Three ways to work together

Pick the level that fits where you are.

From parents who booked

The babies these plans were built around.

Laid off mid-leave

“I was unexpectedly laid off while on maternity leave. Ashley helped me understand my rights and maximize my leave. I ended up taking 8 months of paid leave.”

Annie M.

7 months of paid leave

“My HR team was floored by how prepared I was. They had my leave dates wrong. Twice. Thankfully, I had Ashley and our plan in place.”

Katie P.

Nothing left behind

“She created a personalized leave plan to ensure I maximized every benefit available to me and didn’t leave any time on the table.”

Peaches B.

Best of three

“This was my third baby and third leave. You’d think I’d know the process by now, but Ashley helped me get the best leave out of all three.”

Irmeen Y.
