Expert coaching and support for globally mobile, high-achieving parents who want to move out of survival mode and into a calmer, easier, more connected family life, no matter where in the world life takes you.
PARENTING ABROAD: Coaching On Demand is a flexible, high-touch coaching experience for globally mobile parents who want to move away from parenting in survival mode and instead be calm, confident and deeply connected to their children in the middle of international moves, demanding careers, long work hours and cultural transitions.
Within one week of joining I'll tell you exactly what steps you need to take in your parenting to build the calm, grounded and connected family life you dream of. And you'll get all the resources you need to start making those changes.
In 30 days you'll begin to notice changes in the way that you approach parenting and the way that your child behaves.
In 90 days you'll enjoy a calmer, more patient family with fewer meltdowns and more loving, trusting and meaningful connection. Survival mode in parenting will be a thing of the past and you’ll never go back there again.
Your child is growing up between worlds. They’re smart, capable and outwardly adaptable. But constant moves, new schools and the pressure to perform from day one in a new country take a toll even on the strongest nervous system.
Feelings pour forth like a raging river. Grades slip. Motivation wavers. Tech becomes a lifeline. They begin to drift away from you.
No, it isn't on purpose. No, they aren't undisciplined. No, they're not lazy or ungrateful or spoiled. Their nervous system is running on empty so they're doing the only thing they can: They're trying to find a place to anchor within the chaos.
And the backdrop? A world that feels unstable and unpredictable. War, climate, politics, upheaval; they feel that too.
They don’t need another rule, a new reward system or more pressure. They don't need perfection from you. Underneath the tantrums, eye-rolls, shutdowns or arguments is a child desperate for your calm leadership.
You’re accomplished, driven and used to delivering results. You’ve built a life across borders and you hold high standards for your work, for yourself, for your family. You’ve been taught that being more present, doing more, or finding the perfect script will fix it. But it isn't.
You’re juggling a demanding career, adult relationships, and the logistics of living abroad. You’re constantly recalibrating: New schools; new systems; new expectations; new social codes. You push yourself to be present for it all, but inside you’re running on fumes.
You hold yourself to impossibly high standards and still feel as though you’re failing at parenting. You read, you listen, you try, you follow the experts but it doesn't feel right.
You're still reacting, shouting, negotiating, apologising, wondering what on earth you’re missing. Your child still refuses to do what they’re told; they're aggressive, unmotivated, ungrateful and disrespectful. You can barely keep your head above water while everyone around you seems to have got it together in their parenting.
You've realised that all the skills, knowledge and strengths that made you successful at work (efficiency, fixing, getting it right) are destructive to your parenting. The problem is, you know what you should be doing, you just have no idea how to do it.
And on top of that, you’re dealing with your own fears and worries about them, their wellbeing and their future.
You know that you want to be calm, decisive and connected to your child. But you don't know how to achieve it.
Whether it’s packing for another move, adjusting to a new school system, going through yet another goodbye, getting the promotion that you dreamed of, travelling for work and being absent, needing to deal with life admin, you know that you still need to keep it together in your parenting. Every new conflict with your child erodes your relationship with them. And as long as you keep parenting from survival mode, that won’t change.
But with my support things will change. You’ll go from surviving to leading your family through this beautiful life you have chosen.
Inside PARENTING ABROAD: Coaching On Demand you’re going to learn exactly how to get out of survival mode and be the cool, calm and connected parent you thought you would be so that you can lead your family with confidence no matter what life abroad throws at you all.
You’ll gain the personalised knowledge, skills and tools that you need so that you can take immediate action and prevent any more damage to your relationship with your child.
Through PARENTING ABROAD: Coaching On Demand I’m going to show you how to become the parent you want to be so that you can always be the steady anchor that your child needs without ever sacrificing your own high expectations, lifestyle or sanity.
By the end of your time in PARENTING ABROAD: Coaching On Demand, your usual parenting struggles will be a thing of the past and you’ll be the calm, confident parent you always intended to be, no matter what country, school or season your family is living through..
Mornings, bedtimes, house moves, school transitions, trips home will feel lighter because you understand what is happening in your child’s brain and you’re clear on what your role is through these potential flashpoints.
Rules will feel simple, aligned and will rarely be broken because they make sense to your child, to you and everyone else in your home. They are “just the way we do things around here” so you won’t need to nag, negotiate and demand.
