About Space For Heart
We all carry an inner world with us, yet it can sometimes feel surprisingly unfamiliar. It can be calm and spacious at times, and turbulent and confusing at others.
Space For Heart was created as a space for exploring this inner world: a place to pause, reflect, connect, and share what we discover along the way.
We hope this space offers a little more room to come home to yourself, and to find a sense of belonging within.

About Julia
Hi, I’m Julia, a Certified NVC Trainer and NVC-based mediator.
My journey with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) began at home, on an ordinary Monday morning. A difficult experience in a family relationship left me overwhelmed with anxiety and confusion. At first, I focused on what was happening between us. But the pain eventually led me to look inward. I began to realize how lost and disconnected I had become from my own life. I had lost my enthusiasm for my work, felt uncertain about the future, and was quietly questioning what made life meaningful.
Looking back, I now see that difficult time as a gift. It led me to Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life and opened a path of learning that continues to shape my life today.
Over the years, I have learned from Certified Trainers and NVC practitioners around the world, eventually becoming a Certified Trainer myself. I now offer workshops, mediation, and one-to-one coaching in both English and Mandarin Chinese. More importantly, NVC has become a practice of how I relate to myself, to others, and to life. I’ve been learning to look beneath words and behaviors, connect with feelings and needs, express myself with honesty and vulnerability, and meet others with greater empathy and compassion.
Having grown up in China and lived in Toronto for more than twenty years, I feel fortunate to have experienced both Eastern and Western cultures. Despite our different backgrounds and life experiences, I continue to be moved by how much we share as human beings: our longing for safety, understanding, freedom, belonging, and connection.
I hope to be a guide and companion for those exploring their inner world and seeking more meaningful relationships with themselves and the people they care about.
I long for a world where everyone’s needs matter, and where we can meet one another beyond right and wrong.
