Supporting working mums and their leaders to create confident, balanced, and high-performing workplaces.
Confident Employees. Thriving Teams.
Lasting Impact.
Whether it’s returning from parental leave or juggling the daily realities of career and motherhood, working mums face unique challenges and so do the leaders who support them.
I partner with forward-thinking employers to support both mums and managers build confidence, improve wellbeing, and strengthen workplace culture through practical coaching and workshops.
The result? More engaged employees, stronger retention, and a culture where everyone can thrive.

The Confident Return - Empowering Mothers, Equipping Leaders: A coaching partnership that supports both mums and leaders for a smooth, confident return to work.
Thriving as a Working Mum: an in-house workshop that helps mothers navigate the challenges of juggling career and family life. Because when mums thrive, teams perform, and workplaces grow stronger.
The Confident Return
Empowering mothers. Equipping leaders.
A reintegration program that helps organisations retain talent, strengthen leadership capability, and reduce the hidden costs of parental leave.
When mums return to work, confidence, identity shifts, and lack of structured support can impact both wellbeing and performance.
The Confident Return bridges that gap, supporting both returning mums and their leaders through targeted 1:1 coaching.
For returning mums:
- Rebuild professional confidence and reconnect with identity
- Manage guilt, boundaries, and priorities
- Create a clear 90-day reintegration and growth plan
For leaders:
- Understand the parental leave journey and its impact
- Lead with empathy and clarity during reintegration
- Strengthen communication, inclusion, and retention
The results:
✅ Smoother transitions and faster reintegration
✅ Retained talent and reduced turnover costs
✅ More confident leaders and engaged teams
Investing in The Confident Return isn’t just good for parents, it’s smart business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this program for?
The Confident Return is designed for both working mums returning from parental leave and their leaders or managers. It supports the personal and professional reintegration of mothers while equipping leaders with the tools to manage the transition effectively.
How is this program delivered?
All coaching sessions are delivered 1:1 online, making it flexible and accessible for busy professionals. Each participant receives reflection prompts, action tools, and clear next steps after every session.
In-person sessions can be arranged for organisations based in Taranaki or nearby regions by request.
Can this program be tailored for our organisation?
Yes. The structure is consistent, but the content is fully tailored to your context, including your company’s parental leave policy, leadership culture, and reintegration processes.
For larger organisations, we can also include joint sessions, group workshops, or custom reporting for HR.
What’s the time commitment?
Each participant attends four one-hour sessions over approximately 8–10 weeks.
The program is designed to be practical, not overwhelming with simple reflection tools that integrate easily into a busy workday.
Can we start the program before the employee returns to work?
Absolutely and it’s often the best time to start.
Beginning coaching a few weeks before the return helps mums and leaders plan the transition, set expectations, and reduce the “first-week shock.”
