HELEN TANG: Vancouver & Suburbs
A few years ago, after having worked in the corporate sector for over a decade, I decided to leave my job as a Certified Management Accountant in a large corporation. With the desire to fulfill my highest potential and live a meaningful life, I embarked on a journey of healing and transformation. During this process, I realized that my passion was working with people to help them grow and find purpose and meaning in their lives. I took the necessary training and became a Registered Professional Counsellor and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist.

CAROL KEANE: Vancouver Island
I am passionate about the ability we all possess to grow and learn as we reach deeper to embrace and understand ourselves. NVC/Compassionate Communication opened my heart to the value of being curious rather than judging a situation. I have been energized by the power of using the NVC process to support connection and social change in the workplace.
I have facilitated workshops in both the public and private sector including forestry, fish processors, crisis line volunteers, community health care agencies, aboriginal communities, women’s business networks, colleges and universities. These workshops have been organized in Port Alberni, Nanaimo, Kelowna, Port McNeill, Port Hardy, Duncan Salt Spring and Gabriola Island.

I am passionate about helping people bring more harmony, authenticity and connection into their lives through effective communication. I believe that our habitual patterns of communication often result in misunderstanding, conflict and isolation. Effective and compassionate communication is particularly important in parent/child relationships where attachment and trust are essential to the healthy emotional development of the child.
