Decrease your stress
Help you get to the root of the matter
Manage and resolve your conflict
Improve emotional well-being

Judy’s Story

Judy first provided mediation for workplace and civil disputes through JRB Mediations in 2015 and soon after included family and separation & divorce mediation to her service offerings.

Not long after establishing JRB Mediations, the Alberta Provincial Courts sought her as a mediator for their Civil Mediation Program, where she resolved a variety of disputes ranging from real estate, contracts, construction, partnerships, and other issues.

Following her successful tenure with the Provincial Courts, Judy joined the Alberta Energy Regulator as full-time mediator specializing in resolving intricate and complex oil and gas disputes between companies and between landowners and companies.

Aside from mediation, Judy’s broad experience has included many successful collaborations and negotiations with clients from various industries and organizational levels. Judy has:

overseen government and agricultural investments
led economic development projects and provincial policy initiatives
directed communication campaigns
diversified experience as a Realtor, post secondary Instructor, property management, farming, and more.

Judy’s diverse background gives her the advantage of understanding a range of industries and perspectives, and creating custom resolution strategies for workplace conflicts, family disputes, and civil disagreements.

Judy has also provided volunteer mediation services within the community.

Judy is a full member with the Family Mediation Society of Alberta and the Alternative Dispute Resolution Institute of Alberta and of Canada.
