Welcome
I’m Loretta—Certified Transformational Life & Expat Coach.
I help women navigate big life changes: moving to a new country, returning home after years abroad, redefining their purpose, or simply figuring out what’s next when everything feels up in the air.
â
If you’re juggling family, career, and all the daily demands while quietly wondering, “What about me?”—you’re not alone. I see you. And I can help.
I know how overwhelming it can be—because I’ve lived it. I’ve packed up more times than I can count, moved across countries, started over while raising three kids, and tried to keep everyone else grounded while I felt anything but. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, out of place, or unsure of where you belong.
â
But I also know there’s a way through it. With the right support, change can become a turning point—not just something to survive, but something that helps you grow.
â
Now, I work with women like you—expats, repats, and anyone facing a major life shift. Together, we’ll cut through the noise, manage the emotional and practical challenges, and build a life that feels more aligned, more balanced, and more like you. You don’t have to do this alone.
â
Let’s help you thrive!
I work with women who are juggling the roles of partner, parent, and professional—often holding it all together on the outside, but quietly feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected on the inside. Maybe you’ve just relocated or returned home after years abroad, and life feels unfamiliar. Or you’re facing a big transition—personally or professionally—that’s left you questioning where you fit in all of it. I get it. I’ve lived it.
â
My mission is to create a down-to-earth, compassionate space where you can take a breath, reconnect with yourself, and figure out what really matters to you—not just what’s expected.
In our coaching, we’ll explore the beliefs, habits, and patterns that might be holding you back. The stuff you’ve tucked away—your needs, your dreams, your doubts—we’ll bring those into the light.
This isn’t about reinventing yourself; it’s about coming home to who you are now. Using a mix of practical tools and transformational strategies, we’ll work together to build clarity, confidence, and resilience—so you can step into your next chapter feeling grounded and in control.
Whether you're navigating relocation, repatriation, or simply a season of change, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I'm here to walk beside you.
My Intention for You…
â
My goal is simple—to help you navigate life’s transitions with clarity, confidence, and purpose, so you can rediscover who you truly are beyond the roles you play. Whether you’re adjusting to life abroad, repatriating to the UK, or facing a major personal shift, you deserve to move forward without self-doubt, overwhelm, or uncertainty.
â
Together, we’ll shift the beliefs, patterns, and self-doubt that have been keeping you stuck—empowering you to think differently, feel differently, and step into your next chapter with confidence and ease.
â
My Coaching Approach:
I’m a Transformational Life & Expat Coach and a Certified PASEDA360® Advanced Practitioner, with years of experience guiding women through life’s biggest changes—whether it’s relocation, career shifts, or personal growth. My coaching combines practical strategies with deep mindset work, ensuring you gain real, lasting transformation—not just temporary insight.
â
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach because your journey is unique. Instead, our work together will be tailored to your specific goals and challenges, focusing on the life you truly want to create.
â
What Makes My Coaching Different?
-
Mindset & Emotional Resilience: Shift limiting beliefs, rebuild confidence, and embrace change with strength.
-

-
Holistic Transformation: A balanced approach that tackles both the emotional and practical sides of change.
-
Boundary Setting & Balance: Learn how to protect your energy, set boundaries, and prioritise yourself—without guilt.
â
This isn’t about quick fixes or generic advice—it’s about creating deep, meaningful transformation that leaves you feeling grounded, empowered, and aligned with who you truly are.
â
Together, we’ll uncover what’s been holding you back, redefine your path, and create a life that feels fulfilling, balanced, and truly yours. Let’s make it happen.
ââ
The Expat - Finding Their Place
You’ve relocated for your partner’s job, seeking adventure and opportunity—but beneath the excitement, you feel unsettled, disconnected, or unsure of your own path. You’re managing the logistics of the move, supporting your family’s transition, and trying to create a sense of belonging for yourself—and it’s exhausting.
You may feel caught between two worlds, struggling to balance your own ambitions with the needs of your family. Together, we’ll navigate the emotional and practical challenges of expat life, helping you feel grounded, confident, and truly at home—wherever you are.
The Individual Returning Home & Facing Repatriation
You thought moving back would feel familiar—but instead, you feel out of place. The world you left behind hasn’t stood still, and you’ve changed too. Now, it feels like you’re living between two identities—one foot in your expat past and one in a “home” that doesn’t quite feel like yours anymore.
Together, we’ll work through the emotional, practical, and identity shifts of repatriation—helping you rediscover where you belong, reconnect with yourself, and build a life that reflects who you are now, not just who you were before.
ââââ
The Individual in Transition
You’re stepping into a big life change—a career shift, empty nest, or personal transformation—and you’re asking, “What’s next?” You’ve spent years putting everyone else first, and now that it’s your turn, you feel a little lost in the in-between.
We’ll explore what this next chapter could look like for you, helping you rediscover your purpose, build confidence, resilience and move forward with intention, clarity, and a renewed sense of excitement.

- Emma
Loretta is a great coach with a caring and nurturing style. Her empathic approach will help you to navigate life's struggles with grace. I would really recommend her!
- Ann
Loretta was a huge help to me a few years ago when I was struggling to balance running my own business, a marriage break up, looking after my children and moving home. It had all become too much and the lady I had met by chance at the school gates soon become my coach, supporting me daily with decisions , rebuilding my confidence and being generally my light at the end of the tunnel. Over time she helped me get things in order, remind me of my own capabilities , taught me how to be resilient and above all learn to enjoy the busy life that had become overwhelming. She is a calm and reassuring voice , nothing is too much and her consistent support meant so much.

If you’re here, you’re likely juggling the demands of family, career, and relocating, all while trying to hold onto your own identity. Maybe you’re wondering, “Where do I fit into all of this?” Trust me, I get it.
â
Over the past 20 years, I’ve moved more times than I can count—packing up, starting over, adjusting, and readjusting—all while raising three kids. I know the emotional toll of constant change, the loneliness that can come with expat life, and the unexpected challenges of returning “home” to a place that no longer feels the same. It’s overwhelming. It’s exhausting. And at times, it feels like you’ve lost a piece of yourself along the way.
â
But here’s what I also know: it’s possible to rediscover yourself, build resilience, and create a life that feels truly fulfilling—wherever in the world you are.
â
Now, I help women like you navigate the emotional and practical challenges of relocation, settle into expat life with confidence, and find clarity when returning home feels just as uncertain as moving away. Together, we’ll turn your transition into an opportunity for growth, connection, and renewed confidence—so you don’t just adjust, you truly thrive.

Moving to a new placeâwhether itâs a fresh city or an entirely different countryâcan feel like stepping into the unknown. The excitement of a new adventure often comes with logistical chaos, emotional stress, and the challenge of starting over.
