What Clients Say
“What a tremendous resource! Heather was easy to chat with and genuine. I have watched hours of your TikTok content and still found there was much more to learn. Within 24 hours of our consultation, I had a lengthy email waiting for me outlining the details of our conversation and links to help me move forward. Thank you!”

“Heather was amazing. She answered all of our questions, brought up additional things to think about and pointed us in the right direction on quite a few things we wanted to research.”
— Cory C.
“Going into our meeting I thought Heather would give me information on transporting our two dogs and finding a school for our kids. Little did I know that we would touch on practically ALL my concerns, questions, and doubts pertaining to moving abroad! She is a wealth of knowledge not only from her own research but from having lived through the experience. She and her husband (and dogs!) have been in Portugal for a year now and are thriving! What a joy it was to have what felt like a convo and a cup of coffee with a longtime friend. She is easy to talk to, empathetic, and encouraging. No matter where you are on your Expatsi journey, BOOK HER!”
— Vicky M.
“The knowledge she is happy to share was incredible. I felt like I was asking off the wall questions. Nope, not from her perspective. We were asking questions ranging from medications refills to rental/purchasing homes to shipping our things over. We’ve been wanting to retire to Portugal for a few years. Her information is making us feel this decision is the right one. We’re planners, and hearing what to expect eased our minds in this decision. We know we don’t know what we don’t know. But, hearing that from her gave us confidence we’re heading in the right direction. Thank you, Heather. We truly appreciated that video call.”
— Jana H.
“The call with Heather far exceeded my expectations. She answered all of our questions which covered a range of issues on visas, living in Portugal, and language.
