Welcome To

Maternal Wellness In The Workplace

Our mission is to provide outstanding maternal mental health employee benefits to corporations and businesses. We understand that pregnancy and postpartum can be an overwhelming and stressful time. Our mission is to provide therapy and coaching to support working women at every stage of their motherhood journey.

At Maternal Wellness Solutions, we are committed to helping businesses create a supportive and inclusive work environment that helps retain valuable employees and reduces absenteeism and turnover costs for businesses. We believe that investing in maternal mental health is not only the right thing to do, but also a smart business decision that can yield significant benefits for both mothers and companies.

We are dedicated to helping working women manage the emotional, physical and psychological challenges that arise during the pregnancy and postpartum period.  Postpartum related disorders are the number one complication of childbirth affecting 1 in 5 women.  That doesn’t include the women who are struggling but don’t meet a postpartum diagnosis. Working moms face the extra challenge of caring for a new life while also managing a career. We know that with the right help, moms can feel better and thrive.

Maternal Wellness Services include virtual counseling and coaching sessions as well as educational & professional resources to offer comprehensive support.

Why Invest in Maternal Wellness:

  • Moms who have the right kind of help during pregnancy and postpartum have fewer missed workdays. In an article written by Victoria Franca for forbes.com, she found that “Healthy employees are more likely to show up to work—and they are likely to produce more once they’re at work. There is often an increase in productivity when employees know how to support their health and manage their stressors.”  Also noted in The Harvard Business Review “for every $1 invested in people, $6 was saved in company health care costs. With more tools available for employees through corporate wellness programs, the costs of sick leave, associated health plans, workers’ compensation and disability can also decrease.”

  • Moms who are supported are more likely to stay with their employer, are more satisfied at work, leading to higher company morale.  A study by Towers Watson and the Business Group on Health shows that “organizations with highly effective wellness programs report significantly lower voluntary attrition than do those whose programs have low effectiveness (9% vs. 15%).”

  • The cost of replacing a working mom costs companies 1.5 to 2 times her annual salary. (Gallup)  That is a conservative estimate.

  • Prioritizing mental health and wellness for families creates a supportive, inclusive work culture and environment. “When wellness is prioritized, employees feel valued and trust their employer more.” (forbes.com)

  • Investing in maternal wellness is a win-win for you and your employees. The investment benefits your company’s bottom line while increasing employee retention, increasing employees’ health, wellness, and productivity, and contributing to higher company morale.
