Welcome, my name is Lorie Hardin. I am Alaska's only nationally certified divorce coach and provide family and custody mediation in Alaska and across the globe through zoom services. I specialize in working with parents who are involved in high-conflict divorce or custody battles. 

 

I understand firsthand, through my own divorce, the heartache and destruction that can occur when individuals are making life-altering decisions while overwhelmed and not operating at their very best.  I help my clients regain a sense of peace, security and feel like they're in control of their life again!

 

If you would like to discuss how I can help you reduce conflict, reduce the expense of drawn-out litigation, and make clear and reasoned decisions without regrets please contact me for a complimentary discovery consultation.

Family Mediation 

Mediation is an informal, voluntary, and confidential way to resolve disagreements without giving the decision making power about your family to someone else.  In mediation, all the decision making power stays with you.

 

Divorce Coaching

Coaching is a flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate and guide people going through divorce helping them make the best possible decisions for their future, based on their particular interests, needs, and concerns.

Parenting Services

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure. And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

-Marianne Williamson