Meltdowns will no longer control your home because you know how to respond instead of react and your child comes back to calm more easily and experiences meltdowns less frequently.
The art of disciplining (not punishing!) will come naturally and easily to you because you have the knowledge and skills you need to do it well without harming your relationship with your child.
Your child will lean in instead of pulling away because you’ve built trust, openness and closeness.
This is the simplest way to build a lifelong, connected relationship with your child so that they grow up to be grounded, resilient and emotionally secure all while you continue to live the ambitious and adventurous global lifestyle you have chosen.

Parenting isn’t something you can BS your way through - and you already know that, that’s why you’re here. If you struggle to say no, hold limits and boundaries or are afraid that you’re raising a child who thinks bad behaviour is rewarded, this short course is for you. You’ll get clear on what REALLY matters to you, what you can let go of and how to make sure everyone in your house is on the same page.
Do you often find yourself losing it with your child? Are you tired of feeling rubbish about yourself and your relationship? Do you say "I'm sorry" and then find yourself doing it all again the next day? If so, THIS short course is for you. A short course for mending your relationship with your child when it all gets too much and your anger takes over. All based on my signature process Unlearning.
If you’re preparing for another move and choosing the best school for your child is overwhelming, this guidebook is a compilation of decades of my experience working with education sectors, schools, parents and children across 50 countries. I know exactly what parents like you are looking for and I know how to help you get what you want and how to align families to have common goals.
If you often find yourself dealing with your child’s emotional outbursts but having no idea where they come from and if you find yourself struggling to keep your own emotions together, The Calm Parent Short Course is for you. Learn about their nervous system and yours, understand their activators and yours and use the tools and tricks in the course to teach yourself and them how to prevent a peaceful moment from turning into full-blown emotional chaos, and how to recover in record time when it does happen.
Be the parent who stays calm and confident no matter where life takes you because your child trusts you and your home is a place of stability, even when you’re far from family and friends.
Be the parent who makes decisions with certainty and sticks to them without guilt, because you’re raising a capable, grounded human in a world that’s constantly shifting.
Be the parent your child can’t wait to see, whether it’s for holidays, visits or even just a weekend because the connection and understanding you’re building now lasts a lifetime.
Be the parent that everyone else talks about and has them wondering "how do they do it all so well?".

I’m Anthi - a Jai Institute for Parenting certified master parent coach who has worked with over 100 international and globally mobile families. I am a published educational researcher and teacher and I am also a mum to a boy who has completely reshaped how I see children, parenting and myself. Together with my husband and son, we’ve built a life on the move, living and working across multiple countries while staying deeply connected as a family. Over the past 25+ years I have lived in five countries across three continents.
Prior to coaching I spent 25+ years in the field of education, working with children, families and schools across 25+ countries on 4 continents. My coaching certificate trained me in evidence-based parenting approaches that deliver real transformation for parents. Growing up between cultures, I understand firsthand the unique pressures of raising children in globally mobile families - and how to navigate them successfully.
Before parenthood, I had a thriving career, a joyful marriage, and confidence in my ability to get things right. Then I became a mum - and everything changed. Multiple intercontinental moves, COVID and caring for terminally ill parents pushed me into doubt, guilt and disconnection from my child. I shouted. I questioned myself constantly. I felt utterly incapable.
That struggle became my turning point. I worked with a parent coach myself and experienced a transformation so profound that I knew I had to help others do the same. Since then, I’ve supported families across four continents, helping high-achieving parents handle the unique challenges of raising children internationally while staying grounded, connected and confident.
That’s why I created PARENTING ABROAD: Coaching On Demand, an international space where parents gain practical strategies, clarity and support, without judgment, wherever they are in the world. Parenting far from home doesn’t have to be isolating, stressful or confusing.
Over 90 days, with my tailored guidance, you’ll see tangible change in your parenting. You’ll gain the tools, confidence and mindset to parent with clarity and calm - no matter where your family goes - and leave survival-mode parenting behind for good. PARENTING ABROAD is where that transformation happens, and I can’t wait to welcome you into it.
Before working with Anthi, even the smallest ‘no’ would trigger a full-blown meltdown. I felt like I was constantly walking on eggshells. Through our work together I’ve learned how to hold my boundaries without losing my cool - and the change in my son has been incredible. He hears ‘no’ now without spiralling, and our home finally feels calm again.
