Living in Spain & Helping Others Relocate
If you are looking for the relocation expert who moved here seamlessly, never cried in a bank, and speaks poetic Spanish 24/7... I am not that girl.
I am the "I learned this the hard way so you don't have to" girl. I didn't get this right the first time. In fact, I got it wrong about eight times.
Here is the truth about how I got here.
I didn't just move to Spain.
I escaped.
Let's get the polite version out of the way first: I love the sun, the food is great, and the lifestyle is slower.
But that's not why I'm here.
I left the UK because something shifted. When the Brexit vote happened, I looked around at the narrowing of minds, the closing of borders, and the shrinking of horizons — and I knew, deeply, that this no longer aligned with who I was or how I wanted to live.
I needed space.
Big skies.
Open borders.
A culture that prioritised living over just existing.
So, I did what everyone tells you NOT to do.
I moved on a wing and a prayer.
In the middle of a pandemic.
While Brexit was quietly locking the doors behind me.
I had no roadmap.
No safety net.
And very little clue what I was getting myself into.
And yes — I paid the price.
If there is a mistake you can make in Spain, I have probably made it.
I haven't just lived here — I've wrestled with it.
I've moved house eight times. (Yes. Eight.)
I navigated Spanish bureaucracy while the world was shut down by Covid.
I built two businesses from scratch — for myself and my partner — in a language I was still learning.
I didn't have a "soft landing".
I had a crash landing.
I built my life here brick by brick, mistake by mistake.
Because today, I'm not just surviving Spain — I'm woven into it.
I'm an active community connector.
I foster rescue dogs (because Spanish rescues teach you more about
resilience than any human ever could).
I've found my people, my rhythm, my purpose — and, eventually, my peace.
I became a Relocation Coach for one simple reason:
I don't want YOU to move eight times.
I want you to have the life I have now — without the chaos I went through to get it.
I want you to bypass the panic decisions, the wing-and-a-prayer moments, and the lonely nights wondering whether you've made a huge mistake.
I do this work because I know exactly what it takes to leave everything you know behind — and I know exactly how good it feels when you finally land somewhere that fits your soul.
And now, years later, the world feels like it's shifting again.
Different chaos. Same feeling.
I speak to people every week who are questioning their home countries — not because they're chasing a fantasy, but because the political, social, or cultural climate no longer feels aligned with who they are or how they want to live.
If that sounds familiar, then we already have something in common.
That quiet knowing that says: this isn't it anymore — and the courage it takes to listen to it.
This isn't the fantasy version of Spain.
It's the real one.
And if you're ready to do this properly — calmly, clearly, and with support — I'd love to help you get home.
Because you aren't moving to Spain just to sit in a tax office.
Giving back isn't a side note for me—it's my therapy. My version of unwinding isn't a spa day; it's heading to the Ace Shine Dog Shelter. I foster dogs because, frankly, Spanish rescue dogs teach you more about resilience than any human can. There is nothing quite like the feeling of taking a dog out of a cage for an hour and seeing them remember how to be happy.
When I'm not covered in dog hair or fighting bureaucracy, you'll find me on a horse in the countryside (my reminder to breathe) or connecting women in the Ladies Moving to Spain group.
I built the Fuengirola Females Social Club for one reason: Loneliness kills the dream faster than paperwork does. I don't just want you to get your visa. I want you to have friends to drink wine with once you get here.
This isn't just about building a life in Spain—it's about building one that matters.
One of the questions I often hear from clients is: "How do I actually integrate into Spanish life?" Community matters — whether it's volunteering with animals, joining a supportive online group, or meeting up for coffee with other expat women in your area.
I'm also happy to point you toward volunteer opportunities in your area during our consultations.
I don't play guessing games with your future.
Relocation rarely goes wrong because people aren't capable — it goes wrong because they rely on bad advice. I am your main point of contact, but behind me stands a fortress of experts. I don't rely on "a guy I met at a bar." I work with a vetted circle of heavyweights:
Immigration Lawyers & Property Purchase Specialists.
Spanish & US Tax Consultants, Financial Advisors, and Currency Experts.
Pet Relocation, International Shipping, and Vehicle Import Pros.
Rental Search Specialists, Health Insurance Brokers, and Gestors.
These are professionals I work with daily. I bring them in at the exact moment you need them. You get the precision of a specialist, with the safety of a coach who knows your whole story.
Relocation rarely goes wrong because people aren't capable — it goes wrong because they're forced to navigate unfamiliar systems with unreliable advice.
This network exists so you don't become another person fixing someone else's bad guidance.
You get:
Relocation doesn't fall apart because people aren't capable.
It falls apart because there's too much noise, too little support, and pressure to move faster than feels right.
These six principles guide how I work.
They exist to cut through misinformation, slow things down when needed, and make sure no one does this alone.
This isn't about rushing to Spain.
It's about making decisions you don't regret.
I stand for cutting through noise, half-truths, and bad advice — and replacing it with clarity you can actually act on.
Relocation is isolating by default. I stand for guidance, connection, and support — so you're not figuring this out in a vacuum.
This move affects your confidence, identity, and nervous system. I acknowledge that reality without turning it into therapy-speak or toxic positivity.
No pressure. No one-size-fits-all timelines. I stand for meeting you where you are — whether that's cautious, committed, or somewhere in between.
I stand for slowing things down when needed, challenging assumptions, and helping you avoid mistakes that cost time, money, or peace of mind.
I stand for outcomes that work for you — even if that means changing direction, delaying plans, or deciding Spain isn't right yet.
Let me give you a behind-the-scenes truth.
Around 99% of people come to me in some form of meltdown mode.
They usually start by apologising —
for feeling lost,
for being confused,
for not understanding what they think they "should" understand by
now.
Then the greatest hits appear:
"I read on Facebook that…"
"Someone on YouTube said…"
"Three people told me three completely different things…"
At this point, they've fallen down more internet rabbit holes than they care to admit — and they're convinced everyone else has a secret handbook they somehow missed.
I call this the Confused Duck Phase.
Some ducks are swimming furiously upstream in completely the wrong
direction.
Some are floating, paralysed by fear of choosing wrong.
Some are clutching screenshots like survival gear.
And every single duck thinks they're the only one.
They're not.
By the end of our session, we're usually laughing — not because it was silly, but because once the noise is stripped away, everything suddenly makes sense.
If everyone knew how this worked, I'd be out of a job.
Relocation doesn't fail because people aren't smart.
It fails because they're trying to navigate a complex system alone,
armed with misinformation and no clear guide.
That's where I come in.
I sit at the centre of your move — as your coach, translator, and steady point of contact — helping you make sense of what applies to you, what doesn't, and what actually matters right now.
Behind me is a trusted network of heavyweight professionals — immigration lawyers, tax specialists, financial advisors, relocation experts — brought in when needed, not dumped on you all at once.
You're not handed a checklist and sent off.
You're not left piecing things together from strangers online.
You get:
Confusion isn't a failure.
It's just the starting point — and a very familiar one.
That's okay. Come talk to me — we'll untangle it together.
