Testimonials

"My experience with Senait as a coach has been nothing short of extraordinary. Senait was a thoughtful, insightful coach who actively and truly listened to understand what I was dealing with. Senait was my designated coach during the Landmark Self Expression and Leadership course for three months in 2018.  She coached me on a variety of areas in my life, with a keen eye for uncovering my blind spots that were stopping me from taking action or had me stuck in a perpetual negative narrative about myself. She always pushed me to think of the possibilities I could create in the areas of my life that were most important to me.

​

 Senait's way of being with me was a calm, quiet, loving but firm stand for my life with a heart full of compassion for what I was dealing with. I appreciated that she "got" my world, and she never dismissed my emotions or thoughts even though I often created my own suffering with negative self-talk. It was easy and comforting to talk with her.

​

An area in which Senait made a difference in my life was dealing with my teen son, who had become increasingly defiant, belligerent and physically aggressive towards me. She created and recreated me as a loving mother who knows what to do, who is doing all the right things, who is fearless in the face of adversity, and who is an unwavering stand for my son's life in spite of his behaviors. She helped me see and re-see my son as the sweet loving boy I knew him to be, beneath all the negative behaviors. As a result, I was able to reconnect with my son and reestablish a loving bond that had deteriorated quite drastically. Senait shared her struggles with me as a mother dealing with her own son's struggles, and in that sharing, her coaching was even more effective because of that shared experience as a fellow mother.

​

I highly recommend Senait as a coach to others. Her compassion, her being present with the person she is coaching, her astute discernment of the person's blind spots, and her persistent stand for the person's life and the possibilities that any person can create, all make her an extraordinary coach. She asks thoughtful questions to get the person to think beyond what is current state, to transform whatever the current state is into something new. Senait has a tremendous amount of integrity and always follows through on her commitments to the people she coaches."

Data Annalist with Bank of the West 

Hi,
My name is Senait.

When I first moved from my hometown Eritrea across the world to the San Francisco bay area, I had no idea what I was getting myself into as my focus was all on getting there. 

 

In my excitement about the adventure of living abroad, I didn’t anticipate the struggles I would face. How things are different in the western world from the emerging worlds. 

​

Finding work to advance in my career, finding resources for my special needs child, building genuine friendships, staying confident, navigating the culture, staying connected with family and friends back home, and understanding how to fulfill the dream that I brought with me, all proved to be more challenging than I ever imagined.

Since then, we’ve become a family of five; we enjoy traveling between Europe and Africa to visit our families. I’ve learned a ton along the journey, but not without a lot of learning “the hard way” before I pieced together the Keys of what it takes to thrive in a new place and wrote a book about it. 

​

I started Anchoring the new you to give relocating families resources, support, and a road map to create a thriving life without wasting time on wrong turns and missed opportunities. I want to help you adapt quickly so you can make the most of your relocation and the precious moments of your life. 

​

Whether you’re processing your visa, waiting in another country to go to the western world, or struggling to find happiness in your new place, I’ll guide you in a clear, step-by-step process to handle your transitions with ease, turn your challenges into opportunities, and make you’re the experience be enjoyable, easy and joyful. 

Fun facts:

  • The spring festival was the number one thing I enjoyed while living in China. If you think you have seen fireworks, think again. China’s fireworks are exceptional. 
     

  • I've sky dived once…although it feels like it was a long time ago, and I don’t think I would do it again. 
     

  • I ate snail for the first time in Italy!

Why Work with Me

I’m a certified life-purpose life coach. Relationship facilitator, My professional background is in Sociology and Anthropology ( the Study of culture), and I am passionate about success. 

I’ve become an expert on how to thrive in a new country ( western country) through extensive research, coaching clients in this area, and my own experiences moving around the world with my family. I have also written a book about it. 

 

I help my clients to find their unique path to thriving according to their own values and goals. In coaching, I provide a safe place to confide the ups and downs of your journey, as well as find clarity on your goals and dreams, define your path forward, handle obstacles, and take action to create the life you dream of.

 

I also provide my clients with immensely valuable and easy-to-access resources.  I’ve developed programs specifically to help you with this confusing process; prepare you before leaving and after, you are sure you will get the visa with greater ease, fast-track your adjustment once you get here, and thrive in your new place.

 

When you’re moving, you don’t have time to pore over books and research, dig for quality information on the internet, or look for free services.

For those who say I would love to read your book but don’t have the time or energy,  I’ve done all the work for you- I’ve compiled the most relevant tips and tools for your situation, combined with my perspective and recommendations. I have created different short and long video programs you can study in your leisure time.
