I discovered mediation nearly a decade ago when I resolved a personal dispute using this alternative dispute resolution method. The mediation, which lasted 12 hours, was resolved by the mediator, the lawyers, and myself, as I actively participated in the negotiations. From that day, I realized that negotiation and mediation were my calling. In my first case as a mediator, I managed to achieve a complete settlement between the parties. This confirmed my belief that I possessed the necessary skills to be an effective negotiator. Over the past two years, I have been mediating every week, and through continuous practice and study, I have honed these innate abilities. Currently, I assist individuals, families, and companies in resolving their conflicts swiftly and effectively, ensuring a satisfactory outcome for all parties involved, while considering the psychological, financial, emotional, and social aspects of the dispute, fulfilling my role as a MINDFUL NEGOTIATOR.
Being mindful during divorce negotiations is my trademark as a Mindful Negotiator.
I mediate weekly, dealing with division of assets; child custody; parenting time; child support, and spousal support.
My mediations aim to guide my clients to enter into fair and sustainable agreements, taking into account the consequences of this agreement on the lives of everyone involved.
Certainly your well-being and the well-being of your family is what drives my family mediation practice.
"Marcia has an excellent attitude during Mediation sessions and conducts them very well without losing focus on the object of the dispute and without losing control of the situation during periods of tension. She establishes a good connection with the parties thereby allowing them to trust her during the journey. Marcia uses mediation techniques extremely well, especially the reality test. Being objective and maintaining control were the points that most caught my attention when watching Marcia's mediation sessions."

"Marcia inspires respect and trust for the parties using her verbal and non-verbal language appropriately. Her role as a mediator is that of a neutral person who conducts the session without deciding and making the parties actively participate in the search for the best solutions to their conflicts. She leads the parties to understand that it is possible to resolve conflicts peacefully and quickly, demonstrating her problem-solving skills with clear and creative imagination.
Marcia remains impartial throughout the session, respecting the different points of view.
She has the ability to be firm and assertive when the situation requires it, as she is aware of the moments when intervention is needed to help the parties in the dialogue, demonstrating to be a facilitator of the process, leaving the parties at ease to talk about their pain, emotions, and thoughts so that, in the end, they can come to a mutually acceptable agreement.
Marcia possesses great interpersonal understanding and intelligence, as well as the ability to demystify and simplify human problems, along with the ability to be calm, balanced, and considerate in the face of hostility and tension.
In general, the mediation sessions conducted by Marcia are flexible, non-directive, and non-judgmental, respecting the autonomy of the clients."

"Having Marcia guiding me throughout my divorce process was critical to my mental health and the success of my separation agreement. During the whole process, her presence was essential so that I didn't ruin everything. She was that person whose role it was to keep my emotions in check, and she trained me to focus only on the legal part of the process. She gave me advice on how to deal with my ex to minimize conflicts, and with her guidance, our separation process became less stressful for my entire family."
