Hi, I’m Hannah
I work with people before a major relocation, who feel stuck in limbo, torn between staying or going—and after a major relocation, when they’re in the weeds wondering “was this a huge mistake?”.
They’re in the middle of a major life decision and they don’t need more opinions or relentless positivity. They need a way to move forward.
I help them stop spiralling and trust their next step so they can leave the familiar behind and embrace the next adventure.
Starting again takes courage, willingness and quite honestly some balls!
Even if you’re starting again back home (in fact especially if).
You're not alone if...
You're not alone if...
You’re pondering a big move
One minute you’re certain about the move, the next you’re spinning in “what ifs.”
You’re overwhelmed by all the logistics, emotions, and pressure to make the right decision about your relocation.
You crave clarity and direction but are paralysed by fear, guilt, or the weight of others’ expectations.
You’re wondering if it was the right move
You feel disconnected from your old identity, caught between cultures and roles.
You feel unsupported, misunderstood, and unsure who to talk to about it (if you have a partner, they’re tired of hearing it)
It’s the little things that should be simple that require twenty extra steps that make you absolutely lose it
My Journey
I get it, because I’ve been exactly where you are - moving abroad, and moving back home (and then abroad again).
My first big leap was in 2010. I left the UK with a one-way ticket to Vietnam, where I taught English in Ho Chi Minh City. I was a dyslexic woman in my twenties about to teach English in a country I had never even visited. I was way out of my comfort zone, scared and curious and craving a life full of something…more.
But let’s rewind even further
I grew up between cultures. My mum is English, my dad is Swiss. We’d spend our holidays road-tripping across Europe, changing languages (well my parents would!), navigating border crossings, figuring it out as we went. Travel was normal. So was adapting. I even took a gap year to travel around the world before uni.
That early exposure to movement and change helped shape me. I’ve always been drawn to new places, new ways of living, and creating community wherever I land.
In Vietnam, I found a version of myself I hadn’t met before. I trained as a yoga teacher, met my Aussie husband, and began building a life I hadn’t planned but deeply loved.
This is what taking off for the unknown has to offer: A future you never could have imagined.
Then we relocated to Australia, moving back and forth between Melbourne and Brisbane. We loved it—I grew my yoga business and had friends and family nearby.
But it hasn’t always been easy.
2023 was the year I burned out
After my husband lost his job in the airline industry due to the pandemic, it was clear we couldn’t make it work on my yoga-teaching alone, we had to make the decision to move in with my parents back in the UK while my husband found work.
Coming home again was a challenge, especially at the age of 38 with my husband and dog in tow.
That wasn’t part of my life plan! After Australia, the UK felt so small, cramped, untidy, so many potholes (yet how beautiful and green the countryside is!). I reconnected with places and people where I grew up, which was so bittersweet. Walking with my dog, going to the pub. But I’d had a life I’d built in Australia, my work as a yoga teacher was going so well there. The moment we moved, that ended, and I felt like I lost my purpose—and moving back in with my parents, I felt like I’d lost the ability to be an adult.
Due to my husband’s work, we had to move where he could get a work visa—which brought us to the US. While he was training in the new job we then moved interstate every month for 5 months in a row until we moved to Atlanta in 2023. Going from always having people around me to none over night and no transport of my own, those first ten months where the most isolating time in my life, and I had to figure out how to rebuild from here.
Navigating all of these transitions has led me to the following conclusions:
Making friends, being open to new experiences, letting go to move on — these are my superpowers, but they are not enough.
What you need to make a big move is to not wait for a “perfect” scenario, and to stop worrying about making a wrong decision. There is no perfect scenario, and there is no wrong choice. You can always course-correct. I keep that mentality with every move we make.
What you need to find your feet in the new location (or back home) is to slow down, tune back into your values, stop trying to force certainty and listen to yourself. What helped me was to work with a coach and let myself be supported through the hardest moments - and everything changed.
That’s what I help my clients do.
Listen, if you don’t feel grounded before you move, it’s unlikely you’ll feel grounded after.
My clients don’t just “make a decision.”
They walk away saying:
“I trust myself again.”
“I stopped waiting for certainty to arrive.”
“I’m no longer spiralling in doubt.”
“I feel more grounded, more me.”
“I know what I’m choosing, and why.”
“I’m not scared of messing it all up anymore.”
“I’m excited.”
My Approach
I’m not here to hand you a checklist or tell you what to do.
(That’s what Google’s for.)
I’m here to help you:
→ Get clear on what you actually want
→ Learn to trust your gut again
→ Work with your nervous system (not against it)
→ Release the pressure to get it all “right”
→ Build confidence in your direction, whether you're preparing to go or adjusting to being there
→Navigate change with more ease—so you can move forward instead of feeling stuck
I bring 15+ years of personal relocating experience, 12+ years of mindfulness and yoga teaching, and professional coaching training.
But mostly, I bring deep empathy.
Because I’ve been there.
Stuck. Overwhelmed. Trying to please everyone.
Wanting a plan but not knowing where to start.
Because whether you’re moving to a new country, a new city, or just feel like you're about to leave an old version of yourself behind…
you deserve to feel good about the life you're stepping into, not just the one you're leaving behind.
Let’s help you move forward, not just move house.
FUN FACTS ABOUT ME
( a.k.a. reasons we’d probably get on)

I've locked myself out of my house in at least three different countries. Great way to meet your neighbours while waiting for housemate or partner, terrible for your stress levels.
-

My accent is a mix of British roots, Aussie slang, and now a dash of Southern American. No wonder some people have a hard time pinpointing where I’m from.

I moved my dog Phoenix from Australia to the UK during a global pandemic, then to the US. She's the reason I’ve made 100% of my friends in the US.

Who knew chicken n’ waffles was the missing piece in my life until Atlanta. (Maple syrup and chicken are my new favourite combo!)
-

I've watched Sex and the City at least 15 times and now hate-watch the reboot like it’s a medieval sport.

I studied music at university with dreams of becoming a music therapist… until I realised I’d need serious piano skills (which I absolutely did not have). So, I just went travelling instead!

My xe ôm (motorbike) driver in Vietnam became one of my best mates and would often randomly turn up at my door with bags of vegetables and fruit for me.
