The Fourth Trimester UAE

You don’t just need encouragement. You need strategy, support, and your rights protected.

Returning to work after having a baby isn’t just a schedule change. It’s a full-blown identity shift. One that most women in the UAE are expected to navigate with minimal time off, no nearby family, and sky-high expectations on every front.

You’re juggling sleep deprivation, career pressure, childcare logistics, and a completely new version of yourself.

You are not failing. You are doing something incredibly hard, with almost no support.

That’s why The Fourth Trimester UAE exists — to give working mums the space, support, and tools they should have had all along.

What you will gain

This one-of-a-kind coaching programme is flexible and tailored to your needs. Most mothers choose 8 weeks with one session per week, starting before their return to work and continuing into the weeks after rejoining — when real-life challenges kick in. But we’ll shape it around what you need most.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

✅ Practical HR & Legal Guidance

· Clear advice on UAE maternity and paternity leave laws.

· Guidance on your rights, entitlements, and options in the workplace.

· Support with how to approach conversations with HR and managers so you feel informed, confident, and never left guessing.

✅ Work-Life Logistics

· Step-by-step support with daily routines, childcare transitions, and energy management.

· Tools to make mornings, evenings, and handovers less stressful.

✅ Confidence & Identity

· Coaching to rebuild professional confidence after leave.

· Guidance to help you embrace this new chapter without losing yourself.

✅ Emotional & Personal Support

· A safe, judgment-free space to talk about the heavy stuff.

· Personalised coaching to help you feel grounded at work, at home, and in yourself.

Why This is Different

Most coaching programmes stop at mindset. This one combines HR expertise with deep, personalised coaching.

With 20 years of HR leadership experience, I can help you:

· Understand the UAE labor laws around maternity and paternity leave.

· Ask the right questions of your employer.

· Return with clarity about both your rights and your role.

It’s not just about confidence — it’s about confidence backed by knowledge and strategy.

This isn’t about bouncing back.
It’s about moving Forth — with clarity, confidence, and care.
