Reconnect Coaching
Personalised coaching to regain confidence, clarify your priorities and build a new balance after your baby’s arrival.
Is your maternity or paternity leave coming to an end? Are you anxious about going back, about being apart from your baby, or about returning to your professional responsibilities? Or perhaps you have already gone back to work and feel the need to find your footing in this new organisation?
Becoming a parent deeply transforms our daily life, our priorities and sometimes the way we see ourselves. Between your baby’s needs, your relationship, your family organisation and your professional responsibilities, it can be hard to find a balance that looks like you.
Reconnect Coaching gives you a dedicated space to step back, better understand your needs, regain confidence and move forward calmly into this new stage of your life.
It is particularly suited to periods of transition, especially around the return to work after maternity or paternity leave.
It can help you:
- Prepare for your return to work with more confidence and peace of mind
- Find your place and your professional stance again after your leave
- Clarify your personal and professional priorities
- Identify the adjustments needed to protect your balance
- Organise your daily life and your time more effectively
- Work through questions tied to your new identity as a parent
- Build a family organisation more aligned with your needs
How does the coaching work?
Every coaching journey is built to measure, according to your situation and your goals.
Session after session, we define the priority topics together, explore your resources and identify concrete paths towards a balance that suits you.
Depending on your needs, the coaching can unfold over one or several sessions. A first conversation lets us define the most suitable format together.

FAQ
When should I start Reconnect Coaching?
The coaching can start before you go back to work, to prepare for that transition, but also after your return to the workplace if you feel the need to find your footing again.
Is Reconnect Coaching only for mothers?
No. This support is for every parent: mothers, fathers and co-parents.
A child’s arrival changes everyone’s balance, and every parent may feel the need to think about their new organisation and their priorities.
Is it only for expats?
Reconnect Coaching was designed with particular attention to expat families, who may live this transition in a different cultural and professional context.
That said, it can support any parent who wants to think about their balance after a child’s arrival.
Can my employer fund this coaching?
Some companies are now developing support around parenthood, quality of life at work or professional transitions.
We encourage you to talk to your HR department, to look at the funding options that exist.
What is the difference between Reconnect Coaching and stroller coaching?
Stroller coaching is a one-off session that lets you step back from a specific issue while enjoying a walk with your baby.
Reconnect Coaching is more of a journey through change. It is particularly suited when you are going through a significant transition, such as returning to work after maternity or paternity leave, or when you want to think more broadly about your personal and professional balance after your child’s arrival.
What is the difference between Reconnect Coaching and a perinatal consultation?
Perinatal consultations mainly support the needs that come with your baby’s arrival and with the first months of parenthood.
Reconnect Coaching is centred on your personal and professional development: your goals, your priorities, your confidence and your life balance.
Is this psychological support?
No. Reconnect Coaching is support oriented towards reflection, clarifying your goals and moving into action.
It does not replace psychological or therapeutic support when that is needed.

Not sure where to start?
Every expat family lives a different reality. Depending on your stage of pregnancy, your arrival in France, your family situation or what you need right now, some forms of support will suit you better than others.
In a first conversation, we take the time to get to know each other and to identify together the resources and support that best answer your situation.
