About me

Hi! I'm Paola, and I know what it's like to move somewhere new and feel like you've lost yourself in translation.

Even with my background in cultural anthropology, therapy training, and years of embodiment work, I still found myself lying awake at night wondering: Who am I now? Did I make the right choice? I struggled through language barriers, bureaucracy, and the guilt of enjoying this adventure while questioning if I'd made the right move.

That's when I realized: so many brave women need more than a travel guide or language app. We need support that speaks to the whole self—mind, body, heart, and spirit.

Movement has always been an essential part of my life.

I spent a decade as a contemporary dancer, exploring how the body tells stories and processes change. Yoga came next, helping me find stillness and resilience. My love for dance and yoga grew alongside a fascination for travel, languages, and astrology—ways to understand not just the world, but the inner journeys we all take.

Following that call to explore wasn't always easy. I left home and spent my savings to travel, volunteered as a language teacher on ships that sailed around the world three times, earned a scholarship to study cultural anthropology abroad, and stepped into leadership as the head of an academic department.

Each step asked me to adapt, reinvent myself, and trust that I could build a life far from the familiar. If you’ve moved for your dreams and now find yourself questioning everything… your path, your identity, your place, I want you to know that’s not failure. It’s part of the transformation.

Real transformation isn't about abandoning who you were. It's about integration.

It's weaving your past, your talents, and your roots with new perspectives and possibilities. Those experiences—along with marrying a foreigner and creating a home across cultures—taught me that we don't have to lose ourselves to grow. We need support that doesn’t just cheer us on—but helps us untangle what’s ours, what’s inherited, and what we actually want next.

So I blended my academic background in cultural anthropology with coaching, astrology, embodiment practices, and the kind of honest conversation that says: "Of course, you still miss home. Of course, you're confused. That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong".

Today, I live abroad with my partner, and when I'm not coaching, you'll find me doing yoga, practicing pole dancing, going to concerts, or relaxing at home reading or curating playlists according to my mood. (I also love personality quizzes, that's why I created one, I think you're going to love.)

My work is a space where creativity and purpose meet, where self-development is practical, and where women learn to adapt without losing themselves.

My mission? To help women who moved for their dreams stop feeling like strangers to themselves.

I believe in autonomy, adaptability, and living with purpose. I believe that change, while challenging, can become a path to growth and self-discovery. And I know that with the right support, it's possible to feel grounded, confident, and truly at home—even when life takes you far from where you started.

If you're ready to transform culture shock into curiosity, overwhelm into grounded confidence, and step into your next great chapter, welcome. You're in the right place.
