What is Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary process whereby parties discuss their issues and concerns as well as their desired outcome. The mediation session is managed by a neutral mediator who facilitates communication between the parties allowing an environment in which parties are encouraged to explore solutions and where a balanced, fair result is possible. By choosing mediation over litigation the parties ensure their mediation process is private and confidential.
Advantages of Mediation Versus a Court Proceeding:
Pie has been mediating cases since 2018 and is certified with the Virginia Supreme Court to mediate general district, juvenile & domestic relations, and circuit court family cases.
Whether your dispute is related to an unpaid debt, neighbor to neighbor, landlord/tenant (unlawful detainer), family member discord, child custody, or separation/divorce, mediation is available as a virtual (zoom) session which can help parties to feel more comfortable in their own surroundings. While maintaining a “virtual” distance from each other can ease tensions through physical separation, virtual mediation also provides flexibility for scheduling. Shuttle sessions by phone are also available.
Pie will work in harmony with you to explore your intentions, and help cultivate your desired environment. If greater stability and calm is your goal, or reducing stress, identifying dysfunctional parts of your life, relationships, to feel more authentically you, Pie will ferret out the troublesome obstacles that might be holding you back from choosing a more whole, peace-filled, and fulfilling life.
Whether you live in the Charlottesville or Richmond, Virginia area or wherever you reside globally, as your coach, Pie will support you in developing greater self-confidence while encouraging you to transform your desires and enthusiasm into successful results, forging the more meaningful life you aspire to live.
“I believe that compassion, a sense of kindness and warmheartedness toward others, is the basic source of all happiness. Therefore, I have no doubt that every individual who attempts to cultivate it contributes to creating a happier, more peaceful world.“ – His Holiness The Dalai Lama from the Foreword of A Truthful Heart – Jeffrey Hopkins
