About Cat — Supporting expats who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or far from home
Finding Balance in Your Expat Journey
You may long for a sense of calm, clarity, or feeling at home within yourself🌿 About Me
Life abroad can be full of contrasts — beautiful and exciting on the outside, yet confusing, lonely, or draining underneath. You may long for a sense of calm, clarity, or feeling at home within yourself. When everything around you changes, even your inner stability can feel uncertain.
I’m Cat — a nature-based coach and somatic trauma therapist, as well as a wife and mother. I’m also a registered psychosocial therapist (NFG). I work with expats who want to reconnect with themselves, find emotional steadiness, and feel at home again — both in their new surroundings and in their own bodies.
Depending on your needs, we work in two ways, where nature helps you slow down, breathe, and gain perspective. Others happen indoors, in a calm, private space where body-oriented trauma therapy offers depth and safety for processing what feels too heavy to carry alone.
With over twenty years of experience in the social field, and a background in body-oriented trauma therapy, I bring together nature’s grounding presence and trauma-informed care. Together, we explore what your body already knows — so you can release tension, rebuild trust in yourself, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Navigating Life After an Expat Move: Support and Guidance
🌿 After a big move…
After a big move, many expats tell me they no longer recognize themselves. The routines that once gave comfort are gone, emotions feel unpredictable, and even simple daily life feels heavier than it “should.”
This isn’t a personal failure — it’s your nervous system responding to change. Whether we meet outdoors in nature or indoors for deeper trauma-focused sessions, our work begins with helping your body feel safe again. From that grounded place, clarity and resilience naturally follow.
Through nature-based coaching and somatic trauma therapy, I help you:
🌱 Regain perspective and hope when everything feels uncertain
🤍 Process emotions safely, instead of carrying them alone
🌍 Build steady steps toward belonging — in your new home, and in yourself
The goal is simple: to move from disoriented and overwhelmed, to grounded, resilient, and ready to thrive in your new life abroad.
Work With Me
Reaching out can be the first step.— sometimes that step is simply reaching out.
Whether you’re looking to find calm in the chaos of expat life, or to process something deeper that your body still carries, there’s space for you here.
We work in two ways, depending on what you need most:
Nature-Based Coaching
For when you feel stuck, restless, or overwhelmed by change.
Our sessions take place outdoors — walking, sitting, or reflecting in nature — where fresh air and open space help your thoughts settle. Together, we explore what’s holding you back, reconnect with your values, and create steady steps toward balance and clarity.
Somatic Trauma Therapy
For when you’re ready to go deeper and address the emotional or physical effects of stress, burnout, or trauma.
These sessions take place indoors, in a calm and private setting, where body-based awareness and gentle guidance help release what words alone can’t reach. You’ll learn to listen to your body’s signals, build safety from within, and restore your natural resilience.
Both paths begin with a free introductory call, where we talk about your situation, answer your questions, and find what feels right for you — no pressure, just a moment to connect.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own. 
Let’s find your next step — together.
