone in the daily intensity. What I found in NVC was not a set of polite phrases, but a way back to honesty and connection, especially in the moments when I wanted to shut down, lash out, or disappear. Over time, NVC became both my personal practice and my professional path.
Today, I teach NVC as a consciousness that is practical, embodied, and grounded in real life. I love supporting people to move from “What’s wrong with me/you?” to “What’s alive here?” and to translate that into clear requests, workable boundaries, repair after conflict, and more choice under stress.
I’m particularly interested in the intersection of NVC with nervous system regulation, trauma-informed perspectives, and the cultural conditions that make empathy harder: speed, productivity pressure, inequality, and the normalization of burnout.
My work lives in several places at once:
-
Training and facilitation for parents, educators, and organizations, especially around conflict, feedback, difficult conversations, and relational culture.
-
Mediation and conflict support, when people want to stay in relationship (in families, partnerships, teams) and need a structure for honesty and repair.
-
1:1 and small-group coaching, where we slow down enough to hear the needs underneath patterns like people-pleasing, anger, freezing, perfectionism, or chronic overwhelm.
-
Spaces for rest and integration, including yoga nidra and practices that help people come back to their bodies—because for many of us, the hardest part isn’t “knowing the model,” it’s staying present when it matters.
A big part of my work is with parents and caregivers, because I see parental burnout as both deeply personal and profoundly systemic. I support parents to move out of shame and into self-connection, to find language for what is happening inside them, and to create more sustainable family ecosystems, especially in neurodivergent households. I also work with educators and professionals who want to bring relational skills into places where stress is high and misunderstanding is frequent.
I’m the creator and organizer of an online conference for parents, “Bliżej potrzeb, bliżej szczęścia”, and I’m committed to making high-quality relational education accessible—without guru language, without moralizing, and without pretending that empathy is easy. I care about clarity, integrity, and humility: naming what I know, what I’m learning, and how I’m accountable.
My aspiration is social as much as personal. I want NVC to become part of our everyday infrastructure: not as a “nice” add-on, but as a practical path out of domination, disconnection, and burnout.
I’m especially drawn to what I call a permaculture of relationships – communities designed for resilience, mutual support, consent, and repair. I want to contribute to cultures where care work is seen, shared, and valued; where power is handled with consciousness; and where people can disagree without dehumanizing one another.
If you work with me, what I want you to know is this: I’m not interested in you performing empathy.
I’m interested in you becoming freer. Free to feel what you feel, to name what you need, to choose your actions with more awareness, and to stay connected to your humanity, even when life is messy.
