Our Mission
“To become a valued and integral part of your wellbeing programme, delivering your organisation an empowered, resilient and productive workforce that believes in the commitment it takes for parents to stay mentally fit”
Our Programmes
We believe our work needs to be responsive to your business. Deliverable in person or securely over Zoom, our modular framework and bank of expertise allows us to adapt to the needs of your people and so the work we do will never be the same for two organisations.
Our team are able to create a truly HUMAN well being programme, focussed on the many aspects of parenthood, providing tools and techniques to nurture a healthy working environment in which productivity can thrive. Having the courage to recognise your people as HUMAN and choosing to embrace that is what makes all of our clients uniquely forward thinking organisations.
ANTENATAL EDUCATION.
Our antenatal programmes are all about being prepared. Through a series of facilitated group sessions we explore practical elements of parenthood alongside mental wellbeing and consider how we can effectively integrate our role at work with parenthood.
These sessions not only provide tools and techniques which are easy to implement, but crucially through shared experience, builds a network of colleagues who are able to support each other on their parenting journeys at work.
By preparing employees effectively for the challenges of parenthood, employers benefit from a more productive, engaged and loyal team who recongnise the value of being seen as HUMAN.
Delivery: In person or over Zoom
Antenatal education is typically run as 3 x 2.5 hour sessions over a 4 week period.
FACILITATED SUPPORT GROUPS.
Everyone’s journey in parenthood is unique but we almost always share common challenges. Handled in isolation these challenges can be the beginning of much bigger problems but with facilitated peer support we are able to find constructive solutions that change that outcome.
We have witnessed the transformative power shared experience and vulnerability can have in resulting in real sustainable change.
By pairing relevant expertise for each session with our experience of helping hundreds of families, we create safe spaces founded on trust and support that encourages self care, mental fitness and resilience.
Delivery: In person or over Zoom
Group sessions are arranged flexibly around your organisation and typically run for 1.5 hours per session.
PARENTING SUPPORT CLINICS.
We recognise that not every experience in parenthood is suited to a group environment.
Our one-to-one clinics provide a safe and confidential space for your employees to explore the individual challenges they may be facing. By thinking through their options and considering solutions we are able to help them navigate these challenges effectively, positively impacting both their home and work life.
Delivery: In person or over Zoom
Typical clinics run in a morning or afternoon and consist of 4 x 45 minute sessions bookable in advance.
POSITIVE PARENTHOOD SEMINARS.
The challenges of parenthood are many and varied but many are often kept behind closed doors.
We believe in an open and honest culture that isn’t afraid to talk about difficult subjects.
Our extensive network of professionals and peers allows us to share our professional knowledge and lived experience on subjects that normalise the challenges of parenthood and encourage positive outcomes both at work and at home.

Our Values
It starts with human connection.
Taking an experience led approach from the hundreds of families we have helped, we are able to build connections that encourage trust on a HUMAN level, producing honest and genuine feedback for employees to explore and your business to take away.
Vulnerability is a super power.
We pride ourselves in a process that encourages individuals to trust that vulnerability is not something to be afraid of but a strength to be proud of and the most powerful tool in our armoury when taking care of our emotional wellbeing.
Mental fitness takes commitment.
We are not born with all the tools we need, we all have to learn. Just like going to the gym for physical fitness, mental fitness is a life long process that constantly challenges all of us. Performing at our best for ourselves, our families and at work requires time, energy and commitment, but most importantly the courage to seek the right support at the right time.
No substitute for experience.
Having battled Post Natal Depression, understanding the corporate environment and helping countless families manage their own perinatal mental health journeys, we know how complicated parenthood can be. It is that experience and expertise that enables us to appreciate individual circumstances unique to each of us and respond with empathy, authenticity and acceptance, to find the right way forward to a healthier work life balance.
Creating safe spaces.
Confidential and non judgemental spaces provide individuals with the safety and security to be able to be vulnerable and take emotional risks. As an employer you can be assured that your employees wellbeing is at the forefront of our minds ensuring everyone who participates in our programmes is able to walk away feeling comfortable with the topics they are brave enough to explore.
Trust is essential.
Trust is an integral part of our relationship with both participants and employers alike. To maximise the output for both parties, we expect employees to feel free to explore their experiences without consequence and similarly we ask employers to trust us with their wellbeing policies, allowing us to bridge the gap and build a better working relationship. With trust we are able to better inform businesses with our feedback and achieve genuine trust between employers and employees.
