About Julia West:
Being widowed in my 40s, I dabbled in online dating to meet new people. I became intrigued by the various ways people present their profiles. I noticed that some people were good at promoting themselves while others seemed uncomfortable describing their good qualities and don’t know what to say in messages or on their first date.
I have a Bachelor in Social Sciences and have studied effective ways of communicating over the last ten years. I enjoy facilitating conversations where each participant is listened to and understood. I use a variety of skills including those of Compassionate Communication (also known as Non-Violent Communication). I am also an NLP Master Practitioner.
I also have a post graduate diploma in Arts Therapy.
I have previously tutored at Wellington Polytech and the National College of Design and Technology.
