Did You Know?
In California, employer and HR confusion around pregnancy disability leave is surprisingly common. While only ~28% of adults are even aware of PFL (Paid Family Leave). Employees reflect that there are major gaps in understanding. Many HR departments (especially in out-of-state companies) fail to recognize prenatal leave, standard post‑partum timelines, and SDI benefits.
Supporting your team through the journey of parenthood isn’t just good policy— it’s good business.
Don’t risk non-compliance, confusion or turnover.
My Story
Hi, I’m Ashley — Founder of The Maternity Guru
I help companies navigate California’s complex maternity leave laws with confidence. After years in SaaS leadership — and experiencing the system firsthand through three maternity leaves — I saw how easily even great employers can become overwhelmed.
Now, I partner with HR and leadership teams to simplify compliance, strengthen employee trust, and create a smoother, more supportive leave experience that improves retention and return-to-work success.
When parents feel supported, companies thrive — and I’m here to make that easier for everyone.
