  • Ryan McLaughlin and Kate McLaughlin are husband and wife co-founders of Flannel People Mediation (FPM), a restorative mediation and conflict resolution practice. “Flannel People” represents the duo’s mission, strategy, and ideal clients: out-of-court, warm and approachable, and built on time-tested practices and patterns. 

  • Ryan is a former lawyer. He brings five years of attorney experience. He has mediated and/or litigated divorces, custody battles, commercial business disputes, juvenile matters, and more. Now, his focus is on out-of-court conflict resolution that maintains the integrity of all parties involved. 

  • Kate is a trained Restorative Family Mediation practitioner trained by The Katallasso Group. As a former collegiate soccer coach and youth mentor, her philosophical focus is on family systems, intergenerational trauma, and attachment theory.
