Restorative Dialogue. Respectful Resolution.

---

Holding Space Mediation offers a neutral, compassionate setting to resolve conflict, restore trust, and support clear communication—before tensions escalate into fractured relationships, formal complaints, or legal action. Grounded in values of respect, collaboration, and emotional safety, our services blend clinical, relational, and systemic insight for a deeply informed, heart-centered process—designed to prevent and repair ruptures not just between individuals, but across generations and communities.

We specialize in two core areas:

Midwifery Mediation and Family-Centered Divorce & Parenting Mediation.

Whether facilitating dialogue among midwives, navigating emotionally charged practice issues, or supporting families through transitions in caregiving and custody, each process is tailored to the unique needs, values, and rhythms of the people involved.

For midwives and birth professionals, services include resolution of interpersonal or practice-based conflicts, misunderstandings with clients, mentor/preceptor tensions, peer-informed charting reviews, and support for organizations navigating internal dynamics or legislative efforts—ensuring midwifery-informed values remain central in both practice and policy.

For families, mediation honors conscious parenting philosophies including attachment-based caregiving, homeschooling, shared custody, and alternative nesting. We work collaboratively to reduce conflict, preserve connection, and create child-centered, values-based agreements—without litigation or adversarial framing.

Why Choose Private Mediation?

Unlike court-ordered mediation—which is often brief, impersonal, and constrained by legal procedures—private mediation through Holding Space is tailored to your values, your community, and your needs. Sessions are not bound by rigid timelines, and participants are supported in speaking openly in a confidential, non-adversarial setting.

This approach offers greater flexibility, cultural sensitivity, and continuity of care—especially for families with nontraditional parenting structures and for midwives navigating emotionally complex or high-stakes dynamics.

While not legal counsel or therapy, Holding Space Mediation bridges gaps, prevents escalation, and supports healing pathways rooted in shared understanding, midwifery-informed values, and restorative principles. This work contributes to the ongoing healing of the midwifery profession and helps prevent and repair transgenerational trauma within families and care systems.
