I highly recommend the practitioners listed below for individual, small group and organizational healing work
Amanda Blaine, M.Ed.
I wanted to make BIG change in the world. I went from Princeton to organic farming to Harvard to teaching public school. When I encountered Sarah’s work several years ago I dove right in and immersed myself in learning and healing with her.
Now I use everything I’ve learned to support other purpose-driven people eager to give their gifts and do their best work in the world.
I draw on Nonviolent Communication, Holacracy, Depth Empathy, Empathic Coaching, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Family Constellations, and more. I love to support change makers one-on-one in their personal, vocational and relationship journeys. On an organizational level, I help leaders and groups evolve new, life-serving systems for working and living together.
“Amanda is a blessing to behold! She has a masterful fluency of both inner, emotional work, as well as community and global systems –understanding the essentialness and interconnection of both. I have so thoroughly enjoyed working with Amanda. – Jenny G.

Rev. Katherine Revoir
Through studying social neuroscience and family constellation facilitation with Sarah for the past 7 years, I’ve opened to new depths of my own self-understanding and self-love. Sharing this profound work with others brings me great joy and fulfillment.
My clients experience more emotional balance, peace, clear thinking, and choice. These changes can happen with remarkable ease.
Sessions with me might include unconscious contract/sacred vow work, resonant language empathy, and/or family constellation work. In our time together we can integrate your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, so that you live with more joy, clarity, and freedom.
I draw cartoon images that help you understand how your brain connects with other brains, and I bring over 25 years of training and experience as a spiritual counselor. I’d love to support you in making your life more wonderful.
I also facilitate online and in person Happy Brain groups, where we study social neuroscience and Nonviolent Communication (cnvc.org) while making sense of our family history through constellation work – all in warm community. This is a mystical merging of components that help us make our brain a happy place to live. See my website for details.
“For years I have worked on healing the debilitating effects of trauma. In just a few sessions with Katherine, persistent patterns of self-sabotage have been transformed, and I’m more able to enjoy life instead of just managing or coping.” ~ Samantha White
“Katherine’s warmth helped me feel safe enough to do the healing I’ve longed for my whole life. I’m making sense of my personal history and returning to a more unified experience of myself.” ~ Richard K

Kristin Masters
Kristin brings attunement, resonance, insight and compassion to her sessions toward personal and social change.
Kristin began learning the principles and skills of nonviolent communication in 1994, when she worked with Jean Morrison in San Quentin Prison doing Alternatives to Violence programs. She realized the power of NVC when it saved her marriage one day in 2001, and decided she was all in.
Kristin became a Certified Trainer in 2010, after in-depth study with Robert Gonzales’ inner work of compassion and self responsibility. She has been deeply influenced by Miki Kashtan’s approaches and applications of the core commitments.
Kristin has worked closely with Sarah Peyton since 2014 and is grateful to frequently assist Sarah in her workshops. As a science geek and a healing enthusiast, Kristin uses Sarah’s framework of Interpersonal and Relational Neurobiology, using resonant language, sacred vows, unconscious contracts, time travel empathy, and family constellations work.
Kristin also draws on her background from beloved teacher/mentors and teams including: Lillian Roybal Rose, her mentor in diversity work and cross cultural communication; and Joanna Macy’s “The Work that Reconnects” to transform the despair we feel about the state of the world into an empowered sense of action on behalf of future generations.
Her long term association with the NLSJ team (http://nlsj.learnnvc.org/meet-the-team/) to envision, commit and create “Living Critical Social Change with Nonviolent Communication” has been a collaborative learning and healing space that is at the center of Kristin’s life.
Also at the center is Kristin’s work with and focus on grief and dealing with loss. She believes that “we only grieve that which we love” and that we are meant to grieve in community. Kristin works with individuals to hold our broken heartedness as sacred, to explore the love living beneath the grief around personal and collective losses.
While she teaches locally in Santa Cruz, California where she sits on the Board of Directors of NVC Santa Cruz., she also teaches nationally and internationally (including Australia, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Canada). Please check https://nvcsantacruz.org/ for upcoming workshops and retreats. Kristin offers individual coaching, workshops, retreats, and organizational consulting.
Rates
For referrals through Sarah’s website, Kristin works on a sliding scale with a middle of $180/hour for multiple party sessions, $160/hour for individuals. The scale is wide, moving up and down according to considerations for care for her situation and your own.

