Meet Sarah: 

Sarah Kmon has studied and shared nonviolent communication (NVC) in her community since 2017. She works to practice (and it takes practice!) the principles of NVC in her parenting, marriage and building a home and community. 

The opportunity to share NVC is a rare gift to offer tools to inner freedom and deeper connection. Sarah blogs about raising children through nonviolence at sarahkmongrowinghearths.substack.com and offers coaching to individuals and couples to bring nonviolence into their home.
