Many Kenyans abroad are achieving great professional success—but behind the titles and
achievements, many are quietly carrying stress and burnout, cultural disconnection, and emotional fatigue trying to balance everything from careers, caring for family back home and here.
Some of our challenges:
The Hidden Cost of Success Abroad
While career wins are common, the cost to mental and emotional health often goes
unspoken—especially among midlife professionals and women balancing caregiving and global careers.
What the Wellness Gap Looks Like
Kenyans abroad face unique stressors: cross-cultural parenting, menopause in silence, career stagnation, and the pressure to support family back home while surviving in unfamiliar systems.

sessions/retreats that are non-religious and designed to focus on mind, body and spirit using meditation and coaching embedded in cultural intelligence to reset and realign.
