Expat Life Coaching
I help you stop focusing on what you’ve given up and start loving your life abroad.
Do you find yourself questioning your decision to move abroad?
Living in an unfamiliar culture, language or role takes us out of our comfort zone and suddenly all of our doubts and insecurities rise to the surface. You want to blame the people around you; they just aren’t saying what they should be. You want to blame the government; it just isn’t doing things right. You keep thinking if only you were ‘home’ things would be different, things would be better.
The truth is you can’t and don’t need to control anyone or anything around you. You only need to learn to control yourself and your runaway brain. Using cognitive psychology based techniques, I can teach you to take back control of your brain and your life.
You can learn the techniques to lead the life you have always wanted no matter where you are living. You can ditch the resentment and the doubt so you can enjoy and even thrive in your new environment.
Do you want to start feeling better now?

What My Clients Say About XPat Life Coaching
From one day to the next, I lost my job due to the corona lockdown. I felt great uncertainty, lost and trapped in Panama. Ann helped me to develop a new way in this extreme situation. She supports me in transforming my powerlessness into creativity and to work on making my dream a reality. And I have work again. Now I see much more clearly the possibilities that I have and I remembered my self-confidence again. I have dealt with fears and uncertainties in a positive and enriching way.
I definitely recommend Xpat Life Coaching! Ann brought me back to the “ease of being” with her professional, smart and humorous way. I felt understood by her and she gave me very good and warm advice. She helped me to help myself.

I’ve worked with other coaches before who claimed to have all the answers, and with whom I was left feeling more lost and confused; I didn’t want that to happen again.
I’ve learned to have more confidence in what I bring to the table. As a result, I have been able to assert myself to be paid for work I used to do as a volunteer, have learned to prioritize things that serve me over being a caretaker and people pleaser all the time, and feel more confident in my networking. Most importantly, I’m feeling happier!
I would recommend Xpat Life Coaching to others. Ann has a wonderful way of inviting healthier, happier options in one’s thoughts and subsequent action steps with zero judgment, and lots of room for celebrating the good that already abounds inside oneself. Challenging my hardwired beliefs about myself became fun, and something I genuinely looked forward to each week. I feel stronger and more self assured thanks to Ann, and highly recommend her!
– Cathlene, American living in Switzerland
Before coaching I was doubting if I had made correct decisions and suffering from constant negative self talk. I got relief talking through things about which I felt “stuck”. I have been able to slow down the negativity in my head. I feel less anxious and depressed about what decisions I need to make.
Ann easily makes you feel at ease so you can discuss sensitive issues that may be happening. I would absolutely recommend XPat Life Coaching to others.
– Elizabeth, American living in Ecuador
Ann, was extremely professional, supportive, firm and attentive for the entire 6-week journey. At first I was very nervous to engage and discuss the way I felt about my personal situation. Within the first week, Ann made me think about how I was going to shift my thoughts and behaviour to create a better version of me. I feel I have some tools to refer to when difficult situations arise and strategies which I can use to create and think about the best possible outcome for me, moving forward!
– Joanne, Australian living in Germany
Before the XPat Life Coaching program I was feeling lost, home sick, and concerned about my lack of social interaction. If you want to learn about what attitude you should have, things that you can change in a disadvantageous situation, then the coaching is definitely helpful. I highly recommend this especially to the one who recently moved in and feels anxious about settling down in a foreign country.
– Jeongwon, Korean living in Switzerland
My concerns before coaching were being unable to let go of my past, feeling guilt about leaving, and being unable to enjoy my life here. Ann helped me see my current emotional state was wrapped up in things I could let go. Now I enjoy living and working here and am embracing this adventurous journey.
