Testimonials
"Jane can move people from a place of people being in an argument to finding common ground. Jane doesn’t take sides, and is a true impartial mediator. She is genuine and I felt what she does is more than a job for her, and more like a vocation. Her dedication to the community and to the mission of improving our potential in relationships is very visible. Jane really wants to contribute to society in this way.
We were able to navigate conflicts in a total win-win way. With my kids, ages 8, 7 and sometimes the 4-year-old
joined in, Jane taught them about emotions, and now they’ve grown in their emotional intelligence. Jane helped my kids become more self-aware, to see their importance in a relationship and influence in their surroundings. My kids became more empowered and learned more how to help themselves.
​
NVC lends itself to the idea that everyone matters. With Jane, we didn’t feel like our needs were conflicting. I felt her care and she developed my sense that I matter. I recommended her to my friends with teenage children, who are happy to be working with Jane. If you have children and need a soothing, neutral, yet committed presence, I recommend working with Jane for more self-care, balance, support and skills."
"I thoroughly enjoyed every single yoga class as every class was differently themed and had its own focus areas!
It was all challenging and very interactive. Jane ensured all of us would follow the right postures and breathing techniques for the best outcome.
I have never felt so relieved and energetic with any other form of exercise. All of the exercises/postures helped me realize the constraints in my body, and with practice I was able to be more flexible this relieved a lot of the stress I felt in my muscles. Not just physically but I was also able to focus more mentally which otherwise I would be easily distracted.
I would highly recommend Jane as she is a great instructor and a well-practiced yogi."
"A mutual friend recommended Jane to help with some long-standing issues in my marriage. I knew Jane was trained in NVC, but honestly, this wasn’t a selling point as I’ve had mixed experiences with NVC trainers and practitioners.
Jane is different. She is a master at compassionate listening and creating a space where everyone's feelings and needs are respected. I’m someone who is often more sensitive to others’ perspectives than to my own and I think I learned more about myself through sessions with Jane than through decades of mediation, reading, and reflecting.
While I’m still “in process” with my wife, I feel much clearer, stronger, and more compassionate in my relationship with her because of Jane."
"I cannot say enough great things about Jane. She introduced me to Yoga and now I’m a big fan of it. She came to our company and gave a 60 minutes long Yoga class once a week. I haven’t done Yoga in the past but Jane helped me to get started well. Not only is she knowledgable, helpful, and thorough; she is friendly, warm, and a general joy to be around. In Jane’s class, she included both physical pose practice and spiritual sense sharing, which benefited me from both physical and mental cultivation. She always reminded me to avoid possible injury and regularly checked on me during the practice. It has been over 6 months since I practiced Yoga with Jane, and I can’t wait to learn more about Yoga from her each week."
"I recommended Jane to my company as Yoga instructor for the employees there with the goal of boosting wellness and productivity. Jane is very accommodative about our needs and sensitive about the boundaries within our group, which could be hard as we are a work group. Since Jan 2019, it has really been an enlightening experience seeing Jane with her big smiles and lovely life stories that she shared. We’ve been enjoying the classes where she has been trying to offer a variety of yoga concepts and movements to the company and the surrounding cultures.
Yoga between the Mats is one of the programs she introduces to our group, which we find it particularly precious for the group as we have the opportunities to interact and get to know each other when talking through our needs and values within our comfort level. The yoga program has been one of the most successful culture events in the company. We greatly appreciate the great energy she has been bringing along the way."
