I am a trained mediator with a background in conflict management. My work is shaped as much by practice and self-reflection as by formal training.

Over the past years, I have immersed myself in mediation education and experiential learning contexts that allowed me not only to study conflict, but to be in it, to notice my own reactions, limits, and assumptions, and to work with them consciously.

I completed a certified mediation training of 90 hours at Alice Salomon Hochschule (ASH), grounded in participatory and practice-oriented methodologies. The training focused on mediating across a wide range of contexts, from interpersonal and local two-party conflicts to more complex, multi-actor settings shaped by social, cultural, and political dynamics. A central element of this formation was the development of inner attitude: presence, neutrality, self-responsibility, and the ability to stay grounded while working with tension and emotional intensity.

Alongside this, I attended specialized workshop in restorative justices through the Institut für Restaurative Praktiken Berlin. This work deepened my understanding of conflict as a relational process, and of accountability, responsibility, and repair as lived practices rather than abstract principles.

For six months, I was also part of an Authentic Communication Group, a continuous practice space informed by principles of Nonviolent Communication, parts work (including Internal Family Systems–inspired perspectives), and embodied awareness. This experience sharpened my sensitivity to inner dynamics, emotional layering, and the ways unspoken needs shape communication, especially under stress or conflict.

What connects all these learning spaces is not the promise of “resolution,” but a shared understanding: that conflict often carries information about what remains unspoken. Staying with it can reveal what is actually at stake.

I do not approach mediation as someone who has “figured it out,” but as someone who has learned how to stay present, curious, and responsible, including for my own involvement in the process. My role is to create a structured, confidential space in which different perspectives can become visible, and in which clarity can emerge at a pace that feels right.
