Rooted Anywhere
A coaching community for the emotional realities of life abroad.
Moving abroad changes more than your address.
It changes your routines, relationships, identity, and sense of belonging.
While there are countless resources to help you move abroad, far fewer exist to support what comes after you've unpacked the boxes.
That’s where Rooted Anywhere comes in….
Rooted Anywhere is an 8-week coaching program that supports you through the part of building a life abroad that nobody prepared you for.
Together, we'll navigate the challenges that often go unspoken: missing the everyday moments back home, wondering where you fit in, rebuilding community from scratch, feeling like parts of yourself get lost in translation, and creating a sense of home in a place that's still becoming familiar.
You'll turn reflection into action as you clarify what you need most in this season, explore new possibilities, and develop intentional practices that help you cultivate connection, stability, and belonging. Each week, you'll receive guidance, encouragement, and accountability from both your coach and a community of people who truly understand what you're experiencing.
What to Expect
Each week, we'll gather for a live coaching session centered around a different aspect of building a life abroad. Together, we'll explore the emotional realities of relocation, connect with others who understand the experience firsthand, and leave with practical tools, guided reflection, and intentional next steps to support you between sessions.
During our first week together, we'll get to know one another, establish shared community agreements, and set personal goals that will help guide your experience throughout the program. Each week's topic builds on the last, creating space to reflect, grow, and integrate what you're learning as you create a life abroad that feels grounded and authentically yours.

Hi, I’m Dana
Before I was a therapist and coach, I was a kid growing up abroad. During my earliest and most formative years, I learned what it meant to leave behind familiar places, start over in new ones, and recreate a sense of home again and again. Over the years, I've built a life in nearly a dozen different places, and I know firsthand that moving abroad changes far more than your address.
That lived experience shaped the work I do today.
As a licensed therapist and coach, I've spent my career helping people navigate identity, belonging, trauma, and transition. I've had the privilege of supporting refugees rebuilding their lives in the United States, as well as individuals navigating major life changes, relationships, and questions of who they are and where they belong. While every relocation story is different, I've found that many of the emotional experiences we carry—grief, loneliness, uncertainty, and the search for connection—are remarkably universal.
I created Rooted Anywhere because I believe no one should have to navigate the emotional realities of building a life abroad alone. My hope is that this program becomes a place where you feel seen, understood, and supported by people who truly get it, while also gaining practical tools to help you create a life that feels grounded, connected, and authentically yours.
