Maternity Coach Training

Maternity coach training taking place online

Maternity Coach training with The Maternity Coach

Two-day virtual training course

Two days of specialist training with follow-up support

Develop your understanding of matrescence, the transition to motherhood, and how to support women through maternity or parental leave and their return to work. This virtual course is designed for trained coaches who want to develop their practice in this specialist area.

You will explore women’s career development, common issues brought to maternity coaching, standards and ethics, and how to integrate this work into your practice. You will reflect on the transition to parenthood and how to use our staged coaching framework with practice using our Parental Leave Coaching Toolkit.

Your toolkit licence

The course fee includes an ongoing individual licence to use the version of the Parental Leave Coaching Toolkit supplied on the course with your own coaching clients. There is no annual renewal fee. Additional tools will be available through separately priced future workshops, subject to their licence terms.

The licence is personal to you as the trained coach. It does not permit sharing the toolkit with other coaches, rebranding it, selling it or using it to train others. Full terms are set out in the individual licence agreement.

At the end of the training you will:

  • understand the transition to motherhood
