Transform your expat life
1:1 guidance for a positive life abroad
Do you feel like the excitement of living abroad is sometimes hidden behind uncertainty, stress and doubt about your new life?
You know you have what it takes to THRIVE ABROAD, but something just isn't quite right...
You're Not Alone!
You made the empowering choice of living a life worth living in another country; and deep down you know you have within you what it takes to realize your dream of creating a life you enjoy living, no matter where you are.
But let’s be real—this life isn’t always the dream you had in mind:
- Even though from the outside it may look like you're thriving, beneath the surface, it's another story.
- Your mind races at night with stress and uncertainty.
'Will I ever feel truly settled?', 'Is this move really leading to the better quality of life I imagined?', 'Did I make the right decision for me and my loved ones?' - You find yourself in a constant game of push and pull trying to solve the situation.
- You may feel the pressure of navigating a new culture, handling paperwork, or adjusting to the unpredictable challenges of life abroad. And despite filling your schedule with nice activities, work, and new experiences, you can’t shake the feeling of anxiety, stress or even burnout creeping in.
- You’re caught between wanting to build this positive life you dreamed of, and feeling like you're losing yourself in the process.
- ... and you sometimes find yourself sitting on the couch wondering: "Ok now what?! what should I do next...?"
Expat burnout is real
with 70% of expats moving to Europe experiencing burnout and reporting high levels of stress and fatigue.
This was our story too.
Thirty-three (OMG!) years ago, we made our first move to a new country, not knowing where the journey would take us.
Eight relocations later (for each of us), we learned a thing or two; ok actually plenty! about moving abroad and living in a foreign country.
We did it the WRONG way; crying, anxious, feeling overwhelmed, miserable, frustrated, stressed - you name it.
And we did it the RIGHT WAY! We understood the processes, approached the logistics right, feeling empowered, confident, good with our choice and all that we have to deal with.
Our experience showed that the GAME CHANGER to create a POSITIVE life abroad comes from the combination of knowledge AND mindset.
"I can’t believe the difference in how I handle stress since starting this journey. It’s been life-changing!"
- Emma L.
"The personalized roadmap was exactly what I needed to feel in control of my life again."
- Oliver M.
You Didn't Move Abroad Just to Survive the Journey…
You embarked on this adventure because you dreamed of a better life, not one where you're constantly telling yourself, "Once I get the visa, the flat, the kids settled, the career in place, and the language down—then it will feel right."
But deep down, you know that waiting for everything to fall into place isn’t the answer.
This journey is about more than just ticking off boxes and pushing through.
It’s about feeling at peace, confident in your choices, and enjoying the life you’ve created abroad right now. With the right combination of mindset training and practical knowledge, you can stop surviving and start living the life you envisioned when you took the leap to move abroad.
Let’s help you create a positive, fulfilling life where you’re not just waiting for things to get better, but making them better today.

"Moving to France with my family of four was tough. I had to juggle a new school system, language barriers, and endless paperwork, all while trying to ensure my wife and kids were okay. The support I got during our sessions helped me tackle my stress and the challenges one step at a time. Now, we’re finally starting to really enjoy our life here"
- Chris R.
"As someone who had lived abroad before, I thought I knew what to expect. But I really wasn't prepared for those past 6 months. It was good, but also hard. In just 3 sessions I gained a new perspective on my experiences and developed tools to overcome the challenges. I now feel grounded and so much happier in my new home!"
- Maria G.
"I've been dreaming of moving to Lisbon for so long, but I couldn’t bring myself to actually go for it. It felt impossible with too many unknowns, and I got lost in the process. We’ve been working together for 3 months now, and it's a game-changer! I just booked my flight and found a co-living space! OMG I’m finally going to realize this dream."
- Lucy H.

Maayan Szmelcman
Mindfulness Coach
Hi, I’m Maayan – a mindfulness coach, energy healer, and proud mom of two girls. I know firsthand how overwhelming expat life can be, especially when anxiety creeps in.
A few years ago, after attempting a move to Nigeria with my family, I faced an anxiety attack that left me feeling like I was about to die (no kidding). But instead of turning to medication, I dove deep into inner work—yoga, mindset training, and Ho'oponopono practices. It wasn’t an easy path, but I found my way back to myself, naturally.
As someone who's relocated 7 times (and lived in countless cities as a kid, teen, adult, and now a mom), I understand the rollercoaster of emotions that come with moving abroad. Through all the ups and downs, I’ve learned how to see the good, find balance, and help hundreds of expats do the same—no matter where they are in the world.
On a lighter note, I’m the eldest sister in my family (yes Gal is my younger sister), and when stress hits, you can often find me standing on my hands to relax or turning my worries into songs! Curiosity and Growth drive me, and I can’t wait to help you explore what’s possible in your life abroad.

Gal Szmelcman-Sela
Positive Psychology Coach
Hi, I’m Gal – a positive psychology coach passionate about helping people create lives they truly enjoy. After burning out in my fast-paced advertising career and dealing with an overwhelming, exhausting expat experience, I knew something had to change. With the help of a life coach, I did serious inner work, reconnected with myself, and found my joy again.
I’ve moved 8 times—Paris, Tel Aviv, London, Dublin, New York—and each experience taught me something new. I've relocated as a kid and moved for love and studies, but it wasn’t until I moved for ME that I figured out how to do it in a way that felt right.
Over the years, I've coached countless expats and helped them navigate the mental and emotional challenges of life abroad, plus adopting a positive mindset as the key to thriving.
Fun facts? I hang positive post-its and quotes to keep my head in the right space and dance my heart out when I’m feeling overwhelmed! Hope is my top character strength, and I can’t wait to help you create a life abroad that feels as good as it looks.
Gal
