Empowering maternity leave & return-to-work transitions

I support ambitious women throughout their maternity leave & return transition to set them up for success upon their re-entry and beyond.

Are you currently preparing for your leave but feel lost in the process? Or have you returned to work, feeling overwhelmed by your current conditions?

Connect with me! Together, we shape motherhood and your career on your terms so you can thrive.

They feel lost
in preparing for their maternity leave or their return to work, and they want to create the conditions for an empowered re-entry

Ambitious women come to me when

They feel overwhelmed and want to renegotiate their current conditions, so they align with their new needs and priorities as mothers

They feel stuck
or at a crossroads because their ‘old path’ no longer fits and they want to figure out ‘what’s next’

The women I work with are performing at very high standards.

But internally, they struggle, and they know they can’t keep going this way.

I’m here to support you in shaping motherhood & career on your terms.

Janine, Germany

I always felt like I was missing something in my life, both in my career and as a mother. I felt guilty when quitting my job and spending more time with my kids didn't bring the fulfillment I expected, leaving me even more confused. That’s when I started working with Isabel. Her coaching has truly changed my perspective. She helped me dig deep to discover my core values, giving me a clearer picture of what really matters to me. Now, I make decisions with confidence, knowing they align with my true self. Isabel’s support and understanding provided a safe space for this self-discovery. I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone feeling stuck or unsure of their path.”

Together, we set you up for success

The earlier you prepare yourself for the transition into motherhood, the smoother your experience will be, personally and professionally.

Therefore, we typically work across the four critical stages where motherhood & career overlap:

  1. Pre-leave - preparing the foundation

  2. On leave - recover & reflect

  3. Re-entry - readjust with clarity and confidence

  4. Beyond - redefining leadership & career direction

But no matter what stage you find yourself in right now. It’s never too late to reshape your conditions so you can thrive in motherhood and your career.

Let’s begin!

Shift from feeling

Overwhelmed → Focused

Exhausted → Energized

Guilty → Confident

Lost → In Flow

Surviving → Thriving

“Isabel's coaching helped me so much in gaining clarity and purpose as I went back to work. She gave me the tools I needed to feel recharged and empowered as we planned together what my next months could look like.”

Does this resonate?

  • I feel overwhelmed. I’m trying to be a ‘good mother’ while maintaining who I was before, both at work and in my social life. But this leaves me feeling like I’m never doing enough

  • I feel exhausted. Juggling motherhood and work is harder than I imagined, and I feel like a mess

  • I feel guilty. I keep it all together at work and at home, but I feel selfish for carving out time to recharge and do something just for me

  • I feel unfulfilled. My priorities have shifted since I became a mother, but my current work doesn’t support my new priorities. This leaves me neither feeling good enough as a professional nor a mother

  • I feel alone. No one seems to understand what I’m going through, and I feel alone and disconnected

  • I feel lost and confused. I don’t want to keep going this way, but I don’t know what to do or how to change

And you would love to

  • Feel like yourself again, confident in who you are and what makes you happy

  • Feel energized by caring for your needs and nourishing your well-being

  • Prioritize what really matters to you to be present during these precious moments

  • Feel truly connected, with yourself and with your loved ones

  • Feel accomplished and thrive in your career on your terms

  • Create a lifestyle that feels truly aligned and brings you and your family more joy

Emilie, Spain

“Before working with Isabel, I struggled to find any balance in my life, really feeling like I was pouring from an empty cup. I was at the edge of burnout. Now, I am much more aware of my needs and more capable of nurturing them. My well-being became a non-negotiable aspect of my life.”

Alex, US

“A session with Isabel feels like that first sip of coffee in the morning that sparks a burst of inspiration. She empowers you to step into your gifts, she challenges you to move past your edges, and gently shows you how to step into what you are truly capable of.“
