"In our team, the fast pace, lack of hierarchy and high level of personal responsibility has often led to emotional tensions. Ingrid and Silke lovingly accompanied us with their clear, deep and appreciative nature. We are now working more and more mindfully and non-violently with each other and are efficient as never before!"
Micha Bohmeyer // Initiator Mein Grundeinkommen e.V.

“I started NVC because I want more ease and openness in my life. After just a few appointments with Ingrid, I noticed some great changes. As a coach, she manages to create a safe and respectful atmosphere in which I could open well. She saw and reacted lovingly and sensitively to me and my needs. Of particular importance to me is her feminist self-understanding and her knowledge of social power structures. I now dare to empathize with myself and others, for which I am very grateful.”
Lea, Student

“Nonviolent Communication has changed my life. Since coming into contact with it thanks to Ingrid and Silke, NVC enriches my relationships with my loved ones and with myself. Ingrid and Silke have created a framework in which we could all breathe, pause and simply feel our feelings. It was thoroughly loving care for something that receives far too little attention from most of us: our feelings, emotions and the connection with ourselves and each other.”

“With a mixture of theory and hands-on practice, Silke and Ingrid have provided us with important tools and knowledge that already enriches our communication about feelings and conflicts within the team. What was particularly helpful to us was that they not only provided concrete clues and tips for our political work, but also dynamically adapted the course of the two-day seminar to our group. Thank you!”
Moritz Ritter, CEO Liquid Democracy

“Working with Ing has allowed me to get in touch with a more vulnerable, emotional and true myself. She always finds the right words and the right way to make me explore my feelings, using a method that resonates with my personality. Thanks to Ing and our work together, I’m not afraid to face my emotions anymore and am actually embracing them.”
Carolina Grillet, Artist

For me, taking on a management role is both a pleasure and a challenge. The balance between team and leadership, responsibility and trust, closeness and distance is part of this challenge for me. Ingrid was able to guide me through a wonderful process of self-clarification that helps me to find and fulfill my new role. Thank you!

“I love going to Ing and I always look forward to the sessions with her. We have been meeting at irregular intervals since 2018. She accompanies me through my topics with a lot of empathy and her analytical mind. I particularly appreciate the fact that she does not evaluate my concerns, which gives me a lot of space to express myself and to find out, what I want and need. I always leave the sessions with Ing strengthened and with clarity.”
