Ten years ago, Karoline was dealing with clinical depression. Her therapist recommended Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life book. The book intrigued her so much she read it cover to cover in one sitting. Karoline started practicing with the Heights practice group in Houston, TX. knowing that the greatest benefit would come from practicing.

The process of Nonviolent Communication has guided Karoline’s re-learning in changing habitual thought patterns from tragic to life-serving. As a result, she is enjoying life so much more. Instead of acting on the habits that she learned early in life, Karoline is able to pause, reflect and speak from her heart. This area she has seen the most positive change is in her six year marriage and her growth with her beloved partner. Karoline is happy to serve on the board of Houston NVC as secretary, grounding force and fellow conspirator for peace.