Marilyn Mullen, MA
As a CNVC certified trainer studying primarily with Sarah Peyton since 2012, I am grateful for how depth empathy has tremendously deepened my self-understanding and expanded my capacity for accompanying others into sacred empathic space.
Together we slow down and respectfully follow your body sensations with attuned deep listening and resonant language, toward more clarity, ease, integration and authenticity in the wholeness of your human life. Sometimes we also time travel to resolve early trauma.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) have also contributed to my own healing journey, and thus inform my offerings.
I meet with Marilyn once a week via Skype as I live in New Zealand. I actually don’t know how to express the depth of gratitude I feel for Marilyn and her skill set. It has changed my life for the positive in profound ways. She uses NVC methods of communicating with ease, she has a way of paraphrasing, reflecting, guessing needs and emotions that is flowing, natural and very perceptive. She sometimes makes guesses before I have gone there yet when she says it – I’m moved to a big ‘Yes’ instantaneously. She is genuine, empathic, fun, caring, respectful and skilled. So I can’t speak highly enough about Marilyn – except to say Tuesday mornings (6am) is a funny time for in-depth conversations yet I’m there with bells on because I value it so much. I have worked with Councilors over the years but never had the amount of internal healing, understanding and learning than I do now with Marilyn.
– Claire W.
Marilyn did a mediation between me and my daughter. She was able to be in support to both of us – quite a feat. Many times Marilyn’s answers illuminate a part of my own thoughts that were so needing a light shone on them to be brought into my own consciousness. I am truly grateful for her presence in my life and I carry her with me, as I feel she carries me with her as well.

Pernille Plantener
I believe in miracles; my own life being the proof. Resonant empathy has supported me in walking out of the prisons of bulimia and an abusive marriage, and today I live a life I didn’t even dare to dream of.
Certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) since 2011 and certified coach at PCC level, I teach coaching and NVC, have clients from all continents, and facilitate restorative mediations for the police in my home country, Denmark. I have co-authored “At Eye-level with Victims of Violence” on how to restore dignity, aimed at first responders.
My experience in personal development includes yoga and meditation, gestalt and body therapy, 12-step programmes, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I enjoy my dream life in a same-sex marriage in a living community of women.
Having worked with Sarah since 2014, I offer resonant language empathy, sacred vow work, and time travel empathy for detecting, freeing the burdens of, and welcoming home disconnected parts.

Sara Therrien
Sara’s strength is her ability to gently help individuals heal old wounds by creating new neuropathways that subsequently alter old unwanted behaviors and reduce reactivity. Over the last ten years, Sara has worked one on one with women facing significant life challenges due to trauma, substance abuse, and family issues.
Sara has twenty years of education and experience in counseling, trauma therapy, rehabilitation, recovery, conflict resolution, mediation and facilitation. In addition to her own personal journey of recovery, over the last 3 years she has experienced deeper healing and growth with new evidence based trauma therapy methods. After experiencing profound results from these methods, Sara began studying interpersonal neurobiology and these trauma therapy techniques with Sarah Payton and Susan Skye. She completed 6 weeks of intensive training in 2016 & 2017 and has implemented these life changing models into her work.
Sara holds a BS in Rehabilitation Services and a MA in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Peace and Reconciliation where she studied forgiveness, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mediation and conflict resolution.

Susan Skye, MA
I love working in depth with people who want to thrive. Most folks I work with have a long standing interest in growth, have many parts of their life working well but are frustrated by some repeated patterns of stress, or relationship or anxiety; usually also frustrated by much of the experience they have had with ‘standard’ therapists.
I work with a combination of deep empathy, long clinical experience, and within the context of the current marvelous breakthroughs in neuroscience.
I am certified as a trainer in Nonviolent Communication (20 years), MA in Psychology, and as a practitioner of EMDR (trauma healing). I specialize in redressing the damage of early childhood trauma and neglect.
