Lead Facilitator
Meet Katye Landry: Your Guide in Ontario Family Mediation
I believe families in transition are designing futures rather than closing cases. Providing Ontario family mediation from a facilitative perspective, I offer the structural support needed for you to reach sustainable agreements with dignity and ease.
Lead Facilitator & Family Mediator
My path to mediation is shaped by unique professional and personal experiences. I built Parallel Ground to provide the exact environment families need during a transition: a space that is structurally sound, fiercely organized, and deeply empathetic.
Sharp Practical Skills. Compassionate Ground.
To guide a family through separation, a mediator needs to understand both the emotional weight of a changing household and the practical complexities of dividing a life. My background bridges both:
- 15 Years in Real Estate & Negotiation: Navigating a separation means making massive, high-stakes decisions about your home and finances. With over a decade and a half of experience managing complex real estate transactions and asset divisions, I bring sharp, practical negotiation skills to the table. I know how to help you look past the noise to find fair, logistical solutions for your property and assets.
- Rigorous Process & Timeline Management: I specialize in organizing complex timelines and digital files. When emotions run high, my job is to keep the structural framework of your mediation perfectly on track, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
- OAFM Accreditation Candidate: I am actively pursuing my formal accreditation with the Ontario Association for Family Mediation (OAFM), anchoring my practice in the highest professional and ethical standards of the province.
Why Parallel Ground?
My practice is deeply personal and shaped by my own journey as a parent. I know firsthand the delicate balance required to restructure a household.
I don't look at mediation as a process of winning or losing. I view it as establishing a "parallel ground". A stable, respectful foundation where two parents can look forward, shield their children from conflict, and build a predictable, healthy future for their kids.
