My journey

From Canada to Czechia to Coaching

When I made the move to Prague I expected a fresh start. Instead I found myself overwhelmed, disconnected and unsure of who I was becoming. Navigating a new life from scratch left me feeling completely lost.

I know what it feels like to lose your confidence, your direction and wonder if this is really the life I came here to build. I have been exactly where you are and I made it through. That is why I partner with expats like you so you can make it through and build the life you came here for.

Overcoming Challenges & Finding My Way Forward

There was the language barrier, the loneliness and the lack of community. The overwhelm of not knowing my next step or what I actually wanted. I lost my confidence, my stability and my sense of direction. There were moments I wanted to give up. But I kept going. I took it one step at a time. Language, career, community, residency. Each one a step forward. Each one building the life I came here for.

I am here to help you do the same.

Helping Others Find Their Path

You are not alone. Many expats feel lonely, lost and disconnected, caught between who they were and who they want to become.

The overwhelm of navigating a new culture, building a new life and figuring out what comes next is exhausting.

You did not make this move to feel this way. I have been there. As an Erickson certified coach I meet you where you are.

Together we find your stability, confidence and direction.
