Communication affects the quality of ​ALL our relationships. By learning and practising the skills of Compassionate Communication we can consciously create the quality of relationships we want. 
Do you have the quality of connection you want?
My name is Paulette Bray-Narai, and this is the home of 
Express Peace Cultivating Compassion & my passion - 
​"Nonviolent Communication" 
aka "Compassionate Communication 
I love its universality and its simplicity; how it aids honesty, clarity and connection
and it's incredible power to build trust and good will in relationships.
 
Are you frustrated and wanting mutual understanding, trust or respect in a valued relationship? OR Are you wanting to get your needs met peacefully and maintain appropriate boundaries?

In my trainings and private sessions I supports people in learning, practising and integrating skills of NVC and emotional intelligence to consciously create the quality of relationships they want. 

 Learning powerful and effective communication processes that stimulates compassion in ourselves and others makes it more likely we can meet our needs and uphold genuine  connection in peaceful ways. For many this is life changing.

In my experiences, I have seen how our relationships are a source of great joy in our lives, and at times great despair.  Communication is a key element in any relationship - personal or professional.

How we speak to each other, listen to each other, understand each other, determines how well we live and work together. 

Practising NVC is an empowering and effective way to enjoy more harmony, honesty, clarity, ease and joy in relationships.  Join thousands of others by contacting Paulette for options and pathways.

What People Are Saying:- reprinted with permission

​"I am so grateful for the enriching, inspirational reminders of where my heart sings, and where I long to live.  Congratulations on your Certification, Paulette.  May you share CC far and wide."
C Carter.  Parent Byron Bay

"The workshop was invaluable. The importance of identifying feelings and judgements surprised me."
T B

"Hi, Paulette

I've thought of you sometimes lately. When I hear people often use non NVC,   I strongly reminded the importance of NVC and thought I would like to refresh my NVC skill. 
Especially now I became a Naturopath, have started my business and would like to communicate with my clients with NVC.

Anyway, today I wanted to share something and say thank you to you once again.
I wonder if you remember when I had a private session with you.
I particularly wanted to communicate a person  and asked you to help me writing an email to him with NVC. I haven't had any reply from him But today, he suddenly contacted me  
I feel very thankful to you that you helped me with NVC and I could reconnect with this person. 
I still remember the first time that you responded me with NVC.
I felt like crying because I was so moved with your NVC and I thought my needs were understood by you. 
And it was a big healing for me more than any counselling. 
Thank you so much, Paulette. "
Mika.   Perth, WA

Did I tell you that people in my “Dancing with Self-Compassion” workshops are LOVING your cards!!!!!
​Phyllis B.   USA

Ah Ha Card Feedback:
"During a NVC meeting I saw your cards being used in a remembering circle.
They made me feel mild and I adore them, I understand you made them yourself?
At the moment I use (…) and I would really like to be able to add yours  because they look so friendly and feel nice : ) and I like how they feel in my hands.
