This focus on collaborative resolution allows for sustainable and amicable agreements, reducing the emotional and financial impact often associated with family disputes. Expanding on traditional mediation, Marie offers specialised services like Pre-Nuptial and Reconciliation Mediation, addressing the needs of couples wishing to establish clarity and mutual understanding before marriage or cohabitation. Additionally, her Wills and Estate Mediation facilitates constructive conversations to resolve disputes over estates, helping families navigate these sensitive issues with care and dignity.