Before working with Anthi I always compared myself to other parents. Now, I’m still a work in progress, but the comparisons have stopped and instead, I've started showing myself (and my child) real compassion. I react less, reflect more, and I’m calmer and clearer about my boundaries. Our home feels lighter and I finally feel like the parent I always wanted to be.
I was tired of feeling as though I was permanently in survival mode. Constant firefighting was a way of life for me. By working with Anthi I realised that survival mode isn’t the only way. With practical tools for managing moments in real time and strategies for a more harmonious everyday life, this work has truly transformed how I parent and live.
A recent move where the early excitement is wearing off
A child adjusting to a new school, culture or country
Frequent work travel and the impact of physical distance
Parenting disagreements or cultural clashes at home
A lack of clarity around discipline, childcare and/or education
A promotion or another life change that excites you but worries you because of parenting balance
All parents report clear improvements in their feelings about their parenting and their child’s behaviour within 30 days
You’ll break out of survival mode, even if firefighting has been your normal
You’ll learn to build your own parenting voice - no complicated scripts or formulas to learn or follow
The tools, information, knowledge and strategies shared are simple, easy to understand and focus on how to put good parenting into action - not just the what and why.
Parenting partnerships become stronger and more aligned
You’ll receive live, high-touch, personalised support, not just videos and workbooks
You’ll join a community that understands the complexity of global life
Before signing up I was in a real parenting rut. Signing up was the push I needed to get out of that rut. After every session with Anthi I left feeling capable, energised and even having fun with parenting again. The biggest change is in me: I think through situations instead of reacting, I give my kids and myself grace, and I’m back to being the creative, loving parent I always wanted to be.
I thought I had connection with my child and that I knew her. Anthi really helped me to know my child even better and over time my understanding of her continues to deepen and she continues to reveal increasingly complex aspects of herself that I'm enjoying getting to know.
I never liked talking about my parenting struggles before working with Anthi. I always worried about being judged as not doing a good job. Meeting online with other parents twice a month was reassuring. Many of us were really struggling with similar issues. Hearing things from other people's perspectives was also extremely valuable.
PARENTING ABROAD is designed for parents of children aged roughly between 2 and 18 years old - the years when children are developing core skills in self-regulation, motivation and resilience. And when your role as their anchor is most crucial.
The tools and coaching focus on strengthening your leadership and your connection, so they adapt easily to your child’s age, stage, and personality.
Whether you’re navigating early school transitions or rocky teen years, you’ll learn how to stay calm, clear, and confident while guiding your child through change.
PARENTING ABROAD was created for parents like you. Globally mobile, busy with high-pressure lives. You don’t need to spend hours a day on this. This isn't about adding to your plate, this is about making life easier for you.
Group sessions are recorded so you can watch them at your leisure.
Coaching modules are presented in bite sized, easily digestible chunks with a focus on audio not visuals and accessible whenever you have the time for them.
Your Personalised Parenting Guide will tell you exactly how to work through the modules so you don't waste time doing work you don't need to do.
And you are free to book your one day of coaching on a date that suits you, record your voice notes when it suits you and listen to my feedback when it suits you.
Calls will be recorded and shared with all PARENTING ABROAD parents for the duration of your time in the programme. All Telegram Channel and private coaching chat is accessible around the clock for the duration of your time in the Programme.
You’re already pouring out energy reacting, worrying, apologising and firefighting. PARENTING ABROAD gives you tools that reduce that drain within just days. The investment isn’t more pressure; it’s the fastest way to stop bleeding time and energy.
I have lived experience as a neurodiverse parent and the child of. a neurodiverse parent. The jury's still out on my child. I also have years of experience working with neurodiverse children.
The most incredible thing about PARENTING ABROAD that you won't find anywhere else is the focus on "know your child". It's all about how to get to know your child and truly understand them - not the child they might be according to the textbooks. That means the work that you'll do with me is applicable to any and all children that you might have now or in the future regardless of their age, their background or their neurodiversity.
That's great because being on the same parenting page is so important and can really help with consistency, boundary and limit choice and holding them.
Parenting couples are not allowed to do PARENTING ABROAD together because of the hyper focus on it being a personalised experience.
If you and your parenting partner want to do this work I strongly recommend that you look at one of my coaching call packages which work very well for couples looking for parenting support. See here for more info.
Families come in all shapes and sizes. Your work within PARENTING ABROAD is about you and your relationship with your child. In my experience of working with couples, getting clear on your own relationship with your child goes a long way to making the coparenting experience more harmonious.
