Hi, I'm Michelle DeSantis
Your Mediation Trainer & Mentor
Whether you discovered me through my mediation tip videos on Instagram or through your friend/colleague, I’m thrilled you’re here. I created this workshop because I asked myself: What did little Mediator Michelle really need?
She needed three things: clarity to understand the mediation process, paperwork, and professional expectations; support through tools, templates, and guidance to build credibility and real results; and insight into how the court system actually works, and where mediation cases truly come from
And just like that, Tier 1 - Court Competency for Non-Attorney Mediators was born. You may have seen small clips of my life online, but behind the scenes, I’ve been building this workshop to provide you with the tools and understanding required to enter your mediation career with confidence, competence, and clarity.
If you’re ready to become a confident, professional mediator, master court-connected cases, and connect with other aspiring mediators, you’re in the right place. Let’s get to work!
