“ About one year ago I started to attend a NVC gathering here in Oregon House, with the aim of learning how to better communicate and connect with other people. Although I knew Aya for many years, it was in this particular context that I got to know her in a much deeper and beautiful way, and to witness with joy her passion and love for this subject. Being one of the leading teachers, she immediately attracted my attention through her openness, courage, and her excellent skills in teaching the art of non-violent communication. Some of the qualities that stand out in a particular way are her capacity for insight, and her deep understanding. She is able to intuitively sense beyond words, to look into people’s hearts with compassion. In her presence, I feel comfortable to become vulnerable and expose my feelings. She has helped me many times in connecting with my own needs and finding a different way of communicating that leads to connection and harmony. I believe she is a very gifted teacher and I consider that her work is very important in helping people connect to each other and themselves harmoniously. Although there may be other good teachers, Aya is unique for me and other people from this community. She is part of our NVC family. I believe there are many other people who can greatly benefit from the gifts she has to offer. I am looking forward to deepening my work under her guidance. It is a privilege to have her here. ”
