About me
As a child
As a child, I would often spend days on end working on model kits. I was completely absorbed in them. At age 19, I traded those kits for a pair of harmonicas on which I now play the blues.
On the harmonica I can express myself well; without this instrument I find that quite difficult. For me, Nonviolent Communication is also a kind of instrument, allowing me to say what matters to me, and to hear what is going on for others. What a gift.
My education
As a trainer I am certified by the CNVC (Center for Nonviolent Communication). I completed my trainer education at Phoenix in Utrecht. In addition, I am affiliated with Shambhala International as a meditation instructor and teacher.
Background
For four years I lived in a Buddhist centre in France. There I was introduced to the ideas of Marshall Rosenberg. In early 2006 I met him in Switzerland for a ten-day training.
In 2007 I returned to Leiden and gave my first training. I immediately felt at home. To this day I give trainings and coach people. I greatly enjoy experiencing real connection and openness. I am happy to share what I have learned with others.
