Testimonials

What past participants have to say.

Arend-Johan Praats

"Nic supported me on my way to healing. He was my trainer in the basic NVC year training and later he coached me different times in coping with trauma. I feel safe with him as he holds space trusting the authentic dynamic and rhythm of my healing process. I am grateful for having met him and really recommend Nic."

Tally Pachter

"Sarah and Nic are masterful at holding courses and truly listening in to their participants, leading to lots of AH HA moments. The online course has been an excellent way to learn this new connective language - once you learn it you can’t unlearn it!"

Donna Charlton

Director at Charlton PPMS

"I’m writing to show my appreciation and gratitude. A spiritual guide, a conscientious and natural leader, with a heart as big as the world. A course worth the time and effort. Visionary and couldn’t ask for a better teacher."
