“I cannot express enough how much I have appreciated and learned … It has been incredibly humbling to enter this new space, to see opportunity with skills in negotiation that I have been cultivating over the course of my career, and to envision with positivity a next phase of my life that is oriented towards peacemaking. Thank you [Lara] for all of your incredibly skilled guidance and teaching. As a former professor and long-time mentor, I have been absolutely blown away at your skill and capacity to make each participant feel valued and heard, while simultaneously communicating deep expertise and experience with confidence and clarity. Your patience with my many MANY questions and comments is also much appreciated...”

"I love that Lara was so insightful and understanding of all of our backgrounds and approaches to learning. She is a wonderful instructor and I would recommend any of her trainings in a heartbeat. Her passion for the industry really shows… Coming into mediation as a second career, I was eager but also unsure of how I might find my place in this field. Under Lara’s guidance, that uncertainty quickly turned into clarity and confidence. Her warmth and depth of knowledge made every session engaging and meaningful, and I always left feeling both supported and inspired. What resonated most was how she wove together practical skills and foundations of Family Law with the deeper values of mediation — compassion, respect, and the commitment to help families navigate change. Her teaching style not only gave me the tools I needed but also affirmed my calling to this work. I now feel both confident and excited to continue building this path…”

Training with Lara on divorce mediation was an incredible experience. She’s deeply knowledgeable and gave practical advice for real-life situations, along with thoughtful, comprehensive feedback. Her presentation style itself demonstrated the strengths of mediation: she was clear, balanced, and deeply respectful, which made the learning even more impactful. Lara is always available, enthusiastic, and encouraging, and provided our class with a set of tools we were prepared to use immediately moving forward. Our class so enjoyed the training that we decided to create a study group together to continue learning and growing in this space. I could not recommend a trainer more highly!
