About Jem
I am a facilitator and CNVC Certified Trainer. I’ve been practicing NVC for 10 years and became certified in 2022. I live on the West Coast of Ireland, raising my two young children. I practice NVC daily in my parenting and partnership, centering my life around personal growth and healing. I’m dedicated to supporting others on their own journeys of transformation. I work online with individuals and couples, offering coaching and mediation, and I run workshops and retreats in the Spring and Autumn on the West Coast.
About Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
"Nonviolent Communication is based on the principle of Ahimsa — the natural state of compassion when no violence is present in the heart." ~ Marshall Rosenberg, founder of NVC
Nonviolent Communication is a way of being in the world that has the purpose to serve life and to create connection in such a way that everyone’s needs can be met through natural care. Find out more here: CNVC.ORG
