WHO CREATED THIS

WHO CREATED THIS

This training was created by Lisanne Iriks, an award-winning family mediator, who has helped thousands of separated parents through their separation over the last 16 years;

This is not theory.

It comes from working with real families and seeing what works and does not work.

You are not the first parent going through separation.

You do not have to figure it out alone.

WHAT OTHER PARENTS SAID

WHAT OTHER PARENTS SAID

"Lisanne ensured conversation and negotations between myself and my ex partner were kept calm and reasonable, ensuring we understood each others perspective on issues and could successfully agree on a parenting plan for the next 12-24 months. I am so thankful for Lisanne's professional yet also friendly/sympathetic help. ”

Small shifts. Big relief.

YOUR NEXT STEP

YOUR NEXT STEP

If you are in the first year of separation, do not leave this to chance.

You cannot control everything.

You cannot control your ex.

You cannot control every outcome.

But you can control how you show up.

You can control what you agree to.

You can control what you put in place right now.

The moves you make in the first 12 months either prevent long-term damage or create it.

Do not wait until things blow up.

Do not assume it will "just work itself out."

Start with the decisions that protect your future.
