Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

What is NVC?
NVC (created by Marshall Rosenberg, PhD.) is a simple and powerful practice, rooted in radical honesty and a deep quality of empathy, which aims to connect human beings to their common humanity. It provides clear and accessible tools for connecting with ourselves, and relating to each-other with compassion. It teaches us to connect to the true and loveable essence behind another’s message (no matter how it is expressed), and to express ourselves honestly, beyond our judgments of ourselves or others.
NVC is widely used around the globe as a tool for conflict resolution, mediation, personal development, therapy, coaching and team-building, among others. It is successfully used in organisations, schools, families, justice systems, prisons, and relationships in a myriad of everyday life situations.
About me
I first learned NVC in 2012 and was WOWed to find so many things that simultaneously touched my deepest nature and met me in my deepest longings. The healing magic of empathic listening, the liberation of learning that living in integrity with my values does not have to happen in a binary of right and wrong, and the electric quality of connection that can happen with the power of vulnerable honesty. It is now a most meaningful life’s work to undo the conditioning that has me forgetting, again and again, these most simple and powerful truths, and I love few things more than to share this gift with others. I teach workshops, hold 1-1 sessions, and offer tailored trainings for groups on request. I am a mother to three young kids.
How we can work together
I work with groups and individuals, in private settings and in organisations.
Workshops & Courses:
I organise regular workshops and courses of my own, as well as welcoming requests for them. Please get in touch if you would like to get a group together, or to find out what I have coming up.
One to One Sessions:
My one to one sessions are based on empathic listening. When you share what is on your heart, my intention is to meet you with a deep quality of presence, and in the essence of your humanity. This is one of the most meditative things I know how to do; receiving the gift of another’s humanity is relaxing and joyful for me.
Supported dialogue (mediation):
When two people simply won’t cut it for connected dialogue and mutual understanding, I love to offer a third hEARt, to hear and reflect the beauty in both your messages.
My joy is in the magic of presence. In being a companion for the other person's Now, beyond my own judgments, interpretations, 'insights' or stories.

— Houda
"Meeting Gina was the starting point of a profound and beautiful journey closer to the heart and authenticity. Gina seems to have this natural soul impulse to connect with you in a way that it leads you to magically reveal the treasures of your soul to yourself. I took several 1-1 sessions of empathic listening and non-violent communication with Gina and I discovered a path to liberation I would not have ever imagined. Deep gratitude to you <3"
