We often talk about the privilege of the nomadic lifestyle, but we rarely discuss the heavy lifting it requires. For a highly sensitive person (HSP), shifts in cultural nuances, languages, or even the sensory change in their surroundings are not just mental; they are visceral. Without the right tools, these transitions can lead to overwhelm, turning a path of growth into a series of stumbling stones. What I offer: As a certified HSP Coach and seasoned traveler, I help highly sensitive nomads and expats navigate the visceral "inner recalibration" of a life in motion, helping you build a portable haven of grounded lightness no matter where you are in the world. I offer online 1:1 sessions in English, German, French, and Spanish designed to help you move past overwhelm and toward the broadening horizons we seekers strive for. ​ ​My own journey: For the past 15 years—the same amount of time I have been exploring the concept of high sensitivity—I have been moving between my home base of Vienna, Austria, and five different countries across three continents. After a double Master’s degree and several years in translation, I eventually felt a calling toward work with a deeper purpose: helping people directly. ​Through periods of personal transition, my path has been shaped by mindfulness, Buddhism, and yoga. Today, I value profound human resonance and a connection with nature above all else—values I practice while "nomading" around the world with my partner. ​ ​If my mission resonates with you, I invite you to step inside my digital haven: havenwithin.me

I help highly sensitive travelers and expats find emotional stability in a life of constant change. I use science-backed somatic coaching to help them turn their sensitivity from a source of overwhelm into a grounded asset, ensuring they feel at home in their own skin, even when they’re thousands of miles from where they started.

I support my clients by integrating psychological insight with neurobiological regulation. My approach works on two primary levels: ​Cognitive Perspective - through targeted conversation, mental exercises, and visualizations, we foster your ability to analyze challenges from new angles and develop your own creative solutions. ​Somatic Integration - we use body-based practices, including mindfulness and somatic work, to stabilize the nervous system and build resilience from the inside out. Additionally, I often give my clients homework, suggesting exercises, reading material or providing them with tailored worksheets to foster autonomous analysis and self-regulation. I work with artificial intelligence, i.e. Gemini and Fireflies, for session recordings and in-depth analysis as well as preparation or our sessions. The use of these tools is optional.

“I absolutely loved my coaching with Susi. She is amazing in pointing out things that you might oversee, very attentive and extremely intuitive. I felt held and taken care of. At the same time she has the ability to push the right buttons and it is then up to you what you do with it. Sometimes it can be challenging to walk in this world being that sensitive and it is amazing to have people like Susi that offer to walk with you. It was also a great plus to be able to communicate with her in English, German and Spanish. She feels native in all these languages and for me this was like a present from the universe. Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do ❤️🙏.” Ilina “I went into my first mindfulness session with Susi not knowing what to expect, and I ended up really enjoying it. I felt my stress levels drop dramatically and a deep sense of inner peace that lasted for hours. I’m really eager to do more sessions with her and I highly recommend them to anyone living with stress; they are truly helpful.” Saúl “The work with Susi was really rewarding and helpful. She facilitates a proper space for you to feel comfortable and listened. She also provided me the right tools to understand and manage my HS in daily life and today I make good use of them. I truly recommend it to everyone. Thanks very very much Susi!” Jordi “Susi ist für mich ein Mensch, der wertfrei, offen und feinfühlig begegnet und im Kontakt Aufmerksamkeit sowie Wertschätzung schenkt. Besonders ihre Authentizität, die durch ihren eigenen Lebenserfahrungen, Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und einem Weg abseits vom Mainstream zum Ausdruck kommt, schätze ich neben ihrer Tiefsinnigkeit sehr.” Karen “I loved my coaching therapy with Susie! I have never done anything like this before so I did not know what to expect. Instantly when we got on the video call she helped me to feel at ease, calm, and comfortable. Her attentive listening and inquisitive questions helped me to even understand myself better. As someone who was experiencing a lot of different emotions with being abroad she helped me to feel more comfortable in my own skin and to embrace these sides of myself. Thank you Susie!” Sara
