Testimonials

““One of Kluane’s great gifts is her ability to cast circle in so many circumstances; whether facilitating a meeting, executing a carefully planned riverside memorial, or conducting an impromptu ritual at a roadside dive. I have had the pleasure of feeling these spaces transformed by the way she calls in and focuses energy, listening to the quietest cues, turning potential into actualization. Her dedication to mediation, repair, and transformative justice goes beyond professional motivations. I have been moved by the way she lives her practice, bringing her mindful craft to her personal relationships as well, taking deeply seriously her relationality in a way that supports and grows everyone around her.”

“I have had the pleasure to work with Kluane for the past two years at Restorative Justice Victoria. While a volunteer, I was so impressed by Kluane that I offered her a position doing restorative justice casework in our gender-based violence and interpersonal harm cases. These are by far the most difficult cases we deal with and Kluane has excelled in this work.

My experience working with Kluane has been that she is a talented, bright, dedicated, and insightful practitioner. She brings a wisdom to this work that I admire. What I mean by this, is that she tends to sense what is needed next and how to provide it. I appreciate that Kluane holds herself accountable to her own values and practices – she walks the talk. Kluane is also someone who will follow through and do what she’s committed to. She is organized and dependable.

It has been such a pleasure for me to work alongside Kluane. She is source of inspiration and knowledge to both colleagues and clients.”
