Coaching for Working Mothers in Transition
Rooted and Rising
Becoming a mother doesn't just change your circumstances, it changes who you are. Your sense of self, your relationship to work, your ambitions, your identity. That shift is real, it's significant, and it's almost never acknowledged in the workplace.
Coaching for working mothers questioning, shifting or rebuilding. ICF-accredited, psychology-grounded, embodied.
Whether you're freshly back from maternity leave or years in and quietly questioning the path you're on, this is space to reconnect with what's true for you now.
There's a moment, and it doesn't always arrive when you expect it, when the life you built before children stops fitting the woman you've become. It might land in the first week back from maternity leave. It might land four years later, in a meeting room, when you realise you've been performing a version of yourself that no longer feels true.
This is coaching for that moment, whenever it finds you.
Rooted & Rising is for working mothers navigating identity, career and what comes next. Not a return-to-normal programme, because there is no normal to return to. Something more honest than that: space to ground, listen, and rise into the version of your working life that actually fits the woman you are now.
Why you can trust this work
I'm an Associate Coach accredited by the International Coaching Federation with a background in delivering behavioural change and culture initiatives for FTSE 100 companies. That means I bring both the rigour of applied psychology and the human warmth of coaching to every session, because lasting change requires both.
I've trained at the University of Oxford and Imperial College London among others, and spent my career helping leaders build resilience, shift mindsets, and create meaningful growth: in themselves and in the organisations around them.
What I bring to this work isn't just professional expertise, however. I'm a mother of two, and I genuinely believe that the transition into motherhood is one of the most significant and underestimated shifts a woman will navigate. You deserve support that takes that seriously.
Coaching rooted in nature’s wisdom
Nature doesn’t rush its seasons, and neither should you. The framework I use draws on the natural rhythms of growth, rest, emergence and transformation, because finding your direction after motherhood is not a straight line. It is a season of becoming.
Ground
We begin by returning to your roots: your values, your instincts, the things that have always been true about you, even when the world moved fast.
Listen
There is wisdom in what you are already sensing. We work together to hear it, clearly, without judgment, and define how to honour it.
Rise
From that rooted place, we build a path forward that is sustainable, purposeful, and genuinely yours, not a replica of who you were before.
1:1 Coaching: space to find your way again
These sessions are shaped entirely around you. Whether you’re returning to work, rethinking your career, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself beyond motherhood, we’ll work through what’s feeling unclear or overwhelming. Together, we’ll create space to reflect, rebuild confidence, and define a direction that fits this new version of you, not the one you left behind.
Group Coaching: you’re not the only one figuring this out
Join a small group of women navigating similar transitions. There’s something powerful about hearing “me too” from people who genuinely get it. These sessions combine coaching with shared experience, helping you feel supported, normalised, and inspired as you work through your own next steps.
Your journey
You'll walk away with clarity on what you want from work, not what you think you should want. A concrete plan with real next steps, not just good intentions. The confidence to act on it, because you'll understand not just what to do, but why it matters to you.
A moment to pause and reflect

"I'd tried coaching before and always felt like I was being assessed or steered toward someone else's idea of success. This was completely different. The sessions felt genuinely relaxed... more like a conversation with someone who really listened than a structured programme. That non-judgmental space gave me the confidence to be honest about what I actually wanted, and the results surprised me. Within three months I'd made a career move I'd been putting off for two years. I can't recommend it highly enough."

"I was nervous going into coaching. I'm not great at talking about myself and I worried it would feel awkward or forced. It never did, not once. Laura has this incredible ability to make you feel completely at ease, and there's zero judgment, whatever you bring to the session. I came in wanting help with my confidence and left with so much more than that. Real, lasting changes that I still feel every day."
