Foundations to Flourish

How we work together…

Preparing to return to work after maternity leave can feel overwhelming.
Many mothers experience a mix of emotions - from anxiety and guilt, to self-doubt, exhaustion, and uncertainty about how to balance work and family life. Without the right support, this transition can lead to stress, burnout, and even stepping away from a career that once mattered deeply.

That’s where my Foundations to Flourish programme comes in.

This personalised coaching programme is designed to support mothers on maternity leave as they prepare to return to work - emotionally, mentally, and practically. Through tailored 1:1 coaching, I help mothers to rebuild confidence, restore clarity, and reconnect with their professional identity, while honouring their role as a mother.

We’ll work together on the unique challenges they are facing, focusing on their personal goals, mindset, and growth, so they return not just ready, but empowered to thrive both at home and at work.

Flexible Coaching for Your Workplace

My coaching programme is designed to seamlessly integrate into the working day, ensuring minimal disruption while delivering maximum impact. Flexibility is at the heart of the approach, allowing sessions to be scheduled at times that suit both the business and the employee. Whether it’s during a lunch break, as part of an existing wellbeing schedule, or even in short focused sessions between meetings, coaching can be adapted to fit around professional and personal commitments.

For working mothers, this flexibility is particularly valuable. Sessions can be conducted over video link, eliminating the need for travel and allowing them to engage from the comfort of their own workspace or home. This means they can access support without adding additional pressure to their day, helping them to develop skills, build confidence, and manage their career progression in a way that works for them.

By being adaptable to both business needs and individual schedules, coaching becomes an easy, accessible, and effective tool for you to utilise to improve the emotional wellbeing of working parents within your workplace.
