I’ve spent my lifetime and the last 35 years as a therapist, mediator and attorney, author, and Chopra-Certified teacher of meditation, yoga and Ayurveda — wanting to help people learn how to be more compassionate with themselves and each other.

I’ve created books, products, programs and trainings for free and for sale.

I keep revisiting WHY I want to do this, and I’m taken back to the SEEDS of my inspiration.

Seeds of My Inspiration (What are yours?)

Maybe I got the seeds of inspiration when I was a child — listening to my beloved parents yelling at each other in our small house — wishing they could “talk nicer,” and writing them letters pleading with them to learn how.

Perhaps my own painful divorce from my beloved ex-husband helped me create the Compassionate Mediation® process. I wanted to help others avoid the pain and suffering of a typical adversarial divorce, while at the same time learning how to compassionately communicate — even about their desire to leave — as a way to create a more honest, open, and intimate new union together. 

It could be that much of my resilience, persistence and optimism come from surviving 12 surgeries in the last seven years, and several other life challenges that I have faced. I think my spiritual practices and outlooks (when I’m not being ADD or neurotic!) have helped me cope.

The Seeds of my current life’s passions (Compassionate Communication and Compassionate Mediation®) that came from my own personal experience and professional expertise — are some of the things I want to share with you. Please watch the one minute video below.

I’ve created the Compassionate Communication Community to connect with you in an entirely different way.
