"We used Genna as our custody mediator and it was an incredibly positive experience. She is deeply compassionate, an exceptional listener, and created a space where both myself and my co-parent felt respected and understood. Rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all solution, Genna truly empowered us to make our own decisions about what would be best for our family, which made the agreement feel meaningful and sustainable."
