Testimonials

“I recently took one of Terri Harmon’s NVC classes and I found it very enriching. She is a wonderful teacher, who blends her deep understanding of the material with compassion and humor. I would highly recommend this course to all individuals who wish to deepen their communication abilities to bring more ‘soul awareness’ into their relationships with others and themselves. I believe that all our children are longing for us to gain these new skills to be more ‘heart centered’ in our contact with them and all us all to be more authentic with each other.”

“Terri Harmon has been invaluable to me as both a mediator and a teacher of non-violent communication. In mediation, she helped me resolve a difficult situation with my child’s school. In the process, both sides were heard and better understanding was the result. The non-violent communication has helped me learn how to communication my feelings in a way that is not threatening to whomever I am speaking them to. This has led to more satisfying relationships and more peace of mind. Terri has a clear and easy way of teaching the material that helps you incorporate the material into everyday life situations.”

“My ex-husband and I worked with Terri Harmon for a month in mediation. Our situation was very difficult, and her facilitation has been completely successful and transformative. Terri’s mediation work models a process called Non-Violent Communication. It has been so positive that my ex-husband and I went deeper than just working out agreements on our daughter’s behalf. We explored the breakdown of our communication and how to find new strategies to break the old patterns.

“I can’t say enough about the benefits of working with Terri. I recommend her highly, before starting litigation if the situation is primarily a communication breakdown. My ex-husband and I both wish we had known about this sooner – it would have saved us tremendous heartache, stress, time and money.”
