About me:
I’m Susanne Widmer — an intercultural coach with a strong international background and a mission to help international partners build their lives and careers in Switzerland.
Born and raised in Lucerne, my own journey has taken me across several countries and cultures, shaping my understanding of what it means to feel at home — and what it takes to get there.
I’ve worked alongside expats and their families worldwide, including more than 12 years in the Swiss Foreign Ministry, and I know firsthand the challenges of starting over in an unfamiliar place.
I support international partners in finding clarity, confidence and connection — turning their stay in Switzerland into an enriching chapter of their lives.
For international partners
Feel at home, connect with others & move forward — personally and professionally.
Through my Let’s go Swiss – Integration Program, I help international partners create a life they enjoy in Switzerland.
You’ll build meaningful friendships, gain a sense of belonging, and take your next career step — whether finding a job or starting your own business — here in Switzerland.
For companies
A modular, scalable integration program for international partners of your employees.
Combines coaching, knowledge transfer & peer support — fostering emotional stability, cultural confidence & readiness for employment.
Offered in collaboration with Aramix GmbH — ensuring high professional & educational standards.
What customers say about me:
Sabrina Guérin - from Canada

Susanne has been greatly helpful and an amazing person to meet and have in our entourage. Before we started working together, there were lots of questions and uncertainties in my life.
Susanne has tools/ideas/suggestions for everything, supports us with great empathy and compassion. She also has a way to make us realize what is in our power and support and guide us while we are looking for solutions. On top of being wonderful at coaching us, she still goes the extra mile and personalizes the sessions to suit our needs. I found her very flexible and she always took me wherever I was in my process and went from there, which I greatly appreciated.
I loved my experience, think it was helpful and I recommend the programme, but specifically, Susanne. I would try additional programs with her anytime!
Thanks for everything Susanne!

Before I started working with Susanne, I found myself in quite a depressing state. Saying "yes" to her coaching program was surprisingly easy. Throughout the program, I achieved the ability to step out of my comfort zone and engage more actively in various activities.
I successfully mastered challenges that once seemed daunting. Unexpectedly, I also gained the joy of participating in Fasnacht (carnival) activities, a delightful side effect of the program.
Switzerland may be a hard nut to crack, but Suzanne can definitely help you out finding your way through!
