Services for California parents
Choose the support that helps you breathe easier.
You do not need to become a leave expert. You only need the right amount of help for the question, or the whole plan, in front of you.
Three ways to work together
Pick the level that fits where you are.
Most moms lose out on at least 10 weeks at home and thousands of dollars, usually because nobody told them what they qualified for until it was too late.
Parental Leave Consultation
Bring the pressing questions, confusing acronyms, filing dates, job-protection worries, or the HR conversation you keep rehearsing. Not a course and not a PDF. Thirty minutes of my full attention on your situation, to get you unstuck.
- 30 minutes of video timeUninterrupted and just for you
- A read on your specific benefitsWhat you actually qualify for, in plain English, and the order to file in
- Straight answers about your employerBased on the policy documents you send me ahead of time
- A clear next stepSo you leave knowing exactly what to do and when
The Complete Parental Leave Package
Your entire leave, mapped and stacked to maximize every day and every dollar. This is not a template you fill in yourself. We build it together, you get it in writing, and I stay reachable from pregnancy through postpartum while you actually use it.
- A 60 minute planning sessionYour dates, your employer, your benefits
- A custom leave planExactly what to file, in what order, on what date
- Benefit sequencingState, employer, and personal benefits, stacked in the right order
- Talking points for HRWhat to say, and when to say it
- Three months of follow-upBecause leave rarely goes exactly as drawn
The Maternity Leave Method
Most California moms can stack 29.3 weeks of job-protected leave, about 24 of them paid by the state before a single employer or private benefit is added. This is the whole system in order, so you can build your own plan and know your thinking is right.
- Every program and law that applies to youIncluding the fine print almost nobody reads
- Your leave, mapped and stackedAround your dates, your employer, and any private benefits
- My custom leave calendar and calculatorThe mapping and the math, already done for you
- How to bring it to HRAnd how to not lose a day or a dollar you are owed

From parents who booked
The babies these plans were built around.
Laid off mid-leave
โI 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.โ
Annie M.
7 months of paid leave
โMy 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.โ
Katie P.
Nothing left behind
โShe created a personalized leave plan to ensure I maximized every benefit available to me and didnโt leave any time on the table.โ
Peaches B.
Best of three
โThis was my third baby and third leave. Youโd think Iโd know the process by now, but Ashley helped me get the best leave out of all three.โ
