MATERNITY COACHING

Whether you're preparing for parenthood or preparing to transition back into your professional life after a period of parental leave, I can support you.

My tailored maternity and parental transition coaching is dedicated to guiding you through each transition: before leave, as you plan for time away from work and set yourself up for a confident return, and after leave, as you return to the workplace or adapt to new responsibilities alongside parenthood.

Becoming a parent is a life-changing experience, and returning to work after maternity or parental leave can feel like a second major transition. If you’re committed to both your career and your family but are unsure how to thrive in both roles, you’re not alone.

At Nidd Valley Consulting, I help dedicated professionals like you navigate the transition with confidence, so you can continue to thrive and develop in your professional role and career, while building a fulfilling life at home.
