LIZ
Liz Eckman is a trained mediator with a calm, steady approach to conflict — and a heart for families caught in the middle of it.
As a mother, she understands what divorce does to a child’s sense of safety. As a believer, she makes room for faith when families want it. As a neutral professional, she ensures both voices are heard
and neither is dismissed.
Her work is quiet. Intentional. Grounded.
No pressure.
No sides.
No chaos.
Just honest guidance through a difficult season — with grace and clarity leading the way.
You don’t have to live inside the tension forever.
If you’re ready to move forward, gently, thoughtfully, and with support - MINT is here.
Start Here.
The Answers Will Help.
mint (noun)
1. a plant known for renewal, clarity, and calm
2. a symbol of freshness — a clean beginning
3. something that restores what feels worn
Mint represents renewal in its truest form. It treats divorce not as damage but as transition — a moment of reorientation, clearing, and beginning again. The qualities of mint echo the work itself. It refreshes without noise. It calms without force. It clears space without erasing what mattered.
At its heart, Mint believes separation can be handled gently. Clarity can sit beside grief.
Peace is allowed in the middle, not only at the end. This is support for the part of you that doesn’t want war, for the parent protecting their child, for the person who simply wants the noise to stop.
Mint is here to help you move forward with dignity, steadiness, and a sense of quiet restoration. Some endings aren’t meant to shatter you. They’re meant to reset the ground beneath your feet.
Divorce feels heavy when everything is unclear.
MINT brings structure, calm, and transparency to a moment that often feels chaotic.
This page shows you exactly how the process works—from the first conversation to final agreement—so nothing feels mysterious or overwhelming.
No pressure.
No legal fog.
Just a steady path forward.
A Gentle Place to Start
Every journey with MINT begins with a simple, private conversation.
You’ll talk through what’s happening, what you’re worried about, and what you hope for next.
No preparation required.
No obligations attached.
For many people, this first call alone brings relief.
A sense that this doesn’t have to be as heavy as it felt.
Organizing the Noise Into Clarity
Divorce comes with information.
Money, schedules, logistics, small details that feel too heavy when they’re scattered.
We help you gather and organize everything before mediation begins so the process stays calm and efficient.
You’ll prepare:
• Income and financial records
• Accounts and balances
• Debts and obligations
• Home and property details
• Parenting routines and needs
• Any special concerns about your children
This step creates stability.
And stability creates better decisions.
Calm Conversations That Lead Somewhere
This is where resolution starts to feel real.
You and your spouse meet together (online or in person) with Liz guiding the conversation.
The environment is neutral, respectful, and steady.
No courtroom pressure.
No one “wins.”
No one is blamed.
We address:
• Parenting arrangements
• Support calculations
• Financial division
• The family home
• Communication agreements
• Any emotional or logistical roadblocks
Most families complete the process in two or three sessions.
Everything moves at a pace that feels manageable.
Turning Clarity Into Paperwork
Once decisions are made, MINT drafts your formal mediated agreement.
It becomes the document your court recognizes.
Clear.
Complete.
Court-ready.
No confusion about what you agreed to.
No second guessing later.
Life, With Edges Softened
After your agreement is finalized, we guide you through filing and next steps.
You walk away with:
• A complete legal agreement
• A solid parenting plan (if applicable)
• Reduced legal expense
• Lower emotional strain
• A future you can feel steady entering
This is where weight lifts.
Not because it was easy—
but because it was done well
READY TO BEGIN?
Divorce is hard.
The process doesn’t have to be.
Why Families
Choose MINT
Divorce isn’t a transaction.
It’s emotional, financial, relational—and deeply human.
Families choose MINT because they want a process that feels intelligent and compassionate.
Here’s why they stay.
Mediation costs a fraction of litigation and saves families from emotional burnout disguised as process.
Courts move slowly.
Life doesn’t.
Mediation respects your time.
We build parenting plans that look ahead—not just through the divorce, but through the years after.
Nothing public. No courtroom exposure.
Quiet decisions.
Real peace.
We aren’t therapy.
But we’re not cold either.
This work is personal.
We treat it that way.
If you want clarity instead of chaos—you’re in the right place.

ABOUT LIZ ECKMAN
Guiding Change with Calm, Clarity, and Courage
You don’t just need a mediator.
You need someone who understands what this moment costs.
Someone who sees the grief behind the paperwork.
The uncertainty behind the numbers.
The future behind the fear.
That’s where Liz Eckman comes in.
Liz founded MINT after walking through divorce herself — an experience that showed her something most people aren’t told:
Endings don’t have to undo you. They can become the beginning of strength, clarity, and peace.
With a background in law, business, and emotional intelligence, Liz provides steady guidance in moments that otherwise feel unsteady.
For more than a decade, she supported attorneys and business owners through negotiations, contracts, and major life transitions.
But what truly defines her approach isn’t her résumé. It’s her lived experience.
“I know what it feels like to walk into a room heavy with tension and still want to do right by your children, your future, and yourself. I know how hard it is to keep your footing when your life feels like it’s shifting. That’s why I do this work — so you don’t have to navigate this season alone.”
Liz’s mediation style blends structure with compassion.
She creates a calm, clear environment where conversations don’t spiral, and decisions don’t get rushed. She listens carefully, asks the right questions, and keeps both feet on the ground — without losing sight of what matters emotionally.
Clients often describe her as steady, warm, and grounding.
The kind of person who doesn’t flinch when things get hard. The kind who keeps the conversation productive when emotions run high. The kind who helps you move forward instead of staying stuck.
This is mediation built on trust.
Not pressure.
Not fear.
Not tactics.
