This is my story.
A nomad of the heart, a language coach by trade, and a mom whose life has taken on a shape I could have never imagined. My journey has led me from Serbia to London, Paris, Geneva, and now Zurich, and each place has asked me to strip down and start again, reinventing myself from the inside out. What I have learned—over miles, memories, and missteps—is that this expat life isn’t just about finding home in a new country. It’s about finding home within ourselves, no matter where we are.
HELLO, I'M NINA!
If you’ve found your way here, something in your story probably echoes mine.
Maybe you’ve followed love or opportunity across borders, leaving behind the life you built, the language you spoke effortlessly, and the person you used to recognize in the mirror. Maybe you’ve been called brave for moving abroad—while inside, you’ve felt anything but.
I know that feeling.
When I first left Serbia for London, I thought I was chasing adventure. Instead, I found myself grieving—grieving my language, my belonging, my father, and the version of me who once felt so sure of her place in the world. Paris then wrapped me in beauty and loneliness at once. I learned to fill my own silence, to rebuild piece by piece, to start again even when my heart was still catching up.
Geneva gave me community. Zurich gave me freedom.
And somewhere between all those miles, moves, and moments of starting over, I learned that home isn’t a place. It’s a feeling we learn to create inside ourselves.
That’s why I do what I do now.
I help women like you—expats, trailing partners, dreamers, doers, quiet feelers—find their voice again in English and in life. Not just to sound fluent, but to feel whole. To stop shrinking in conversations, doubting your worth, or translating every thought before you dare to speak.
Because confidence abroad isn’t born from perfect grammar or flawless small talk—it comes from reconnecting with who you are beneath all the roles, expectations, and unspoken fears.
Through my coaching, I’ll help you untangle the anxiety that keeps you silent, rebuild your confidence from the inside out, and rediscover your voice—the one that feels like you, no matter the language or the postcode.
You don’t have to start over alone. You’re not behind. You’re becoming.
And this—right here, right now—is your turning point.

Let me say this clearly, in a way nobody said it to me when I needed it:
I see you. This wasn’t the plan. And you are not failing at it.

Professional Bio
As a certified language and mindset coach, I specialise in guiding women — particularly expat wives, trailing partners, and stay-at-home mums in global transition — from feeling invisible and linguistically uncertain, to reclaiming the voice they lost along the way. I marry conversational English fluency with mindset shifts rooted in neuroscience and embodiment. The result? Not only do you speak more confidently—you feel more confidently.

A lived expat narrative: I’ve lost homes, languages, identities—so I know what it’s like to feel “not enough.”

Coaching expertise: I’ve trained in neuroscience-based transformation and adult language acquisition.
-
Real-world success: I speak from both the client-chair and the coach-chair.
-
A passionate mission: To help you build the life abroad that feels like yours—because deep down, home is inside us, not just somewhere we live.
If you’re ready for this…
… to stop comparing yourself with fluent locals, to stop shrinking in conversations, to stop translating every thought before you speak—then you’re in the right place. Let’s step into your voice, your worth, your story.
Because you’re not behind. You’re becoming.
