Mala’e Erickson has been practicing Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication (Compassionate Communication) since 2000 and has been sharing it through workshops and practice groups since 2011. Also a teacher of Holistic Peer Counseling and Connection Parenting, Mala’e is passionate about healing our world through personal growth, child-rearing practices, and social change.
