Practice Groups:
    It is strongly recommended that you continue your learning in a practice group after an introductory or parenting series.  I have found that replacing habitual language with a new language takes practice and I enjoy providing that support in a safe, nurturing, fun environment.  You can create a group after an introductory class with the participants in the class or join an already existing group.

In a safe environment, gain insight and support with whatever you want to work on - how to self-empathize, how to be compassionate to others, how to speak in a way that can be received, difficult relationships, how you talk to yourself, reducing stress, reaching a goal, etc.
