Feel Supported LIVE Workshop

Maternity Leave Planning for Small Business Owners to help you transition smoothly - before, during, and after maternity leave

Running on Tuesday 24th June and Sunday 29th June

Imagine entering maternity leave feeling calm, supported, and spacious - knowing that your business is prepared, your clients understand what to expect, and you have a soft, flexible plan in place for your return.

This isn’t about overloading yourself with rigid strategies or trying to do it all. It’s about creating a plan that feels good; one that supports your wellbeing, honours your needs though matrescence, and gives you room to be fully present for this next chapter of life.

Because you deserve to pause with peace of mind, knowing that both you and your business are gently held.

A Gentle, Practical Approach to Maternity Leave Planning

This live workshop is here to help you plan your maternity leave with ease, clarity, and a good dose of compassion (the last thing you need right now is another “thing to complete” on your to-do list).

You’ll be gently supported to:

✅ Create a clear, realistic plan for stepping away from your business.
✅ Dig into your finances so you can feel more secure and more prepared.
✅ Set up light-touch systems or automations to keep things ticking over.
✅ Map out a simple, flexible return-to-work plan that feels right for you.

And maybe most importantly…

You’ll start to feel way less overwhelmed, more grounded, and far more ready for this wild, beautiful, life-changing transition.

We’ll do this live, together, with space for your questions, your messy thoughts, and your “what the hell am I even doing?!” moments. You’ll also get invited to join a Telegram Group to help you build a solid and supportive community to be there for you when you need it.

Also included:

💝 a downloadable workbook if you’d like to print for notes throughout the workshop.

💝 pre-recorded guided visualisation.

💝 journal prompts.

💝 a grounding EFT (tapping) sequence

💝 optional templates (cash flow forecast / social media content / client emails) that I use in my business

💝 your workshop investment returned when you book a 1:1 session with me before 10th June

🕰️ Not Enough Time

💭 "I am juggling so much already. Finding time to plan for maternity leave feels impossible."

✅ How the workshop can help: The planning process is broken into small, manageable sessions, and it’s recorded so you can go back to it whenever you need…no pressure, no rush.

Your biggest concern…

🤝 Feeling Alone in the Process

💭 "I am responsible for everything in my business. Preparing for this change feels isolating."

✅ How the workshop can help: As well as having me to support you through this, you’ll also have others on the workshop, and in the Telegram group. Plus - the beauty of attending live means you get to soak up that gorgeous energy, leaving you feeling truly supported.

😱 The Fear of Losing Clients or Momentum

💭 "I have worked hard to build my business. What if I lose clients or struggle to get work after my leave?"

✅ How the workshop can help: We’ll explore these feelings and openly discuss them in the group. The workshop looks at how to keep your business warm while you are away, so you have a smoother transition back.

📱 Social Media & Content Pressure

💭 "I do not want to disappear while I am away, but creating content in advance feels overwhelming."

✅ How the workshop can help: We’ll look at simple, realistic content strategies, such as batching, scheduling, or outsourcing, depending on what feels right for you.

🌀 Comparison & Self-Doubt

💭 "Am I doing this right? Have I planned enough? What if I forget something important?"

✅ How the workshop can help: There is no one right way to do this. This workshop will help you tune into what’s right for you, without the pressure of following someone else’s path.

❓ Anything else

💭 [Insert your concern here]

✅ How the workshop can help: You’re welcome to ask your questions at the end of the workshop, and we’ll explore answers / options for whatever it is you’re coming up against. This can be opened up to the group and discussed in a supportive and respectful, leaving you with a feeling of validation and, hopefully, feeling empowered.

You’ve poured so much love and energy into building your business. And now, as you prepare for maternity leave, it’s totally natural for some big questions to surface...

💭 How do I step away without losing everything I’ve built?
💭 Can I really afford to take time off?
💭 Will my clients forget about me while I’m gone?
💭 How on earth will I return when I have no idea what life will look like?

If any of this sounds familiar? These worries are valid, and so many self-employed folks find themselves feeling the same way.

But taking maternity leave shouldn’t feel like an impossible puzzle. You don’t have to keep pushing through or try to figure it all out by yourself.

That’s exactly why Feel Supported exists…to help you gently plan your leave, feel more financially and emotionally prepared, and know that when the time comes, you can step away and return in a way that feels right for you.

Let’s talk about matrescence

I’m sure you know all about Matrescence, but in case this is new to you - it is the transformation someone goes through when they become a parent. A bit like adolescence, but waaaaay less talked about. It’s not just physical - it’s emotional, mental and spiritual. Your identity shifts. Your priorities change. The way you see the world, your work, your time…it all of it starts to move.

