In this process, a neutral third-party facilitates communication between parties to harmonize interests and reach mutually acceptable solutions. This is a great option for individuals or businesses seeking alternatives to the traditional justice system. This process is voluntary, and each mediation is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Our conflict coaching services provide personalized strategies and support to help you navigate difficult conversations independently. Whether you're facing a challenging interaction that needs to go smoothly or find yourself in a situation where formal mediation is not an option, we offer professional guidance to help you effectively manage the situation yourself. We help you prepare, communicate effectively, and work toward positive outcomes. ​​​​​
As your organizational ombudsperson, we provide an impartial resource where individuals can voice concerns, explore options, and find constructive paths forward outside formal reporting structures. We help identify systemic issues, facilitate difficult conversations, and recommend organizational improvements while maintaining strict confidentiality. ​​​​​
About
Sara Lahey - Founder & Principal Mediator
"Having firsthand experience with family conflicts early on, I developed the desire to become skillful in de-escalating situations, listening, and deliberate communication. My greatest learning has come from staying curious and maintaining a genuine passion for understanding people. As a Human Development scholar, I am deeply curious about the human experience, conditions, relationships, and communication—particularly the "how" and "why" of what we do. I explore these complexities with great attention to understanding what causes relationships and communication to break down. This foundation complements my facilitation approach.
​
I serve clients with an unwavering commitment to neutrality while ensuring their satisfaction with the mediation process. My unique approach combines personal experience, professional training, and a collaborative network of specialists to transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and understanding."
​

Together we transform tension and fragility into a fortified future.
