Ways we can work together

Frogs & Swans: The Next Chapter Studio is a place rooted in possibility, 

Frogs & Swans helps you navigate change and shape what comes next. Coaching and creative workshops support the changes within, while thoughtful home refreshes and a curated mix of vintage finds, design pieces, and décor help your surroundings reflect the life you are creating.

The name represents two ways of navigating change. Sometimes we need to leap (like a frog)—to take a chance, make a decision, or begin before we feel completely ready. At other times, we need to glide (like a swan)—to trust ourselves, move with intention, and allow the next step to become clear.

Both have a place in every next chapter.

Learning when to leap and when to glide has shaped my own life.

Change has been a constant throughout my  life. Born in Germany and raised in South Africa, I have lived and worked across four continents and now divide my time between Chicago and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. 

Along the way, I have built and led global teams, changed careers, created new homes, completed ultramarathons and open-water swims, celebrated remarkable successes, and found myself beginning again more than once.

These experiences have taught me that change can be both unsettling and full of possibility. I know what it means to leave something familiar behind, to move forward without having every answer, and to create a sense of home in a new place. 

As a trained Co-Active coach, I bring that understanding to my work with people navigating career and life transitions. I listen, ask questions, challenge assumptions, and help turn ideas into clear, practical next steps.

I also believe our surroundings can support us through change. Sometimes a new chapter calls for a refresh—clearing what no longer belongs, rethinking how a space is used, or introducing a few pieces that better reflect who we are becoming. 

Frogs & Swans brings these ideas together: changing how we live, shaping the spaces around us, and creating a next chapter that feels more grounded, intentional, and our own.

We are never done evolving. Life isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about having the courage to take the next step—whether that means leaping forward or gliding with purpose.
