Parental leave can feel overwhelming. In fact, it is the single largest off-ramping point for parents from the corporate world.
But we are here to change all of that.
Hi.
I’m Allison, founder of My Parental Leave and Return to work specialist. After 15 years in HR, I watched women struggle with their return to work after maternity leave and I watched companies lose incredible talent. It wasn’t until my own maternity leaves that I truly experienced the struggles people face when on leave and when returning from work. So I decided to change all of that. I rallied a powerhouse team of women who were experts in their fields; return-to-work experts, employment lawyers, HR professionals and mental health teams in collaboration with leaders in pregnancy and infant loss, perinatal mental health, lactation consultants and more, all so that YOU don’t have to go through what we went through.
We are stronger together.
And together we can change the working world.

Parental leave can feel overwhelming. In fact, it is the single largest offramping point for parents from the corporate world. Too many incredible employees are leaving the workforce because employers are not prepared to support them during their transition to parental leave and return to work.
