About Mediation
and Conflict Resolution

The founder and her background
Transform cultural misunderstandings into opportunities for connection —let’s talk, listen, and build bridges together.
My journey from a lawyer in Mexico to a mediator in Ireland taught me that conflict often stems from unspoken cultural differences, not just disagreements. A simple, well-intentioned greeting from my own culture once created awkwardness, highlighting how deeply our norms are ingrained.
Now, through Speak Up Mediation Services, I use that lived experience to bridge divides. I specialize in intercultural mediation, combining my legal background with a deep understanding of the challenges faced in a multicultural environment. My work helps people navigate differences in communication, build rapport, and transform diversity from a barrier into a source of strength.
In our diverse world, conflict is not a sign of failure, but a catalyst for deeper understanding and growth. We transform it into a positive force through empathetic and culturally aware dialogue.

A Multicultural and Inclusive Approach
- Yuriria’s work is deeply shaped by her own journey of cultural integration. Having experienced migration herself, she understands the emotional, social, and legal challenges involved. This fuels her passion for intercultural mediation, where communication breakdowns and cultural differences often play a central role in conflict.
- Her ability to work fluently across English and Spanish, and her sensitivity to cultural dynamics, make Speak Up Mediation Services particularly well-suited to Ireland’s increasingly diverse society.

Testimonials
I’m Argentine and living in Dublin, and sometimes it can be hard to find support in Spanish… Working with Yuriria was such a huge relief! I felt understood, supported, and very well guided at all times — whether in person, over the phone, or by message. She’s a very kind, approachable, and dedicated professional. Sharing the same language and cultural background made all the difference. I highly recommend her!
As a separated parent going through a sensitive family situation, having Yuriria as a mediator made all the difference. From day one, I felt heard, supported, and understood without pressure or judgment. She helped guide the process clearly and calmly, which made everything feel much more manageable. Her experience working with international families was especially helpful, as she truly understands the added layers that can come with cross cultural dynamics. I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for professional, human support during family transitions.
Going through a difficult time is never easy, but finding Yuri, truly made a difference. From the moment I reached out, I felt supported, respected, and genuinely listened to.
She was patient and created a safe space where I could speak openly without fear of judgment.
I’m deeply grateful for the care and dedication shown throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her service to anyone facing a tough situation. Sometimes, the right help at the right time can change everything, and for me, this was it.