This workshop isn’t just about preparing your business for your time off, it’s about preparing you. It’s about giving you tools and space to navigate the uncertainty, the changes, the wobbles.

Because this season isn’t just about planning. It’s about becoming.

Feel Prepared, Supported, and in Control of Your Maternity Leave

With Feel Supported, you’ll gently create a maternity leave plan that feels realistic, spacious, and aligned with your version of ease. This isn’t about hustling to tick every box or keeping your business running at full pelt. It’s about making intentional, kind choices that support your wellbeing, your income, and your peace of mind…both while you step away and when you return.

This workshop invites you to slow down, tune in, and plan in a way that honours the season you’re entering, not just as a business owner, but as a human preparing for one of life’s biggest transitions.

Here’s what you’ll be supported to do:

✔ Shape a personalised maternity leave plan that reflects your business, your values, your income needs, and your wellbeing.
✔ Explore your finances and cash flow in a calm, practical way so you can feel more secure, adjust gently where needed, and plan ahead with clarity.
✔ Set up light-touch systems to support client communication and keep your business visible (if that’s something you want), with options for automating, outsourcing, or simply pressing pause.
✔ Use the provided planning tools, templates, and content strategies to take the pressure off and free up headspace for what matters most.
✔ Develop a flexible return-to-work plan that helps you ease back in slowly and confidently and without pressure to jump back to full capacity before you're ready.

You don’t have to do it all. You don’t have to get it perfect. You do get to make this process feel calm, supported, and true to you.

Who Is This For?

*

Who Is This For? *

This workshop is designed for self-employed women / non-binary business owners who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, who want to:

  • Confidently communicate about their pregnancy to clients without feeling guilty about taking time off.

  • Relax their expectations and embrace a slower, more intuitive way of planning that aligns with their values and current season of life.

  • Take care of themselves while navigating pregnancy symptoms without neglecting their clients' needs.

  • Feel financially secure during maternity leave, allowing them to focus fully on what matters most (spending time with their new baby).

  • Maintain a thriving business whilst navigating the exciting journey of motherhood.

Workshop Flow

The workshop will be live, with 10 minutes to welcome you and help you feel grounded (settled in), an hour for the content, and 20 minutes set aside at the end for your questions.

There are 2 dates to choose from - Tuesday 24th June at 630pm, or Sunday 29th June at 930am. (these will be the same workshop - so you only need to attend one)

  • You’ll be welcomed into the space and once you’ve settled in and said “Hi” on the chat, I’ll guide us through a gentle grounding meditation to help you fully land.

  • 🌿 Create a maternity leave plan that feels intentional, achievable, and aligned with your needs.

    This session will help you gain clarity on what you truly want your maternity leave to look like, so you can set realistic goals and prepare in a way that feels supportive, and less overwhelming.

    ✔ Guided visualisation to help you map out your ideal leave
    ✔ Journal prompts to explore what balance looks like for you
    ✔ Gentle goal-setting to break your vision into actionable steps

    ➕ Optional 1:1 Call: If you would like extra support in refining your vision, setting realistic goals, or simply talking through any feelings that come up, you can book a session with me to feel more guided and reassured.More details on how to book in the workshop!

  • 🌿 Feel financially secure by assessing your income, cash flow, and maternity allowance options.

    Money can be one of the biggest worries when planning maternity leave, but having a clear plan can bring so much peace of mind. We’ll look at realistic financial preparation so you feel more in control of your finances.

    ✔ Maternity allowance & financial support (links to official resources)
    ✔ Cash flow forecasting tool to plan income, expenses, and savings
    ✔ Identifying where to adjust spending and simplify expenses

  • 🌿 Keep your business visible while you step away, with simple, sustainable strategies.

    You do not have to disappear while on leave (unless you want to). This session will help you set up simple systems to keep your business warm, communicate clearly with clients, and create a low-effort visibility plan that suits your energy levels.

    ✔ OOO / client communication to set clear expectations
    ✔ Batch content strategy to help pre-plan posts, blogs, and newsletters
    ✔ Gentle marketing strategies to keep potential clients warm without daily effort

  • 🌿 Prioritise your wellbeing and ease back into work with confidence and clarity – while giving yourself space to grow into this new version of you.

    Your return to work doesn’t have to feel rushed, overwhelming or like you’re “going back to how things were.” Here, we’ll explore how to create a gentle, flexible return-to-work plan that works for you – with room for rest, reflection, and real life.

    We’ll also introduce the concept of matrescence – the profound identity shift that comes with becoming a mother. This isn't just about adjusting your schedule; it’s about honouring the changes in your values, energy, and capacity, and allowing those to shape the way you work moving forward.

