Relocation Coaching

Your Next Chapter Awaits

Presented by Alishia McCullough,
Founder & CEO at Black and Embodied Counseling and Consulting PLLC

Alishia McCullough (she/her) is a millennial Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist and the author of Reclaiming The Black Body (2024). I have experience in mental health therapy, coaching, business consultation, writing, and a variety of healing modalities.

In January 2024, I made the brave decision to opt out of the exhaustion, harm and fear I was experiencing in the USA, and re-locate to Mexico. Living outside of the U.S. I finally know what it feels like to embody healing and liberation. I know what it means to have freedom over my time, and to live a more holistically healthy lifestyle. I truly know what it feels like to be at peace, to experience joy, to know when to connect and disconnect. This is what opting out has given me.

Now, I'd love to help you see what opting out can offer you.

In this coaching program, we will cover.

5 Stages to Relocation

I am here for you through all the twists and turns as you prepare to move abroad! I created this five-stage coaching program as a roadmap based on my experience of moving abroad. These stages beginning with reflection, exploration, planning, moving and action may overlap! Relocation can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, especially when considering how to integrate into a new culture, seek reciprocal relationships with the land and people, establish community, and foster your own inner growth. This program is designed so that you don't have to navigate this transition alone! I offer structure and guidance throughout your journey.

Common Questions

1) Where to find people who have been on a similar journey as you have?

2) What neighborhood would you live in?

3) What do you need to bring with you?

4) How to navigate transportation?

5) International travel guidelines?

6) What are people like and/or what is the typical day in the life of an expat immigrant?

7) Do I need to know Spanish?

Interested in a more immersive experience?

When I decided that I wanted to move to Mexico, I wished that I could come for a preview of life here. While I value my independence and wanted the freedom to build a short trip myself, I also wanted someone I could turn to for safety & comfort until I got adjusted. Unfortunately, this service did not exist.

I am now offering in-person relocation support with the following offerings:

• Welcome dinner in Mexico

• Unique, tailored itinerary curated specifically for you!

• Arranging your accommodation for you

• Introductions with you and local supports (ie. realtors, tour guides)

• Co-working sessions during your trip to explore questions such as: What is my experience being here? How does my body feel? What do I need to get in order for my move?

• 24/7 emergency support during your trip

• Closing dinner to reflect on experience in Playa, identify what additional support may be needed, answer any questions that came up on the trip and plan for your upcoming relocation!

and more!

Prices start at $500 USD not including your flight. The price is subject to your specific plan, for example the longevity of the stay, capacity of support, and type of travel.

Testimonial

Visiting Mexico for the first time, especially as a solo traveler, can feel overwhelming-but thanks to Alishia, my experience was seamless and unforgettable. From the moment I landed in Cancun, she provided invaluable guidance, helping me navigate the airport with ease and arranging transportation through a trusted, expat-led company.

In Playa del Carmen, Alishia went above and beyond to curate an immersive experience tailored to my needs. She helped me find the perfect accommodations, assisted with translation (she's fluent in Spanish), and introduced me to the best local cuisine, stunning beaches, and top-tier spas. More than just a guide, she helped me embrace radical rest, allowing me to truly disconnect and rejuvenate from the stress of daily life in the U.S.

By the end of my trip, I didn't want to leave-and I know you'll feel the same. Whether you're visiting or planning a move to Playa del Carmen, Alishia will help you prioritize wellness and make the transition effortless. I returned home feeling lighter, recharged, and more focused, and I can't recommend her enough.
