JESSICA YAFFA
TESTIMONIALS
“Jessica Yaffa is an impactful and compassionate speaker whose presence resonates deeply with audiences. I first heard her speak a decade ago during a training on Compassionate Communication, addressing a diverse group that included counselors, police officers, and lay ministers. By lunchtime, her words had touched many to the point of tears, fostering a powerful sense of connection among all present. Since then, I have observed her in both intimate and large group settings, and each time, she brings a profound ability to engage, educate, and uplift. Jessica has a unique gift for connecting with people humbly and authentically, and through her humanity, she plants seeds of insight that inspire lasting transformation.”

“We wanted to sincerely thank you for leading three workshops on developing healthy relationships and compassionate communication that provided specific language and advice for Grauer teens and parents. I got the chance to sit in on two of the three workshops, and as a parent and teacher I found them to be incredibly helpful! This was messaging that our community needed to hear.”

Whether the audience is mental health professionals or members of the community, her message is always delivered in a powerful but clear way. She has worked tirelessly to promote education for the public regarding healthy relationships and is a true inspiration who demonstrates that hope can come from tragedy.”
