I help separating individuals make smart decisions
Know how to navigate through the fear and overwhelm to set yourself up for healthier and more constructive outcomes.
My family lawyer should handle everything, right?
In some circumstances engaging a lawyer is essential. Only they can provide legal advice, draft binding financial or parenting agreements by consent or represent you in court.
However, divorce is more than a legal process.
A lawyer cannot be expected to help you process emotions whilst they await your instructions. It isn’t their job to teach you how to communicate with your ex or coparent. They are also an expensive professional to brainstorm how to tell the kids or to complain about the parenting schedule.
This is why Ripple Resolutions was created, to bridge the gap between the legal, emotional and practical aspects of separation and divorce

“Without Amy's expert support, I'd likely still be in emotional turmoil, caught up in a costly and time-consuming legal battle”
I reached out to Amy for post-divorce mediation concerning a legal and financial agreement. Amy's support was invaluable. She kept me focused on my goal of severing all financial ties, guiding me to engage with my ex-husband respectfully yet firmly. Amy's warmth and caring nature made me feel like I had a personal cheerleader and a level-headed advisor by my side throughout the process. I can't recommend Amy enough – she's worth her weight in gold.

“Engaging Amy during my separation from my husband was incredibly valuable”
In the early stages, I felt emotionally overwhelmed, and having someone to offer calm, practical guidance made all the difference. Unlike a lawyer, Amy helped me understand the process and how to work with my legal team more effectively — using them for clear instructions rather than emotional support. Her insight gave me the clarity and confidence to move forward and avoid unnecessary legal costs. I’m truly grateful to have had her support during such a difficult time.

“Amy has been of immense help over the last couple of years as I navigated multiple mediations, lawyer negotiations and parenting matters before the courts”
The simple information Amy provided helped me to feel more informed and she taught me how to manage my emotions, so I could be clear on my instructions to my lawyer. I was also prepared for and able to engage effectively in each mediation and the subsequent negations. The conflict communication techniques Amy teaches, has really helped me to change how I write to my ex, which so far has improved how he responds, but most importantly I now feel able to establish boundaries.
