• Professional and Personal Coach**

• Certified Professional NLP Practitioner**

• Parental Transition Coach

  • Are you looking for ways to find balance, improve life, and be the best you possible? I can work with you on a one to one basis or with you and a group of colleagues or friends, we can still find self improvement in social environments. I use NLP tools to support you through this journey of self transformation.

  • Why coaching? A way I like to sum up why is that you wouldn't start a new job without knowing what is expected of you, what skills you’ll need to bring, what tools you will be able to use. Yet we go into parenting willingly without this knowledge, without really understanding what is happening. My time with you is not to take anything away from the amazing array of antenatal preparations available, it is the next level, I won’t prepare you for actual birth, but I can coach you through the journey of managing work situations, understanding the psychological changes that come with parenting, supporting you in understanding the importance of allowing risk as we allow our children to grow and learn. We will work together over a minimum of 5 sessions, two antenatally, one soon after baby arrives, one whilst preparing to go back to work and one back at work. This is not limited and more sessions can be added as you feel might benefit you, your situation, and your family.

  • One to one private parental transition coaching: are you expecting a baby and thinking about maternity leave, becoming a full time parent, going back to work? I offer a variety of packages from individual one off coaching sessions to packages of 4 and more.

  • Group workshop parental transition coaching: Would you rather explore going back to work in a setting where there are others in the same boat? In our Back to the Workplace workshops, we will explore all aspects of navigating your professional life with parenting life. From exploring practicalities and plans, endings and emotions, before’s and boundaries, we will equip you with strategies to get you ready through our small intimate groups with a maximum of 6 spaces in each group. How it works: 4-6 people : 2 sessions of 2 hours each.

  • Corporate packages for businesses: Do you have staff members going off on maternity or paternity leave? Are you ready for how to navigate all of that? Or are you the parent, wanting to understand how you are going to navigate and juggle it all.

  • Through coaching managers in understanding the transition of their employees into parenthood alongside their professional role, we ensure all aspects are covered, such as expectations, realities, what to explore, what to ask, how to negotiate, for all parties.

  • Coaching employees through their transition with 4 coaching sessions- 1 before baby arrives, then 1 after, followed by 1 before returning to work and 1 following the return to work.

  • Patience and Play Do you hover over your children, worrying they’ll fall over and hurt themselves? Do you encourage them to discover or do you tell them to be careful all the time? This is workshop for you and yours if that resonates even a little. It is a family based strategy supporting both parents and children, we explore connecting with nature, taking risks, understand why and how this is such a huge benefit to us, and come away feeling lighter, more free, and probably a little muddy. These evidenced based workshops are designed for 4-6 families and are run in the great outdoors.

Why is all of this so important?

Life is full of challenges, it’s how we transition and grow

Why Patience & Play? Many parents fear that their child will hurt themselves and find themselves saying phrases such as “stop, you’ll hurt yourself”, or, “get down from that three you’re going to fall”, and quite simply, “be careful”. Most people don’t let their children take risks, and yet there is enormous evidence behind why we should. But why in the woods? Further evidence shows us that not only is taking risks, like climbing a tree or splashing in a muddy puddle on a wet and cold day, good for human development, being in nature has enormous evidence for its benefits to mental health for all, so not only are the children benefiting from the ability to take a few risks, but parents get to enjoy the benefits of this too.

Why one to one coaching? A way I like to sum up why is that you wouldn’t start a new job without knowing what is expected of you, what skills you’ll need to bring, what tools you will be able to use. Yet we go into parenting willingly without this knowledge, without really understanding what is happening. My time with you is not to take anything away from the amazing array of antenatal preparations available, it is the next level, I won’t prepare you for actual birth, but I can coach you through the journey of managing work situations, understanding the psychological changes that come with parenting, supporting you in understanding the importance of allowing risk as we allow our children to grow and learn. We will work together over a minimum of 5 sessions, two antenatally, one soon after baby arrives, one whilst preparing to go back to work and one back at work. This is not limited and more sessions can be added as you feel might benefit you, your situation, and your family.

Tailored one to one sessions are available too for those who already have child/ren and are going back to work, or thinking about it.

Why group workshops in parental transition? Sometimes working through what’s going on for our change in plans for life needs a small and safe peer network, we need to know we’re not alone, because we’re not. I guide you through many steps and each session will be tailored to individual and group needs.

Why corporate packages? Many managers and leaders across all industries are faced with staff members becoming parents, training for this is rarely offered. My time with you will support your understanding of what you can expect in reality, we’ll look at boundaries, risks, planning, and options. Supported staff members are more productive than non-supported, and knowing that they are getting direct coaching alongside their manager(s) through this major life transition, assists in a more effective communication channel for all.
