Maternity Returners Coaching

Helping women balance their role as a mum and a professional and create their unique way to “have it all”, increase well-being and FLOURISH.

I create a safe and non-judgemental space to explore new ways of thinking, to discuss shifting work and parental values, to assess the support network available and provide guidance on energy and time management.

Maternity Returners Coaching helps women adjusting to their new roles support and space to explore changing identity and needs. Clients learn to use and apply coaching tools to deal with new challenges and future changes to create the balance they need to be at their best.

Before

Ideally, I would start working with an expecting mum to help her prepare for her handover at work and to leave work at work. We would also discuss this life changing event in terms of identity, organization and beliefs.

During

It’s an optional session in which clients tend to reflect on a new role and identity. We would look at resources available, support required and boundaries to maximize return on time and energy investment. We would also prepare for returning to work if applicable.

After

After returning to work we would look at my clients’ strengths, values and ambitions to develop an action plan to create a realistic work-life-family balance, as well as to find career direction and set goals based on their new reality.

What do my clients say?

It was a great pleasure and experience to do maternity coaching with Ewa. At first I was a bit skeptical to the idea of coaching but with open attitude of Ewa, experience she has and the amazing desire to help other person it turned out so helpful and instructive! We went through all the challenges I had after my 1 year maternity leave, step by step, and for all challenges we prepared my own action plan with a timetable that I was able to implement at my own pace at a given period in my life. Everything I could not coupe with, I could not find an answer for, Ewa tried to explain giving real examples, which I really appreciated a lot. Moreover, the flexible attitude towards the sessions so we could really talk when I had the capacity to do it well was something really great! I enjoyed these sessions a lot. Ewa is really passionate about her work, highly professional and I would truly recommend everybody to have a talk with Ewa and to see how coaching with her can bring balance to your life.

I worked with Ewa after returning from maternity leave, and I can only be grateful for what she helped me to realize. Ewa was able to build a real relationship of trust from the very first session. Ewa knew how to hear and listen to the ” not said ” and helped me to become aware of what would be the most beneficial and best for me for my future. Her listening skills and empathy make Ewa an excellent coach, whom I can only highly recommend to anyone who wishes to move forward and become aware of who they really are.

From our very first session, Ewa was warm and welcoming, creating a safe space for me to share my concerns and fears. She listened attentively and asked insightful questions that helped me identify my strengths and skills. Ewa helped me to see that being a mother and a professional were not mutually exclusive, and that I had valuable skills and experiences to bring to the table.
Ewa provided me with practical tools and strategies to help me manage my time more effectively and prioritize my tasks. She also helped me to develop a self-care routine that allowed me to take care of myself as well as my family and work commitments.
Ewa’s guidance and support were instrumental in empowering me to return to my professional life with renewed confidence and self-assurance. I felt empowered not only as a mother and a professional but most importantly as a woman. Ewa helped me to see that my experiences as a mother had given me a unique perspective and set of skills that I could use to my advantage in my professional life.
Overall, my experience with Ewa as a maternity coach was incredibly positive, and I would highly recommend her to any new mother looking to navigate the transition back to their professional life. Ewa is a kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable coach who truly cares about helping her clients reach their full potential.
