Meet Virginia Davis
A calm, structured process—even when things feel hard.
I’m known for a calm, steady presence and a practical, future-focused style. My role is to stay neutral, guide the process, keep things balanced, and help you make progress — even when emotions are high.

My approach
Courage
We name what’s hard, stay grounded, and move forward step by step—without escalating the conflict.
Clarity
You’ll get a clear roadmap from intake to decisions, with practical options and realistic next steps.
Connection
We protect relationships where possible—especially co-parenting—and reduce the “winner/loser” dynamic.
What I do
I provide structured family mediation for people who want dignity, steadier communication, and workable agreements in real life.
Neutral, process-focused facilitation (you make the decisions).
Safety-informed screening before joint sessions
Joint, shuttle, or hybrid formats—based on what works best
Clear documentation and practical follow-through
Who I work with
Separating parents building child-centred plans
Blended or re-forming families navigating change
Adult siblings making aging-parent decisions
Common questions
Here are a few practical answers.
If you’re unsure, a short consult is often the quickest way to clarify fit and next steps.
-
No. Shuttle mediation is available when joint sessions aren’t workable.
-
Not to start. Many people get independent legal advice alongside mediation, especially before finalizing an agreement.
-
It depends on complexity and pace, but we’ll create a clear plan after intake.
-
That’s common. A short consult often helps clarify whether mediation is a fit and what support is needed.
-
Parenting schedules, communication, holidays, decision-making, expenses, boundaries, and other practical family transition issues.
A bit more about me
I’m drawn to moments when people feel stuck—when the conversation matters, but the way it’s been going isn’t working.
My style is structured and steady: I help people slow things down, clarify what matters most, and make decisions they can actually live with.
I bring a calm presence to high-stakes conversations and I’m attentive to power dynamics, emotional intensity, and the practical realities families face during transition.

Safety and fairness come first
Before any joint mediation, I meet with each person privately. Screening helps assess readiness, safety, and power dynamics, and it guides a process design that is fair and workable. If mediation can’t be made appropriate, we pause, redesign, or I may not proceed.
Private intake first (separate conversations)
Format chosen for safety and productivity (joint / shuttle / hybrid)
Clear boundaries, confidentiality, and the right to pause or terminate if needed
Ready to take the next step?
If you’re looking for a structured, respectful way forward, book a short consult and we’ll map the next best step.
