Mycelium Mediation is guided by the core values of empathy, dignity, integrity, and a deep belief in our inherent belonging. the project's mission is to root resilience and grow liberated communities through strengthening our collective conflict capacity. The guiding star of the project is Martin Luther King Jr's vision of Beloved Community.

values and vision

I’m a mediator based in Berlin, trained through the International Mediation Campus and accredited by the International Mediation Institute. I bring over 70 hours of training and 7 years of practical experience in Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

I hold a double Bachelor's degree in Peace and Conflict Studies and International Development from the University of Queensland. My professional background includes academic and commercial social science research focused on improving equitable health outcomes — you can read some of my published work here. I've also worked as a community health worker and as a decriminalisation campaigner for sex workers.

While I’m especially passionate about supporting community organisers and collectives, I welcome anyone who is seeking a grounded and transformative approach to conflict.

I look forward to working together.
