for Expats
Support for expats navigating transitions, identity shifts, and decisions across cultures when familiar ways no longer fit.
Having built my life and career across five countries, I know what it means to question identity, belonging, and direction — not as an abstract idea, but as lived reality.
At times, the complexity shows up in surprisingly ordinary places. Tasks that once felt simple require more effort. Familiar routines disappear. Even the idea of home begins to expand, shift, and transform. A sense of who you are may be questioned, and building relationships, communicating effectively, and succeeding in a new cultural context often requires far more intentional focus than before. With this, there are fewer clear or automatic answers to everyday questions.
Some people choose this life consciously — drawn by opportunity, curiosity, or growth. Others relocate because circumstances require it — work, family, safety, or change beyond their control. Either way, familiar support systems fall away, and questions that once had easy answers no longer do. Having the right kind of support during this phase can make navigating it feel less heavy and more manageable.
This experience often opens a deeper process: reassessing who you are in this new context, what you value now, and how you want to live and work going forward — especially when moving abroad is not only about your own success, but also about creating stability, meaning, and direction for those around you: partners, children, family, and community.
Grounded in lived experience
This is for you if:
- You’re considering a possible relocation and want space to reflect on what to prepare, what to question, and whether it’s the right decision for you.
- You sometimes feel in between places — no longer fully at home back home, and not yet at home where you are.
- Familiar ways of thinking, working, or relating no longer fully fit your current context.
- Direction feels unclear, even if you’re doing “well” from the outside.
- You’re navigating questions of identity and belonging.
- You sense this transition is asking you to redefine or reinvent yourself, not just adapt.
- You feel, in some ways, that you’re being asked to start from scratch — personally, professionally, or both.
- You want to reduce unnecessary drama, shorten the adaptation period, and create space for more
ease and joy in your life abroad.
Start with a conversation
Sometimes the next step isn’t an answer —
it’s a conversation.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. Many clients come with a sense that something feels unclear or unresolved — and we start there.
The work is confidential, thoughtful, and shaped collaboratively, always with care for context, culture, and your lived experience.
I meet you where you are.
No commitment. No pressure.
