Testimonials
Chandra will hold your experience with grace, nonjudgment, and care. Her gentleness is palpable. What’s unique about Chandra is that this gentleness is paired with firmness — a fierce dedication to get to the root of things without fuss. She’s got a gift for seeing process and she’s not shy about naming what she sees. You’ll be grateful for her gift. I certainly am." -- C, founder, author, teacher
Chandra's ability to guide, coach and honor us as individuals and as a mother/daughter in relationship was transformational." - M & E
Our organization went through a challenging time dealing with reported incidents that had the potential to divide our community, with seriously negative consequences to deep relationships that had been built over many years. Those of us working as a team to resolve these issues were way out of our depth. Working with Chandra helped us understand and learn a very respectful, objective way to approach the situation with all parties involved. Her guidance and expertise provided the process, tools, and best environment for everyone to stay open, honest, and focus on re-building relationships for the future, rather than remaining negatively impacted by past events. Based on that experience, and the resulting healing of our community, we have formally implemented this model of Right Relationship throughout our entire organization. Chandra is skilled, inclusive, and a wonderful person to partner with, no matter how difficult the situation." --Board President, Seattle-based Non-profit
I am so thankful to have received assistance from Chandra as my husband and I skirted around the possibility of divorce. Chandra shared her exceptional warmth, wisdom and understanding, always showing her positive nature. With Chandra’s help, I feel empowered to once again enjoy my journey with my husband of 36 years." -L.M.
Chandra’s clear, compassionate, and wise voice led to some pivotal changes in my life. She helped me see my own strength while also supporting me towards self-advocacy and growth." - Hannah G.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings. – Wendell Berry |
