About International Family Coach
At International Family Coaching, the belief is simple: communication is the key to building strong, loving, and lasting relationships—especially in bicultural families, where misunderstandings often arise not from a lack of love, but from a lack of understanding.
Teresa Ruiz Pedersen is the founder of International Family Coaching. She is a certified life coach, trained in Denmark, with extensive experience guiding individuals and couples through the emotional and cultural complexities that affect their relationships.
Teresa lived in Denmark from 2006 to 2020, where her coaching journey began. In 2011, she earned her certification as a Life Coach and launched online courses specifically designed for Latin American women facing emotional pain, violence, and relationship disappointment. Many of these women struggled to express their needs, set boundaries, or speak with confidence. Through personalized guidance and structured coaching, Teresa taught them to communicate clearly, reject violence, and build emotional self-worth.
As her practice evolved, she began working with married couples, particularly those in intercultural relationships facing serious communication challenges. Teresa developed a unique communication model in Danish titled “Kærlighed mellem to kulturer” (Love Between Two Cultures), which continues to shape her work today.
Now based in the United States, Teresa continues to support bicultural couples and singles, particularly those navigating cross-cultural communication issues, emotional distance, and relationship breakdowns. Her services include one-on-one coaching, online therapy, and two signature programs:
- “Don’t Fight, Just Talk”
- “How to Get to ‘I Do’ Without Asking?”
- “Love between Two Cultures”
Teresa offers coaching in both English and Spanish. Every client receives personalized tools and a printed brochure with strategies to strengthen communication, rebuild self-esteem, and move toward peaceful, mature connection.
At the heart of International Family Coaching are six core values: compassion, clarity, connection, understanding, growth, and integrity. These values guide every session and interaction—from the first conversation to the long-term success of each client’s personal or family journey.
For those feeling emotionally stuck, struggling to talk with a partner, or considering separation, Teresa provides a safe, professional space where healing begins with better conversations.
