Hi, I’m Nicole, the founder and Lead Mediator of 29 Eleven Mediation.​

My path here hasn’t been traditional, but it has been intentional. I bring both analytical training and real-life experience into this work. With a bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics (Operational Research & Analysis) and a master’s in Organizational Leadership and Behavior, my career has centered on solving complex problems and helping people move forward with clarity — as a teacher, coach, statistician, and analyst.​

​

But my most important lessons didn’t come from a classroom or corporate role — they came through the family court system. I’ve lived the stress, cost, and confusion of divorce and custody disputes firsthand, including successfully navigating parts of the process pro se. I know what it feels like to try to make the “right” decision when emotions are high, information is unclear, and the stakes are your children and your future.​

​

That experience is exactly why I created 29 Eleven. This isn’t just a business — it’s a heart project built to fill a gap I experienced personally: families being pushed into expensive conflict without a clear plan, clear options, or real support.

I don’t do cookie-cutter mediation. I bring a structured, strategy-driven approach that helps clients reach practical, real-life solutions.

​

What I do differently:

• Start with you and your family as people first — not just a case file

• Help you get organized and clear on priorities before mediation

• Identify realistic options and tradeoffs (so decisions are informed)

• Facilitate productive communication and reality-checking, especially in high-conflict dynamics

• Guide you toward agreements built for real life — not just paperwork

​

Through mediation and one-on-one strategy/consulting sessions, I help families save money, reduce stress, and stay focused on workable outcomes — with children and long-term stability at the center.

​

I believe resolution isn’t weakness. It’s leadership. And when families are supported with the right process, they can move through conflict with more dignity, more clarity, and a stronger foundation for what’s next.

​

Honest. Passionate. Effective. That’s my promise.
