COACHING

We craft coaching to serve the needs of both organizational leaders and individuals seeking personal support. We resource our approach from Nonviolent Communication and the neuroscience work of Sarah Peyton. We offer educational coaching, not therapy.

Over the past six months Peggy Smith has succeeded in guiding me on a journey to transform my inner voice, from one of self-criticism and failure, to one of curiosity and joy. This new understanding has created an inner feeling of warmth and peace, providing me with the resilience to face the future with love and joy towards my friends and family.
— Liz Sloan - mother/wife/architect, Virginia

Personal Growth Coaching

Our personal growth coaching is based in deep listening and resonant responding.

Some people seek support and guidance in developing their NVC skills. We can offer both private skills development and support in communicating with others.

Other clients yearn for an inner voice that is supportive, warm and accepting. We support the growth of skills to assist the client on their journey to inner warmth using the skills and processes developed by Sarah Peyton.

“My sessions with Peggy have easily been some of the must helpful and productive of my life, bar none. I would highly recommend working with her.”
— Jack Alan Copley DMin, LMFT
