“ Approximately one year ago we sought Aya’s help when we found ourselves unable to speak with each other about many essential subjects. This was wreaking havoc in our marriage and we were on the verge of breaking up. The tensions and arguments between us were seriously affecting our children, too. As we sat with Aya, partnered with Peter Cohen, they skillfully helped us establish the safety we needed to explore and express our needs. Aya’s amazing insight and ability to see and express the deeper layers of emotions and needs was pivotal to the freedom and full expression we experienced. We now make extensive use of many of the tools learned in those sessions to communicate and dissolve many volatile situations that would have easily lead to explosive conflict before. Our ability to handle difficult interactions with our children has dramatically increased as well, as a result. We also continue to learn from her in our practice group. We look forward to more time with Aya as an NVC trainer/facilitator, and as a dear and loving friend. The one thing we’d like to find a way to express (and didn’t…) is just her uniqueness. ”
