NVC has been with me for over 2 years now. When I first came into contact with it, I was immediately hooked. When I saw old recordings of Marshall Rosenberg, I almost couldn't believe that there was such an appreciative and connecting way of communication. It became clear to me that this would be my path and that I would like to learn and use this kind of communication.

And it quickly became clear that I wanted to pass on this knowledge as a trainer and coach. Because I was able to experience how powerfully and strongly transformative it was for my life. I was also able to experience how much power I have inside me, where I want to keep my boundaries and how I can manage to stay in contact with myself and others even in the most intense situations.

What is particularly important to me in the seminars I give is that lightness and humour also have their place and that we always remind ourselves that we are in a constant learning process. In the process, you occasionally fall on your face, but that's not so bad, because you always learn to get up again, dust yourself off and take it with a smile.

I have been working as a seminar leader and coach since 1991. After studying psychology, I completed numerous trainings and travelled to other cultures, which allowed me to experience a reconnection with ancient knowledge that flows directly from the intelligence of the heart. Thus unfolded a path that combines science and spirituality.

In my encounter with Marshall Rosenberg I met a person who touched me deeply through his ability to communicate from the heart. Learning from him and incorporating the knowledge of NVC into my seminar projects has enriched my life and that of many people.
His legacy is for me an essential contribution that makes lived spirituality possible from moment to moment through the transformation of communication with ourselves and in contact with others.

As a trainer for mindfulness and meditation, my concern is to create a space that promotes the ability for presence and self-love and helps to establish this "heart space" in everyday life as well.

In 2017, I came into contact with NVC for the first time as part of my coaching training. I quickly realised that NVC can support me in dealing with myself and others. Therefore, I have taken this path for myself in the last few years and completed various further training courses at Fokus Empathie. In the process, I have learned that NVC is not about fine words and phrases, but rather about the inner attitude. Since I have been on the NVC path and focus on the inner attitude, I see my counterpart as a person with his or her own needs. I therefore judge others much less and, above all, I no longer hold my counterpart responsible for how I feel. As a result, I experience much more serenity, ease and genuine, sincere connection in my dealings with myself and with others. I am very grateful that I can now contribute as a co-trainer at Fokus Empathie to pass on NVC. If you are curious and would like to know how the inner attitude comes into play within NVC, I would be happy to welcome you to one of our courses.

The NVC has accompanied me for many years in my family environment with my husband, our five children and our growing flock of grandchildren, as well as in my social therapy work with people with disabilities. It helped me again and again to contribute to an interpersonal climate where people perceive each other and interact benevolently. In the process, I learned that listening and reflecting back awakens a transformative power in the other person. I discovered the space for healing that comes through empathy. Today, my focus in NVC is also strongly on my relationship with myself, on inner peace work. It helps me to accept all that life has in store for me and to use it with gratitude, even if it seems burdensome at first. It is a joy for me to make this experience accessible to people and to share it.
