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.

I offer communications training, workshops and coaching for companies, parents, teachers and non-profit organizations that build skills to resolve conflicts with more ease, support authenticity and harmony in relationships and allow people to integrate their core values into their work, school, and family relationships. I empower clients to turn challenging situations into opportunities for growth, understanding and connection.

I’m currently a graduate student in Antioch University’s clinical psychology doctoral program. I’m taking the adult concentration with a focus on health and forensic psychology. I was first introduced to compassionate communication through a course I took at Langara College with Raj Gill. I then went on to complete an intensive training with Dr. Rosenberg, and a number of courses with the NVC Training Academy.

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. I had been struggling for two years over leaving a position that was comfortable, secure and well compensated. Yet, at the same time, I felt suffocated by the thought of spending the rest of my life doing something that did not inspire me and was not in alignment with my life purpose.

Writer, author, practitioner, facilitator, presenter and teacher Renee Lindstrom brings awareness to concepts and habitual patterns that have become constraints to finding more ease and support in ourselves, in our relationships, socially, in our community and province.
