Who We Are

As your teammate & partner, together, we build upon the heart and humanity of what already exists. We know that those closest to the issues carry so much wisdom within themselves, and often simply desire a facilitation process that creates a safe space that allows for a discovery process that gets to the core issues. We are your partners in that discovery. Welcome to the team.

Natasha Lapcinski
Founder & Director of Dialogue Up

Natasha is a daughter, sister, aunt, partner, friend, and community member who is committed to seeing the humanity in everyone. She is the daughter of Joe & Claudia, and the Granddaughter of Patricia. While her more formal mentorship into Restorative Practices came from Monika Audette and the late Alice Lynch, she equates much of her upbringing to have been the greatest teacher of how she manifests a restorative & healing mindset, particularly how her Grandmother interacted with the world around her.
