Why people call me

My work begins where others have already given up.

People often find me once lawyers, mediators or therapists have done their part and the conflict is still stuck: in highly escalated cases as much as on amicable paths. What I bring: clarity, relief and humour, even where things look hopeless.

My stance

The art of working through conflict and guiding a wise separation.

Wise, to me, means clarity instead of combat, dignity instead of being right. I create the frame in which people stay able to act, and in which nothing breaks that could still hold.

01

Separation with clarity

For people in the middle of separation or divorce: orientation instead of helplessness, step by step through the «100 challenges of separation».

02

Preserving practices & businesses

My own segment: separation for physicians, dentists and business owners. Fast, discreet, and without the day-to-day business suffering.

03

The cost of conflict

For organisations: conflict costs money, time and people. Based on solid research, I make those costs visible and lead the way to solutions that hold.

Two hearts, one stance

Who I help, and with what result.

From private life to the boardroom, all from one source. My goal: clarity and a way forward, as mediation, consulting or paralegal services.

About me

The expert you call when it really counts.

For more than twenty years I have worked where people and organisations reach their limits: in healthcare, in owner families, in relationships. As a business mediator SKWM and family mediator FSM, I combine legal understanding, business precision and a real feel for people.

My conviction: a separation, whether in business or in love, does not have to end in hostility. Guided well, it can even be a catapult into your own strength. I carry this stance onto stages, into newsrooms and into every single mandate.

Why MESOLVIS?

The name joins two things my work stands for. ME for mediation. And SOLVIS from Latin: «solvis» means «you solve». I chose that deliberately: in mediation it is the parties who find their solution. I create the space and accompany them. And where my mandate is to resolve a conflict, I roll up my sleeves myself. Latin has been with me since school, and that this stance sits inside my name is no coincidence.

For stages & newsrooms

Tatjana Michaelis as a speaker.

A clear stance, a distinctive topic and niche knowledge you will not find elsewhere. Exactly what journalists and event organisers call for.

An underestimated topic, and why professionals need deeper training here.
