Why do I love working with x-pats?

Living as an expat family on three different continents has filled me with the passion to research and discover ways to successfully raise third-culture kids. Throughout the years, I have worked with families in transitions around the globe and have realized that we all share similar struggles. Combining my studies about “third-culture-kids” with “mindful-parenting”, was both very beneficial for my family struggles and for the families I’ve been working with. I am especially motivated to work with expats because I have a deep personal connection with the difficulties of establishing life in a different culture, and because I feel and science shows - that after all the difficulties, there are ways to elevate the experience to its utmost.

What people say

The awareness challenge
A program of daily morning guided meditationsand home assignments

 

"Ori took us digitally daily by her hand and through her warm voice we experienced a very welcome and special start in our work days. Personally, on me this experience has a long-lasting effect, towards training conscious pausing. Thanks to Ori we had between different people a short daily valuable exchange about something touching and influencing our well beeing. I wish this experience to spread."
