Welcome to Parenting for Professionals

We offer employers maternity coaching programmes, as well as coaching and support for parents at work.  Through our comprehensive workshops, we support companies to attract and retain women, and help parents gain a happy and productive work-life balance. 

We offer new parents one-to-one coaching as well as a wealth of facts, tips and advice on how to manage your career through pregnancy, maternity leave and on your return to work.  Our unique Panel of Experts broadens the depth of expertise on offer to you.

We passionately believe in supporting pregnant women and parents at work, because:

 
Firms who don't employ mothers miss out because working mothers tend to be incredibly focused when they are in work and give 150% because they're so grateful for being allowed to work flexibly. For the same reason, they're also very loyal.
Equalities Review
 
 
Research confirms that the stress and anxiety that a mother experiences during her pregnancy can negatively impact the developing baby and may have long term effects and concerns in later life.
O'Connor, 2000
 
 
93% of working parents would be more likely to stay with their employers if they were supported at work as a working parent.

We offer in depth website support, workshops, networking and coaching, all underpinned by our Panel of Experts.
