A new country. A redesigned life.
Your life abroad, your personal navigator.
You've already made the decision. This is where it becomes real.
Moving abroad is not just a logistical process. It is a chain of connected decisions that shape everything that follows.
I work with you one-on-one to turn that complexity into a clear, structured plan and stay with you through the entire journey from first step to settling in.
This is where my proven process replaces uncertainty, and you're no longer holding it all alone.
Moving abroad is a life design problem.

Where we go
I went first
The art of arriving home in a new country.
I went the long way, so you don't have to.
You already know something needs to change
You have done enough thinking and researching on your own. This is for you if you are ready for a plan and a navigator who will build it with you and for you.
Something is pulling you forward
An entrepreneur whose work is already portable and whose location should finally match that freedom. A family that wants a different rhythm for their children, a safer pace, a richer daily life.
Something feels like waiting
A retirement that was supposed to feel like an arrival but still feels like waiting, and the realization that the next chapter does not have to unfold in the same place as every chapter before it.
Something broke open
A divorce that dismantled the life you were living inside. Burnout that finally became impossible to ignore: you love what you do, but want a place that supports your chosen lifestyle while you find ways to find joy in working again.
Something finally hit
A milestone birthday that landed differently than you expected and exposed the distance between the life you have and the one you actually want. The feeling that the place you live does not feel like home anymore.

Designed around your life. Every step, every detail, every dimension of the move.
Testimonials
Jackie and Life Beyond Borders to me are a perfect synthesis of her life and business experiences. She is one of the most trustworthy people I have known. For anyone exploring a life-altering change of relocating to another country, I can think of no one more empathetic, experienced, and trustworthy. She and her team know the importance of delivering world-class client service by cultivating lasting personal relationships. She remains in constant contact to ensure a personalized experience. My own daughter has mentioned country relocation for her and her husband, and I will unhesitatingly recommend that she seeks out Jackie when she’s ready.
Jackie’s proven competency in strategic planning for complex projects, coupled with her tactical skills and attention to details all translate into what she does for clients. And during times of great stress, she always keeps her cool. How blessed and fortunate her clients will be to have Jackie with them every step of the way. Jackie is truly a kind, loving, trustworthy person who is quietly helping the world be a better place
Wayne Henderson
Jackie has supported me during a move to a location that was far more expensive and atypical than where I was leaving. I would have had a much more difficult time, and been more lost, frustrated, and cash-strapped, without her expertise. If you struggle with detail (as I do), or if you’re far too busy with daily existence to carefully plan and prepare your next steps, you would do well to seek her assistance and advice.
There are few people in the world I trust the way I trust Jackie! She is the rare person who exhibits both great competency and genuine care in equal measure. She has a deep well of personal experience with international relocations and bureaucratic navigation that is beyond indispensable.
Jackie knows what it’s like to build a career and community in unfamiliar cultures. I can’t recommend her highly enough to you. Let her guide you through all the gnarly, complicated, non-intuitive tasks, so that you can focus on the vision for your life in your new corner of the world!
Kip Taylor
Jackie has a knack for cultivating relationships and really getting to know her clients – she truly makes her clients feel heard and takes pride in getting to know you. And she will be honest with you when something might not be the right fit.
If you’re about to work with Jackie for the first time, you’re in really good hands. Moving to a new country is a lot. But Jackie has done it and understands how challenging it can be. She’s ready to help you navigate the process, and she’ll probably see things about your situation before you do. Jackie handles every detail, and nothing slips through the cracks.
For a move like this, she’d be the first person I’d call. She’ll help you figure out not just the next step, but why it’s the right one for you.
Erin Barr
I truly appreciated the professional but extremely warm approach that Jacqueline provides. She is extremely knowledgeable and also very responsive, which has meant the world to me as I am planning my move to Brazil!
I have had a few real hiccups, and she has been so supportive! Anyone who can get her service would be lucky to have them guiding them in the transition to moving abroad!

I would never hesitate to recommend Jackie. Whether you want a sounding board for your own ideas, or a hand to hold through the many ways a plan has to shift over time, Jackie will be an integral part of your journey.
She is exceedingly capable from bird’s eye view, to on-the-ground minutiae. She will meet you where you are in your journey, whether you have a plan, or had to scrap the plan, or need reassurance about the plan. Her empathy means she has been where you are emotionally (if not also geographically: she has lived and traveled everywhere!), and has made it through the red tape and bureaucracies with grace.
Sometimes these shifts in life require vulnerability too – there is no one I would rather open up to about my dreams. I trust her discretion, and that trust leads directly to accomplishing my goals. Don’t hesitate to open up and ask for exactly what you need. Jackie knows how to get the job done.
Erin Britt
Jackie is one of the most thoughtful, hands-on leaders I’ve had the opportunity to work with. She has a rare ability to manage even the smallest details while making people feel completely taken care of and supported. She’s fully present, patient, and genuinely invested in the outcome.
If you want to work with her, you’re in incredibly capable hands. Jackie brings a deep level of knowledge, especially of travel, logistics, and navigating complex decisions, but what really sets her apart is how she shows up: calm, responsive, and solutions-oriented, even in moments that feel overwhelming.
She approaches everything with care, integrity, and a true sense of responsibility. You feel that she’s not just guiding you through a process, but truly looking out for you. If someone I cared about was relocating internationally, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Jackie. She’s exactly the kind of person you want by your side: someone who not only understands the logistics, but also the emotional journey, to guide you through both with confidence and care.
