Welcome to the Heart-Based Center Basel
Roots and Wings
A Journey for Expats in Switzerland
Reconnect. Reflect. Grow.
More than a course – a space for you to feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Relocating to a new country isn’t just a move — it’s a full-body, full-heart experience. Between navigating a new culture, working/parenting/partnering in unfamiliar territory, and trying to find time for yourself, it’s easy to feel disconnected, overwhelmed, and alone.
That’s why we created Roots and Wings – a warm, professionally guided program to help you find your footing, reconnect with your purpose, and rediscover your strength.

What is Roots and Wings?
A unique psychological and coaching journey designed for expatriates living in Switzerland.
Led by experienced therapists and coaches, this small-group experience offers:
- Emotional support & connection
- Practical tools for resilience & self-care
- Coaching for personal growth
- A nurturing space to feel less alone and more at home
