Our International Experience Inspired the Creation of International Family Coaching
On the road to founding International Family Coaching, there were many professional experiences that marked a turning point. One of them was an international internship that connected cultures, languages, and values—and ultimately shaped our current mission: helping families, couples, and single women build strong, healthy, and lasting emotional bonds.
A Trilingual Internship with Human Impact
In 2017, our founder, Teresa Ruiz Pedersen, collaborated with the Danish company TH Tierra Holding APS on a digital project for their property in Oaxaca, Mexico. During that time, she worked on updating a trilingual website (Danish, Spanish, and English) using the WordPress platform.
The experience was not only technical. It was a real encounter with the cultural challenges faced by people who move between different countries, values, and communication styles.
The project director, Thomas Gaarn Thomsen, left the following reference:
“Teresa has worked with commitment and shown great interest in acquiring new knowledge… She has the ability to identify new opportunities in the work with the website, and when tasks arose that she didn’t know how to do, she thoroughly researched the matter and found solutions… We highly recommend her and will continue to work with her on future consulting assignments.”
— Thomas Gaarn Thomsen, Director of TH Tierra Holding APS, Denmark
From a Website to a Life Vision
That experience was more than an internship. It was a revelation: many people live caught between cultures, not knowing how to express themselves or resolve the emotional conflicts this brings. From that realization, the seed of what is now International Family Coaching was born.
Our Approach: Emotional Restoration and Preventing Breakups
From Arlington, Virginia, we now support families, couples, and women in their emotional restoration process through our original methodologies such as:
-
Don’t Fight, Just Talk – for couples in crisis.
-
How to Get “I Do” Without Asking – for single women seeking healthy relationships.
-
Love Between Two Cultures – for bicultural couples.
Our Mission Is Clear:
Zero Divorces. Zero Violence. Zero Suicides.
And it all started with a website, an international internship… and a passion for building bridges between people.
