Meet Katie Testa

Katie Testa has been passionately pursuing the integration of a needs based awareness since discovering the perspective. She has found both inspiration and hope through her practice for living a life that is in true alignment with her values as a parent, teacher, coalition builder, and individual.

She was trained by The New York Center for Nonviolent Communication, and is presently a part of the NYCNVC Leadership Team. Her experience leading and facilitating a variety of programs, from advanced intensive retreats to introductory workshops, as well as working one on one with coaching clients, has been a major contribution to her learning and growth as a committed and enthusiastic practitioner of Needs Based Relating.

Katie is overjoyed and excited to have the opportunity to connect with and support others on their journey of learning this new way of being with themselves and the world, and hopes to provide both valuable services and resources that facilitate peace making skills and increased connection in the communities she is a part of, and beyond.
