Meet Lina Paumgarten

Hi, I'm Lina—a counseling psychologist, coach, and consultant with a passion for emotional wellbeing and international education. I've spent the past 25+ years working across six continents and fourteen countries, including Austria, Chile, Thailand, the Netherlands, and Morocco.

My career has woven through counseling, coaching, mindfulness training, and curriculum development in international schools. As a lifelong athlete, a certified yoga teacher, and a mindfulness instructor, I bring a whole-person perspective to everything I do.

I'm currently pursuing a doctorate in psychology, focused on suicide prevention in international schools—a topic I care deeply about.
