| Jeff Chernove (Trainer) | |
Jeff Chernove is a Certified Hakomi Therapist and Trainer living with his life partner, Georgia Marvin, in a floating home on the Fraser River in Ladner (Delta), BC. Jeff’s love of wild places and his love of Hakomi are shared with friends and clients aboard Seabear, their 37 foot Nordic Tug, which takes them to beautiful islands and inlets along the BC and Alaska coastline.

 |
| Jeff’s lifework is teaching and practising Hakomi in the tradition of his teachers Ron Kurtz and Donna Martin, in private practice as well as in the Vancouver Hakomi trainings and workshops. Seeing clients and students gain more freedom and peace in their lives is as fulfilling to Jeff now as it was 9 yrs. ago when he started in private practice. It is a privilege to accompany another human being on a journey of self discovery, as this journey sometimes requires one to be fully with another in their pain of loss and grief , as well as in the discovery of their inner resources. Jeff and Georgia compassionately work together with couples, helping them to discover the habits in relationship that cause them unnecessary suffering. | |
