ABOUT
Hey, I'm Vanessa!
I’ve worn many hats: engineer, actress, SAP consultant, and long-time expat. But nothing shifted my path more than becoming a mom to a bright, sensitive boy with ADHD.
I Get It, Because I Lived It
When my son struggled with school, anxiety, and rejection, we felt lost. His ADHD diagnosis opened a new world for him, but also for me. It led me to explore my own patterns and recognize long-missed signs of ADHD in myself. This journey inspired me to learn more about ADHD, transforming not only how I support my son but also how I parent, relate, and understand myself.
From Just Surviving to Thriving
Through his journey, I found my purpose. I learned how to support him with empathy, structure, and love. Then, I saw him begin to thrive.
NOW I PARTNER WITH YOU
Helping my son understand his ADHD opened the door to understanding my own patterns, challenges, and strengths. The more I learned, the more I realized how many adults go undiagnosed, unsupported, and misunderstood. Now, I partner with adult expats with ADHD who feel overwhelmed, unseen, and stuck.
You’ve never been the problem. The strategies you were given just didn’t match your needs. Let’s change that.
I walk alongside you while you do the work that moves you forward. Coaching is a partnership where I guide and support you in a safe space.
My journey blends lived experience with professional insight. I understand what it’s like to manage ADHD traits while building a life abroad.
I’ve worked in both creative and corporate fields and know what it’s like to feel “too much” or “not enough” in both.
I specialize in helping adult expats navigate their international journey and understand the complexity of identity, transition, and belonging.
I’ve completed my ICF-accredited training (International Coaching Federation) and am working toward my certification. My practice is grounded in ICF principles: respect, partnership, and client-centered growth.
