Rooted in Calm
Calm brings peace of mind, greater satisfaction and mental clarity. Let’s explore your map of the world to understand how you arrived in Leiden, literally and figuratively, then plot the next steps to cultivate your authentic expat life.
You might feel like you are failing at everything, and this can destroy your self-confidence.
In our hyper-connected world, it is easy to be connected ALL THE TIME while feeling disconnected from ourselves and those around us because we are so busy doing, which can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed.
As an expat, to others it looks like you have it all together, while inside you are desperately trying to keep all the balls you are juggling in the air. The trouble is you end up spreading yourself too thin and never feel like you can complete anything properly, having real consequences. Maybe you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep due to worry or are having one too many glasses of wine at night, or even have a twitchy eye or pain in your chest.

Lasting change takes time, the good news is the benefits of a calmer living can be felt immediately.
Your journey to calm is supported by three pillars; wellbeing, confidence and resilience.
How I work
I bring a laid-back, open-minded, international perspective. I have lived in seven countries, traveled to more than fifty and worked with countless countries across the globe. I know how easy it is to lose yourself along the way, of course, your confidence can take a hit. I also understand what it’s like when you are in challenging roles or running a household or business, you always feel like you are always switched on, prioritizing everything except yourself.
I am not a magician I cannot create more hours in a day, I can help you establish daily routines that support the outcomes you desire and get ruthless about what you are allocating your attention to.
It’s not easy, but I have learned to slow down and create that time to reconnect with myself. This is why I feel compelled to share my own experience and expertise to help others improve their emotional, mental and physical well-being. Being your journey to calm.
