Personal & Professional Transitions
Coaching for Working Couples & Parental Leave Planning
Even the strongest relationships are strained during the transition to parenthood. Lack of sleep, never-ending housework and new fiscal concerns can lead to profound stress and a decline in marital satisfaction — all of which affect baby’s care. Not surprisingly, 69% of new parents experience conflict, disappointment, and hurt feelings.
Relationship Conflict Coaching For Parents prepares couples for life with baby and helps them be the best parenting team possible. In a relaxed and supportive environment, couples learn to strengthen their relationship and foster baby’s development during this challenging time.

- Set expectations with managers and colleagues to ensure a smooth transition

Client Love
Kristen’s sessions brought me the much needed calm and composure to my postpartum days. She was very flexible with my scheduling around my baby’s feeding times and husband’s work timings. She followed covid protocol.
She gave valuable postpartum planning tips and a had a calm listening approach. She also went above and beyond and helped by recommending pelvic floor physical therapy resources, and a nanny who worked out great for our childcare needs.
Overall, I would highly recommend Kristen’s services. -Kshira Bothell - Working Mother Mentoring Client
