She reminded me who Ireally am and that I can do anything — even when it didn’t feel that way.I’m a choreographer and ballet artist, and before the move, my whole life was centered aroundmy passion. But in Germany, it felt like I had to start from zero. Tanja was like a partner in a dance— she gently guided me through every step of this journey.We did everything together — practiced German so I could feel confident in job interviews, builtdance lesson plans for preschoolers, figured out how to support my older son with the language…She saw all the little and big things that mattered to me and helped me bring them together.It might sound simple, but it was one of the hardest and most important journeys I’ve ever beenon — the journey back to myself. Now I feel strong, grounded, and ready. I know what I want, and I truly believe I can make ithappen. Tanja’s support has been a huge part of that, and I’m so grateful to have had her by myside."
