What Inspired Me to Become a Mediator

From the time she began mediating in 2003, Ada fostered a vision to open a center for divorcing families to find the support and resources needed to navigate the uncertain and often daunting aspects of divorce. She now finds the successful fulfillment of this aspiration extremely rewarding Mediating hundreds of couples since she began, Ada considers it a privilege as well as enlightening to work with families in transition.

Soren Kierkegaard: “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
