Become a thriving international

Are you an international living abroad? A new country often brings about new challenges; learning a new language, adapting to a new culture and finding your way, while having your safety-net in another country, can be challenging.

Coaching is for internationals, who seek guidance with: 
✔︎  Identifying and achieving their goals 
✔︎  Finding their purpose
✔︎  Coping with anxiety, loneliness or homesickness, caused by relocation
✔︎  Coping with the physical & emotional distance between where you currently live and the other place you call "home". 
Coaching by Life Coach Ria van Doorn.
