You Found Your Way Here. That Tells Me Something.
If you’re reading this, something brought you here. Maybe a post that named a thing you’d never said out loud. Maybe a quiet question you’ve been carrying for a while now.
Whatever it was — welcome. Take your time. Look around.
I work with women who moved abroad for someone else’s career and slowly lost sight of their own. Women who are good at making expat life work, and tired of being the only one who notices what it costs. If that’s you, you’re in the right place. Everything here is a door. You get to choose which one.
This Is Waiting For You
Connection
You Weren’t Meant to Do This Alone.
You’ve built social circles in every country. School gates, coffee mornings, the international club. And still — how many of those people know what this actually feels like from the inside?
Real connection here isn’t small talk over flat whites. It’s women who don’t need the loneliness or the identity shifts explained to them, because they’re living a version of the same thing.
That community lives inside Your Choice, my group programme — a small circle of women doing this work together. If you’re not ready for that yet, the free Expat Women Facebook group is an open door, no commitment.
Clarity
Remember What Was Yours.
You didn’t move countries to lose yourself. But somewhere between the relocation paperwork and everyone else’s needs, the question of what you want got quieter.
This isn’t about finding yourself, as though you were lost. You’re not lost. You’ve been busy — holding a family, a home, a whole international life together, often alone.
The work here is simpler and harder than “finding yourself.” It’s letting the question back in. What do you actually want? Everything I offer starts there. It’s Your Choice.
Moving Forward
When You’re Ready to Move.
Awareness is where it starts. It’s not where it ends.
Plenty of women recognise the pattern and then let the week close back over it. Nothing changes, because insight on its own has nowhere to live. What makes it hold is company, structure, and a bit of time.
That’s what the programme is for — coaching, real conversations, and women who understand your life because they share it. When you’re ready to take what you’ve named and actually do something with it, that’s the door.
Hi, I'm Heike.
You may have found your way here from my main page — so you already know the professional side: the leadership work, the countries, the lecturing. I won’t repeat it. Here’s the part that matters for you.
I followed a partner abroad and rebuilt a life from scratch, more than once — with children, and without the anchor of my own career waiting on the other side. I know what it costs to keep starting over. And I know what it feels like to look up one day and wonder whether you traded your own direction for someone else’s posting.
I also know what it takes to come back from that — to stop shrinking, and to build a life that feels like yours again. Not a dramatic reinvention. Something quieter. Remembering what was yours, and choosing it again.
That’s the work I do with expat women now. No hype, no five-step system. Honest conversation, real recognition, and the space to work out what you actually want — on your terms, at your pace.
Because you didn’t come this far just to disappear into everyone else’s life.
Quick Snapshot:
6 international moves as the trailing partner
3 children raised in 4 countries
20+ years living the expat life from the inside
9 years coaching and supporting expat women
Do You Want to Turn Your Life Abroad Into the Life You Chose?
Not a reinvention. Just a way back to what was always yours — your direction, your ambitions, your own voice.
The first step is one you take alone. After that, you won’t be doing it on your own — you’ll have me, and women who understand your life because they’re living a version of it too.
Your Choice Programme
Be Your First Choice
A powerful intensive programme to help you reconnect with your identity, your voice, and your purpose – without guilt or apology.
Do you ask yourself …
… how you can take back control of your Expat Life?
You've supported everyone else - your partner, your kids, your community - but feel lost inside.
You feel invisible, even though you live a "dream life" abroad.
You've had enough of putting yourself last.
You're done waiting for permission.
You're ready to find your voice, claim your space, and feel alive again.
You’re not broken. You’re buried. Let’s dig you out.
What My Clients Say
Heike’s coaching helped me understand my values and professional desires for the first time in years. I could speak openly, without judgement or pressure, and walk away with competent, emotionally intelligent support that genuinely moved me forward.
I truly appreciated Heike’s holding of space for us to explore ourselves and what it is that we want for ourselves. Heike built a safe space and through her invitation to get curious about ourselves meant being transported to a place of reflection and receiving powerful insights to move forward with energy and inspiration.
Heike creates a relaxed space where it becomes easy to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface and translate it into action. Her questions invite real reflection. I left knowing exactly what my next step was.
When you want to make true growth on yourself, you need a safe place where you can shed off all the extra skins and find the source of your real intention to grow. Heike provided that from the beginning, allowing myself to see where exactly I was then, where I want to be and why. Her coaching was never loud nor taking ownership away from me for my progress, but guided me to explore without being lost.
Why You Should Not Miss this Chance to Turn Your Expat Life Around
Your time is now. There will never be a better moment. Waiting for the right moment will only keep you stuck in the same loop — watching life happen instead of living it. The change you’re hoping for begins the moment you decide to take it.
If You …
… feel you are disconnected from your needs and wants.
… feel empty and you turned on survival mode to cope with daily expat life.
… want to reconnect with the woman you were before the labels – before trailing spouse, expat mom, or outsider.
… ask yourself when there will be time for your dreams.
… don’t want to be grateful and quiet anymore, but live your life to the fullest and ask for more..
During and After the Programme …
… you will exactly know where you want to go and what you want to do with your Expat Life.
… you will create routines that help you focus and set boundaries to safeguard your precious time.
… you will learn to listen to your inner voice, follow your impulses and eliminate self-limiting beliefs.
… you will find a community of like-minded women who will lift you up, inspire you, and hold you accountable.
… you will ignite your inner spark and feel alive again – without guilt.
This programme will help you reconnect with yourself, take action, and transform your expat life. I will share with you my knowledge from over 20 years of expat life. You will gain clarity on your goals and stay focused. You will also have access to a community for inspiration and accountability.
The Change You’re Hoping for Begins the Moment You Decide to Take It.
Being in the driver’s seat of your Expat Life is not a coincidence;
it is about focus, priorities, and listening to your inner voice.
