Career and Cradle: Parenting support from the beginning

Preconception, Pregnancy, Postpartum…

it is never too early or late to get the support you deserve

Whether you're transitioning into parenthood, navigating maternity leave, re-entering the workforce after leave, thinking of a “power pause,” or navigating both responsibilities at once — Career and Cradle will guide you to find harmony, avoid burnout, and align your professional and personal values.

Emotional exploration and support without diagnosis or stigma

Coaching designed and led by Dr. Buxton, reproductive and child psychiatrist, to help parents, caregivers, and professionals balance the dual roles of pursuing a meaningful career while nurturing their family life.
