What Makes Alliston Resolutions Different?

Holistic, Client-Centred Approach

In my practice, I focus on your whole situation—emotional, financial, and practical—to create solutions that truly fit your needs and help you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

Interest Based Methods

I prioritize uncovering each person’s underlying needs and interests, rather than just their stated positions, to facilitate solutions that benefit both parties and encourage long-term cooperation.

About Michelle

My name is Michelle Rakowski and my passion for mediation comes from my own experience of navigating a difficult divorce while raising four young children on my own. I know firsthand how overwhelming the legal system can be, and I’ve made it my mission to help others avoid the confusion and pitfalls I faced. For the past 10 years, I’ve been proudly serving Alliston and the surrounding areas, building a mediation practice focused on transparency, fairness, and affordability. My goal is to help you find peace and resolution without unnecessary stress, so you can move forward with your life, your dignity intact.
