Founded by Katherine Wong-Velasco, Cedarlight Mediation is rooted in deep HR experience, cross-cultural fluency, and a belief that conflict can lead to clarity, growth, and even transformation when handled with care.
As a first-generation Chinese-American with a background in both the Pacific Northwest and Asia, Katherine has built her career navigating complex workplace dynamics in both Fortune 500s and fast-growing early-stage companies. She’s mediated ADA disputes, co-founder conflicts, employee-manager breakdowns, and team dysfunctions. Always with an eye toward resolution, dignity, and aligned values.
Her approach is calm, strategic, and emotionally intelligent. Bridging business needs with human complexity.
“Conflict doesn't mean failure. It’s a sign something needs attention. I help people give it the right kind of attention and move forward.”
– Katherine Wong-Velasco
