Looking for a new home near the water. A place to settle in and feel at home 🌊
I’m helping a client relocating for an executive role find their new home. I’d love to hear from you if you know of an apartment or condo that could fit:
• 2 bedrooms and at least 1 bathroom
• Virginia Beach Oceanfront preferred, ideally with water views
• An upper-floor unit with a private balcony
• In-unit washer and dryer
• Onsite amenities, including a gym
• A walkable location near restaurants, cafés, and grocery stores
• Ideally fully furnished, although furniture rental could also work
Move-in could be as early as late October, with flexibility into November.
If you own, manage, or know of a property that matches, please message me or email the details and availability. And if someone comes to mind, please pass this along 🤍

When you move to another country with children, finding a house is only one part of the story.
You also want to know they’ll be okay.
Will they like their new school? Make friends? Feel safe? Will this new place ever feel like home?
And while you’re thinking about all of that, there’s still a long list of practical things to arrange.
That’s where I can take some of the weight off your shoulders.
The house search, the school visits, the neighborhood questions, the little details you might not even know about yet.
So you can spend a little less time figuring everything out and a little more time helping your family settle in.
Because that’s what really matters ❤️

Who takes care of the person taking care of everything?
It’s something I see when families move to another country.
There’s often one person keeping track of it all.
The schools. The paperwork. The appointments. The questions nobody else has thought of yet.
And somewhere in between, trying to make sure everyone is happy with the move.
That’s a lot of responsibility.
Especially when you’re making decisions in a country where you don’t yet know how everything works.
I think this is where people often get stuck.
Not because they’re incapable of handling it.
But because they’ve become the person everyone turns to for answers.
And sometimes, that person needs someone to turn to as well.
That’s a big part of why I do what I do.

A few days near the ocean 🌊
No rushing from one thing to the next. No meals to prepare. No endless to-do list.
Just good food, movement, fresh air, sleep, conversations, and time to yourself.
That’s what I wanted to create with these retreats.
Nothing complicated. Nothing you need to be good at. Just a few days to enjoy being taken care of.
Relax. Eat. Move. Sleep. Repeat.
📍 Duck, North Carolina

I’m currently putting together the group for December, and I’d really love to make this weekend happen.

This is what starting over looks like.
Not always the big, exciting moments we imagine.
Sometimes it’s just a little boy zipping up his jacket before heading out into another day.
A new school. A different language. New faces. New routines.
And life just keeps going.
I think that’s something we sometimes forget when we talk about moving to another country.
While the adults are busy organizing everything, the kids are quietly building a whole new everyday life.
One morning at a time.
And those ordinary moments? They’re anything but ordinary when everything around you is new.

For the kids, it’s a new school.
For the parent, it’s 100 questions.
Where will they go?
Will they be happy there?
Will they make friends?
How does the school system even work here?
What do I need to arrange before we arrive?
And somewhere underneath all those practical questions is usually a much bigger one:
Will my kids be okay here?
I understand why that one feels big.
Because when you move your family to another country, you’re not just organizing a move.
You’re trying to make sure everyone lands well.
You don’t have to figure all of that out alone.
