About Leyla’s Role

As Co-Founder of Mediation Mastery, Leyla Balakhane brings over fifteen years of experience in divorce and family mediation, leadership, and professional training.
She serves as:

  • Board Member, Southern California Mediation Association (SCMA)
  • Board Member, Academy of Professional Family Mediators (APFM)
  • Recipient of the 2023 SCMA President’s Award

Why This Training Stands Out

  • Meets DRPA requirements
  • Eligible for MCLE credit (pending approval)
  • Includes in-person summit experience
  • Focuses on both skill mastery and business development
  • Builds long-term professional community

This is more than a certification course — it is a professional transformation experience.
