Returning to Work After Maternity Leave?
Returning to work after maternity leave can feel unexpectedly emotional, even for senior women and experienced leaders. You may look “back” on paper, but inside everything feels different.
Whether this is your first return or you’re a second-time mum navigating work with two children, this transition deserves structured support.
Through 1:1 leadership coaching, I help mothers returning to work re-build confidence, navigate identity shifts, and lead without burning out.
What makes Just Matrescence® so different?
Motherhood didn’t shrink your leadership, it changed it.
Matrescence is the identity shift that re-shapes values, energy and priorities.
We name your current season and translate it into practical strengths, without “bouncing back” to an old self that no longer fits.
Based in New Malden, Kingston-upon-Thames, serving South West London and international clients online.
Coaching sessions run in person and via video across time zones.
