Attunement Framework

“While on the most basic level we were committed to writing an honest report, we hoped that in the right hands, the process surrounding the report could also provide space for truth-telling and healing. Judy's were the right hands. She designed and expertly managed a process that acknowledged our delicate dynamics but also invited in bravery and compassion. In the end, Judy gave us the honest report we were seeking and opened a door for further healing, learning, and restoration.”
