SERVICES

How can I be of service today?

 

 

Please explore the various services below that I hope to provide you and your team. Many of these training and workshop options center around building and sustaining inclusive communities by utilizing Restorative frameworks. Learn more about my working definitions of Restorative Practices by visiting the International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP).

The selection of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion trainings and workshops begin by exploring self and identity, then expanding outward to the group through team building, resulting in skill development for transformational change. The concepts of contemplative practices and critical pedagogy highly influence my working definitions and frameworks.
