Welcome to the blog
This is a space for honest kōrero (chat) —where I share reflections, and real‑life experiences from my mahi (work) as a mediator.
I write from the heart, drawing on what I’ve learned sitting with whānau (family) in difficult moments.
Inspired by my ‘nanny farm’ (pictured) who raised nine tamariki (children) and countless mokopuna (grandchildren).
Common Worries Before Mediation
If you’re feeling unsure about mediation—or wondering if it’s just another argument waiting to happen—you’re not alone. In this post, I share the a common concern people bring to mediation and why, despite the worry, things often feel very different once we’re in the room. Mediation isn’t magic, but it is structured, respectful, and guided—offering a chance to slow down and actually be heard.
