I’m Sandra Durston — a Family Dispute Resolution provider, Mediator, Restorative Justice facilitator, and registered Financial Adviser based in Marton, New Zealand, working with whānau across Aotearoa.

I help people have the conversations that matter — bringing calm, clarity, and connection to conflict.

Grounded in te ao Māori values, I hold space with care, cultural humility, and deep respect for each person’s whakapapa.

When I’m not supporting others, you’ll find me in the garden or with my animals, reconnecting with the whenua.

A little about me
