Work With Me
You've already paid for this time.
Let's make sure you actually get it.
You're here because you know there's more available to you than HR let on. You're right. The question is just where to start — and that depends on where you are right now.
Find yourself below.
Every parent who comes to me is in a slightly different place. Some are in their first trimester and want to get ahead of this properly. Some are in their third trimester and need answers fast. Some want the whole thing handled by someone who knows this system inside out.
There's a place for you here — wherever you are.
First or Second Trimester
You have time. Use it.

Any Trimester
1:1 Leave Planning Concierge
You want this handled. Completely. By someone who knows this inside out.
Some parents don't want a course or a guide. They want someone to sit down with them, build their leave plan from scratch, prepare them for every conversation, and stay with them until it's done. That's the Concierge.
Private, done-with-you support from your first trimester through to your return to work.
This is the highest-touch support I offer — and it's not right for everyone. It's designed for parents who want their leave handled correctly, completely, and without having to figure any of it out themselves.

IS THIS WORTH IT?
Let's run the numbers
California's leave benefits can pay the birthing parent 70–90% of their income for up to 25 weeks. Non-birthing partners qualify for up to 8 weeks of paid bonding leave. If you're both W-2 employees, your family could recover $50,000 or more from a system you've already paid into.
At an $80,000 salary, the birthing parent alone receives around $26,000 directly from the state. At $100,000 or more, it's $30,000 or more.
A missed deadline, a denied claim, a transition nobody warned you about. That's not a small mistake. That's tens of thousands of dollars and weeks with your baby you will never get back.
Working with me isn't an expense. It's the highest-return financial decision you'll make this pregnancy.
