About Jill Nagle:

A widely published author and seasoned workshop leader, Jill Nagle has spent much of her life studying many facets of interpersonal communication, especially as it relates to healing, transformation and social justice. She began this path at age eight when she read Haim Ginott's Between Parent and Child. Excited by the reflective, empathic model put forth, she attempted to tutor her father in how to talk to her.

Now, as a family mediator, Conscious Parenting course leader, and parent, she draws upon her extensive study and practice of Nonviolent Communication, two decades of peer counseling, Jewish meditation and healing practice, multicultural alliance-building work, and years of a diverse range of other studies.

In the past twenty years, she has led and participated in numerous live and online discussions, as well as published essays, books and articles on the topics of social justice and sexuality, and even written and published poetry.

For four years, she worked as a coach, consultant and editor to aspiring and published authors through GetPublished, the business she founded. She left GetPublished in 2005 to focus on her own writing, her family, and developing her Conscious Parenting approach in the laboratory of her own home and local coops.

Jill brings all these resources to her mediation work with families, and to the Conscious Parenting classes and events. She has always paved her own way, creating and synthesizing unusual and cutting-edge approaches to whatever terrain she encounters. She feels delighted and grateful to have joined forces with Shelly Birger to co-create the unique entity that is the Conscious Parenting Alliance. To Cainan (pictured above), born 2003, Jill is simply Mama.
