About The Clean Divorce
With The Clean Divorce, I strive to create a safe space for you to gain compassionate advice, support, and deep understanding. I am passionately committed to helping others in their relationships with their families while guiding them to a place of self-empowerment.
Unresolved conflict can be costly to your emotional and physical health as well as your finances. The Clean Divorce focuses on conflict resolution and developing constructive, collaborative agreements that support healthy and productive relationships while being time and cost effective.
About Me
I’m Suzanne Winlove-Smith, an accredited Family Mediator, Relationship & Divorce Coach. I started The Clean Divorce when I came to realize how few resources were available to those going through relationship breakdown. When I was immersed in the experience of my own divorce, I saw how important it was to create a new way forward.
Working with couples in numerous court systems in Eastern Ontario equipped me with extensive skills in divorce support, counselling, and mediation. My experience with my own divorce gave me invaluable insight that has further inspired me to create simple and empowering solutions for individuals facing their own relationship challenges. I am also the current President of the Ottawa Chapter of the OAFM
