Comments from trainees
“Pierrette and Roland were not only great instructors, they were great models on what conscious couples look like. They were able to explain (together and separately) the concepts covered in the IMAGO Level One Training so that they were understandable and replicable. I use some of their analogies and illustrations on a weekly basis as I work with couples and individuals. They are a pleasure to work with and to watch.”
Tabitha R. Mann, LCSW, Washington DC USA
“Pierrette Richard and Roland Bryar are refined, authentic and very human. They are open, warm and welcoming; it invited me to communicate and connect. Simple, humble and also very coherent and clear in their explanations and in their educational demonstrations, they introduced me to an embodied way of listening and to show empathy the Imago Way. In that spirit, I’ve evolved with this theory thanks to their flexible approach, support and their coaching.”
Alain Vincent, Psychologist, Montreal Canada
