About Us

Our Story

After relocating with our own families, we realized that most people aren’t given adequate support or preparation for the immense personal and practical challenges that this transition entails. It doesn’t have to be this way - each person shouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel or waste valuable time on avoidable mistakes. We’ve been through it and will guide and support you every step along the way.

Our Mission

Our mission is to give relocating families the resources, support, and guidance they need to live fulfilling lives anywhere in the world.

We help you transition smoothly, adapt more quickly, make confident relocation decisions, reduce stress, and create a life that you and your family are genuinely happy in.

All of our team members have experienced the challenges and joys of international lives ourselves, and have years of experience supporting relocating families. Our Relocation Coaches are certified life coaches through ICF-accredited coach training programs.
