Romina founded Ark Mediation, which has been trading since 2019, and leads its team of family mediators. Ark has helped over 1,000 clients, from MIAMs through to full mediation. She is a fully accredited member of the Family Mediation Council (FMC number 1399A) and is trained in child-inclusive mediation, so children can have a voice in decisions that affect them.
She helps the wider profession set and raise standards too. In 2026 Romina was appointed a mediator member of the Family Mediation Standards Board, which sets and maintains professional standards for family mediators in England and Wales. She also sits on the board of National Family Mediation, and since 2024 has been a Professional Practice Consultant (PPC), training and mentoring mediators who are working towards accreditation.
Romina has handled many cases, including complex family mediation involving parental disputes, as well as civil and workplace conflicts. Her empathetic yet pragmatic approach makes sure both people feel heard and supported as they work towards an agreement. Her mediation career builds on a successful corporate career in commercial sales and partnership development for technology companies, and she co-founded Digital MIAM to make mediation easier to access online.
Because family mediation is still unfamiliar to many people, Romina and the Ark team created The Family Mediation Project, a free guide that explains how mediation works in England and Wales. The Ark team point clients to it so they can understand their options before and during mediation.
Through her Instagram channel, Mediation with Romina, she shares honest, practical support for separating parents: keeping children at the centre, communicating as co-parents, and finding a calmer way forward.

Tips from Mediation with Romina
Practical, honest support for separating parents, shared on Instagram.
Dear Mum and Dad: what children wish you knew
When parents separate, the relationship changes, but a child’s need to feel safe, loved and free to love both parents does not. You don’t have to be friends with your ex or agree on everything. Mediation is not about repairing the relationship; it helps you find a constructive way forward as co-parents, so children never have to choose between the two people they love most.