    ✔ Guided meditation to help you mentally & emotionally prepare to ‘log off’ before leave (a pre-recorded version shall be available to you to play back any time you need it, too)
    ✔ A flexible return-to-work plan that fits your rhythm and real life
    ✔ Self-care toolkit
    ✔ Personalised check-in framework to reassess your workload and make aligned adjustments

    ➕ Optional 1:1 Call: Whether you need reassurance, space to talk things through, or help adjusting your plans, this is a space to return to yourself and what you really need – with support, clarity and compassion. More info on how to book in the workshop!

  • Bring your questions, and offer your insights. What shifts did you experience throughout the workshop? What is the biggest takeaway for you? How would you describe this workshop to others?

    I’ll also invite you to book your 1:1 calls with me at a special reduced rate.

The story of Feel Supported

Hi - I’m Heather. Over the years, I’ve worked with pregnant business owners just like you to plan for their maternity leave. And if there’s one thing I know, it’s this:

You're only human, and it’s very likely that you actually can’t do it all… and you shouldn’t have to.

I created this workshop because I want to guide you through this transition with clarity, confidence, and ease. It is not about doing more. It is about doing what truly matters in a way that feels manageable and right for you.

This is not a one-size-fits-all plan. It is a flexible framework designed to meet you where you are, so you can listen to your body, honour your energy, and take things at your own pace. Whether you want to keep things light and simple or go deeper into planning, you will have the tools and support to make the choices that feel best for you…because you deserve a maternity leave that feels intentional, supported, and aligned with your needs, not something you have to “power through.”

To be honest…what I really want to do is jump into the screen, land by your side and give you a massive (consensual) hug, but, that’s not possible (yet!?), so this feels like the next best thing!

Maternity Leave Support Testimonials

  • “I approached Heather for some help as I am a business owner and was approaching maternity leave. After interviewing about 7 other VA’s and, I found Heather to be the best fit by far. ...She is extremely thorough, and we worked alongside each other for a couple of months whilst she learnt the ins and outs of how to do the things I needed help with. Heather’s support has been invaluable to allow me to fully relax on my maternity leave knowing my business is in good hands... I’m so pleased to have found Heather and would recommend her to anyone.”

    Kat Bithel, Nude Nutrition

  • “I honestly don’t think I would manage being a pretty full time mum 2 kids under 3 whilst running my business without Heather. Whether it be having someone to bounce an idea off, some admin I just don’t have the time at my desk to do or something I just need taken off my plate, Heather is always compassionate, intuitive and bloody brilliant! I couldn’t be more grateful.”

    Chloe Clarke, Finally Free Academy

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Here’s why I’m turning Feel Supported into a live session instead:

    • We all learn differently: Some people love dipping in and out of a course when it suits them.Others prefer more structure, real-time answers, and the comfort of being supported by an actual human. I want to meet you where you are.

    • This season is a tender one: Planning maternity leave isn’t just another admin task. It’s emotional. It can feel big, uncertain, and completely overwhelming. I'm sure you don’t need another freebie or checklist. You need a space to breathe and be supported with care.

    • I want you to feel my care: Not just through a pretty workbook or a video link, but in how I show up...in how I hold space for you to ask questions, to pause, to feel into what you really need.

  • I hear you, and honestly, that’s exactly why I turned this into a live session. You don’t need more videos or PDFs sitting in your inbox, waiting to be tackled “someday.” You need a real-time space to breathe, get support, and make a gentle, realistic plan that meets you where you are. This is designed to lighten your load, not add to it.

  • I’m hosting this workshop on 2 dates, so hopefully one of them will be good for you. If not - no worries at all! You’ll get access to the full replay, so you can watch (or rewatch) it whenever suits you.

    You’ll also still get access to my reduced rate for 1:1 support calls - I’ve got you covered! x

  • Not at all. Whether you’re a coach, creative, yoga teacher, nutritionist, therapist, freelancer (or anything else), this workshop is here to help you create a plan that works for your unique business. It’s not one-size-fits-all, and you won’t be shoved into a rigid formula.

    However - it is gonna be a little woo-woo, so if you’re not into feeling your feels and tuning into guided meditations, maybe give it a miss?

  • Both! This isn’t just about systems and plans (though we’ll cover those too). It’s also about making space for the tender, emotional parts… the identity shifts, the wobbles, the uncertainty. You’ll be supported as a whole human, not just a business owner.

  • The live workshop is £33.

    The recording shall be available to buy for £25 afterwards, excluding the live Q&A.

    N.B. If you sign up to the live but cannot attend on the night, you’ll still get the full recording, including the Q&A.

  • Please note that bookings are non-refundable. If you can no longer attend your chosen date, you will receive access to the recorded replay (without the live Q&A) after the event.

    If you experience any technical issues or need help accessing the workshop materials, please get in touch - I’m always happy to help make sure you get what you need.
