What Our Clients Have To Say

When my husband served me with the summons of divorce, my world fell apart. I did all I knew when a divorce happens. I took my summons to an attorney suggested by a friend of mine, who she knew from another friend of hers.   

When I arrived there I was treated like a client. 45 minutes of boring explanation of the court proceeding and of what legally was going to take place and what was going to happen, and all the various options of my soon-to-be ex-husband.  Ultimately there was no relief because there was no compassion. 

 

Somebody just told me how my marriage, from a legal perspective was going to end but not how was I going to survive. Eventually through another friend I heard of these two Italians and how they were passionate about their work and compassionate of the situation. 

 

I picked up my heart and set an appointment. Walking into their lounge seemed very inappropriate for my matter. I was going through divorce for goodness sake. 3 hours later Francesca almost became my best friend and I was drawn to the sense of humour of her fiancé, Guido. Divorce is as dramatic as it gets, but somehow in their living room, there was a bit of a light somewhere at the end of the tunnel. They made me realise that for as much as life seems to be ending it was just the beginning of another chapter. I understood that time, much time, was needed for the healing to take place and yet a new version of me was going to emerge. 3 months into litigation, we realised that all the money that could have gone to our children, was going to our attorneys. My ex-husband decided to accept using them as a mediators. A WhatsApp group was opened and all of a sudden there was an effective communication system between myself and my ex, where finally we could only speak of what was important for the kids. Mindful Family Rescue’s compassion and understanding is the name of the game. I would recommend anyone anytime to have a chat with this absolutely amazing couple when going through any difficulties with your partner. Thank you for giving me my life back and always putting my children first.

My ex- boyfriend, aka, father of my children, due to a long issue with substance abuse, was absent in the first 5 years of their lives. No maintenance, no communication and no relationship with my kids. I never lied to my 2 boys, they knew who their father was and it was breaking my heart to take them to soccer practice and being one of the only mothers amongst a field predominantly occupied by dads. I got a call from Guido, out of nowhere, and when he began explaining that the father of my kids contacted him to try assist in restoring the relationship between him and his boys. My heart stopped and all the anger built up over a period of years resurfaced in an instant. I went to the meeting. I did not trust the process, the outcome and I was fearful for my two boys. Fearful that their heart might be broken again. I trusted Guido and his knowledge about substance abuse, I trusted Francesca as that hard to find kindness and love for children she has, I have never seen before. Fast forward 6 months, a great deal of due diligence and crisis management with my emotions, my children now have a dad with a despicable past but a positive future ahead. Thank you for the comfort you gave me through the long days without my kids.

Guido has the power to tell you the things you don’t want to hear, yet in such a way that they begin making sense to you. I was firm in my ways and God forbid that someone was going to show me that there was another way. I didn’t believe it and I was not going to listen. Francesca on the other hand, softly and gently was medicating the wounds left from the hard sessions with her partner. If you want someone indulging your emotions, please choose another mediator. If you want someone that sugar coats procedure and processes and guarantees outcomes, Mindful Family Rescue is not the place to go. If you want someone who unapologetically tells you from wisdom and experience what is happening in such a way that cannot be misunderstood, then Mindful Family Rescue is the way to go. May sound harsh and brutal but what is real may hurt but truth brings healing. I will refer you anyone, but not ones who have a delicate heart.. lol. Thanks guys. You saved me.
