Parental Leave coaching
Thoughtful support for one of
life’s biggest transitions
For Parents
Welcoming a new child is life-changing and the transition between work and parenthood often brings uncertainty, identity shifts, and emotional highs and lows. Coaching offers space to prepare for leave, navigate the early postpartum season, and return to work with clarity, confidence, and support.
You’ll receive guidance on:
Planning for a leave that works for your needs and your team
Managing identity changes, boundaries, and emotions during leave
Returning to work in a way that feels sustainable and empowering
Navigating workplace dynamics and advocating for yourself with confidence
We work with birthing and non-birthing parents, adoptive parents, and those in any stage of family-building.
For Employers
When organizations support new parents well, retention, morale, and overall well-being improve. Coaching can be offered as part of your employee benefits, wellness initiatives, or return-to-work programs.
Employer coaching includes:
Supporting team members through each phase of the leave process
Crafting clear communication and expectations for smoother transitions
Reducing risk of burnout and turnover
Fostering a family-inclusive and trauma-informed workplace culture
We can work directly with HR, supervisors, or employee resource groups to build a coaching offering that fits your goals.
Why it matters
When the transition into parenthood is supported, everyone benefits: families, workplaces, and communities. Selah North brings both clinical insight and real-world tools to make that support meaningful and actionable.
Coaching is not therapy, but it can be therapeutic. We support your mental health while staying focused on your goals, growth, and the big picture.
