The difficulty of being a mediator is that the involved parties do not really shout out loud that they have used a Mediator. Most of the references below are therefore anonymous, collected through evaluation forms or spontaneous emails.
Windy has lived up to my expectations I have in a mediator: Trustworthy, unbiased and thinking along in solutions.
With Windy it is not difficult to pour your whole heart out. She listens with interest, confirms you when needed and can manage to lead a mediation conversation impartially, without giving you the feeling that she is on one side. Incredible, I felt heard and seen every second.
I have experienced the professionality of Windy multiple times when it comes to bridging the largest gaps that seem impossible to overcome, in a constructive and quick way. Her speciality in non-verbal communication and seeing what is not being said is a huge plus in those cases. I can wholeheartedly recommend her as a mediator.

Pleasant introduction where you can tell your whole story right away. The initial steam is let off in no time and Windy knows how to turn this into tangible facts and removing the painful points. Her calm demeanour adds to the atmosphere during the talks with both parties. She has a good listening attitude and knows how to point out the painful points well. She gives enough free space, but also summarises at key moments, which keeps you from spinning in circles. She is impartial and does know how to support and hear both parties well. It helped me tremendously not to get emotional, but to keep looking and talking about what really matters instead. This led to a nice agreement in which both parties were able to shake hands and end on a good note.
Windy is people and result focussed as a mediator. If both parties have the intention of resolving the issue, she has a constructive and aimed approach.
Thank you for the guidance. It was trusted and constructive.
The result of the mediation what not what we had hoped at the time, and this is very unfortunate, because we would have loved to continue with a healthy [name employee]. Unfortunately that is not how it went, but that was definitely not due to your input! We want to thank you for the nice collaboration.
Thank you for your pleasant help!
