9 out of 10 mothers experience problems returning to work after maternity leave and a prolonged absence from work can reduce engagement, motivation and workplace wellbeing by as much as 20% when people return. Maternity coaching helps both individuals and organisations manage the transition smoothly. Maternity coaching, and help with planning, ensures women make the right return to work plans and decisions to suit their individual circumstances and feel supported by their organisation.
Supporting mothers through maternity leave is only half of the picture, if they return to a working environment that doesn't support them to achieve their potential. Line Manager training can support Line Managers to create an inclusive environment where all parents can thrive, to feel confident supporting parents to and from parental leave, and help them reboot their career after their return
My three-staged approach supports mothers before, during and after maternity leave
My three-staged approach supports mothers before, during and after maternity leave
It helps mothers prepare for and understand the transition they have been through in becoming a mother and their new identity. It enables them to visualise their future self and goals for their career, before helping them plan the return to work that's right for them. Finally, it helps them plan and re-establish their career plan on their return to work.

At The Maternity Coach we also offer support for the Line Managers of mothers-to-be/parents to be or mothers/fathers on maternity leave. The goal of the support is to help Line Managers create an environment where parents feel supported and can thrive at work.

What my clients are saying
What my clients are saying
“From the initial brief and discussion, Frances brings another level of professionalism and expertise with her ability to deliver the material in innovative ways, making the course bespoke for the individual and maximising the learning and experience from the course. We recently worked with her to redesign the delivery platform to be an online offer and her flexibility, drive and technical skills have ensured that these two cohorts have had an equal if not an enhanced experience compared to our previous face-to-face offer.
Frances brings not only her professional skills and expertise, but also her warmth as an individual and as a parent. This generates a feeling of trust and she somehow manages to provide the space and time for each individual (even in a group setting) so participants feel comfortable and share experiences at this transition point in their lives. My feedback is also reflected across all five of the cohorts, which reflects more than sixty participants, who all rate the course very highly and are positive promoters of the course to others."

“I have had the pleasure of working with Frances for over 12 months, in a bid to collaborate in setting up a maternity coaching offer for all London’s GPs. I am delighted to say we are about to launch the first cohorts from January 2022.
Frances has been incredibly generous in her willingness to support such a critical part of our NHS staff retention work. From the beginning she inspired me with her desire to think creatively and find a solution that would work within the budget constraints of our funding. She was not daunted by the prospect of adapting her ways of working and rather embraced the challenge as an exciting opportunity for innovation. Her flexibility has been a crucial factor in enabling our success.
She had remained diligent, thoughtful and methodical in her approach to organising an ‘at-scale’ programme and has shown integrity in all that is asked of her.
I have appreciated her approachability and warmth as a person which has made it a real pleasure to know her and work with her.
I commend the standard of excellence she demonstrates in all her work: her communication, her attention to detail, her positive attitude. I have no hesitation on endorsing her as an outstanding professional coach."
