We work with families to navigate the processes of separation or divorce. We are qualified under the Family Law Act of BC to offer family mediation, including parenting arrangements, child support and spousal support.

Family mediation is almost always a more empowering, efficient, and cost effective choice compared with litigation (lawyers and court). As non-lawyer mediators, we know it is possible to move forward collaboratively, rather than the costly and oppositional approach of litigation.

We recognize that in many situations, notably when children are involved, parents will need to transition into a new form of relationship in order to provide an ongoing, stable life for your children. We strive to not only facilitate an amicable agreement, but also to provide the groundwork for a new ongoing parenting dynamic that is positive for everyone.

Our mediation services provide an opportunity for you to create a separate but collaborative future, through your own choices together, rather than the through the combative process of litigation.

Interpersonal dynamics within a workplace can be complex, combining multiple personality types, varying roles and objectives, and hierarchical power dynamics within the closed bubble of an office. It is not uncommon within a workplace to lose sight of the fact that each and every person has their own story, full of struggle and success, and that conflict often arises when we engage with colleagues without recognizing this. 

Bringing our many years of leadership within a wide variety of workplaces, from small family businesses to multi-billion dollar corporations, we can help you move past sticking points to re-engage with each other on a human level, finding common ground and a path forward that all parties agree to. If the issue is endemic within the business, we can help management in rooting out the core problems and overcoming them, including structural issues, toxic teams or work environments, anger management, complex multi-party conflicts, and executive coaching. 

We offer three types of workplace service:

Workplace medation can help you or your employees resolve internal issues, potentially avoiding costly litigation and tribunals.

Workplace coaching is designed for management and executives to learn how to better avoid and resolve conflict within your workplace.

Workplace investigation utilizes our broad skillsets as mediators, negotiators and coaches to help you discern what has happened or is happening within the workplace. We conduct professional investigations, provide a report of our findings, and recommendations for your consideration going forward.

We are experienced in mediating a wide variety of business matters, including partnership agreements, share purchases, dissolution, issues between two or more businesses, and issues between a client and a business.

Our wide breadth of experience gives us a working knowledge of many fields including but not limited to construction, labor, law, agriculture and education. We have a specific interest in intergenerational family business mediation, which often involves both business acumen and a deep understanding of the interpersonal dynamics within families.

Whether your business is a large corporation, a small family business or a non-profit society, we can assist you in resolving your issues and creating an agreement that is fair, equitable and satisfactory to all parties.

We offer separation coaching for individuals in dealing with a separation or divorce where your ex-partner is not willing to mediate a dispute. Separation coaching is designed to help you be better prepared to find a mutually agreeable resolution by exploring the issue(s) from the perspective of both parties, developing improved communication skills, and discerning where you are flexible and where you are not flexible on the issues at hand. Working with us in advance of a big talk can allow you to navigate the discussion in a more open, honest and productive way. Our goal in this type of work is to train you to have a basic understanding of the skills we use in mediations.

We are experienced working with all levels of management, from C-suite to middle management, from small business owners to directors. We work with management to root out endemic issues including structural issues, dysfunctional teams or work environments, anger management, and complex multi-party conflicts.
