Parental Transition Coaching
I founded Nest & Next because I saw a gap in how we support people through one of the most transformative moments in their lives: becoming a parent while building a career. As a HR professional, I witnessed first-hand how many talented individuals struggled to balance their professional identity with their evolving personal life—often in silence, often alone.
Parental leave isn't just time away from work—it's a major life transition. And like any big change, it deserves space, reflection, and support. I created Nest & Next to offer just that: thoughtful, practical, and human-centred coaching that helps parents feel empowered, seen, and ready—whether they’re preparing to step away or finding their feet again.
My mission is simple: to make parental transitions a moment of growth, not guilt. A moment of alignment, not anxiety. Because when parents feel supported, everyone benefits—individuals, families, and workplaces alike.

My name is Sarah, I’m a People professional with more than a decade experience across a variety of companies, coach, psychologist and parent of two—driven by a deep belief that big life transitions deserve meaningful support. Over the past decade, I’ve worked in global HR roles across a range of industries, helping individuals grow and organisations evolve.
But it was becoming a parent myself—and supporting others through that journey—that truly reshaped how I view work, identity, and wellbeing. I started Nest & Next to bring together my professional experience and personal insight, creating space for parents to feel seen, supported, and empowered during one of life’s most profound changes.
I’m here to help people lead with clarity, care, and confidence—at home and at work.
