What participants say:
"Before taking classes with Rose City NVC, I’d often find myself snapping at my partner over small things—laundry left on the floor or a forgotten grocery item. After learning to separate observations from judgments, and needs from strategies, I could frame my requests as genuine invitations: last Tuesday I said, “Would you be willing to help me sort clothes before dinner tonight?” Instead of defensiveness, we ended up folding side by side and laughing."

"Sandra's classes have improved all my relationships. At work, I used the Observation-Feeling-Need-Request template to address a missed deadline without blame, and my team responded with openness and solutions. Most profoundly, I’ve started speaking kindly to myself—pausing to acknowledge my own needs rather than spiraling into self-criticism—I'm gradually feeling more and more at home in my own skin. Each day, I pause for self-empathy, naming my feelings and needs, and go to sleep feeling more aligned with my own truth."
- Scott Miller
