Approach

Gail believes that people are innately capable of accessing their own wisdom with the right support. Because life’s difficulties sometimes obscure the path to problem-solving in a peaceful manner, conflict can arise as much out of fear, anger, and self-defense as well as from diffferences that present themselves as insurmountable. Gail has confidence that conflict can be seen as an opportunity for personal transformation and encourages each party to determine areas of acceptance, compromise and accountability as well as to affirm their own voices and both listen to and hear that of the other.
