The world measures what you do.
Motherhood transforms who you are.
You deserve support that understands both.
The return to work is one of the most defining — and underserved — chapters of motherhood, and it requires real support.
Mommerz provides support for the postpartum return to work transition centered on evidence-based care, holistic wellness, and confident self-leadership.
Born from the nickname given to our founder by her daughter, Mommerz is a reminder that motherhood is equal parts love and transformation.
Motherhood as Leadership
Join Alexa Starks and special guest Kayla McGuire as they explore the transformative journey of motherhood and its parallels to leadership. Discover how skills honed in parenting can empower women in the workplace, and learn practical steps for new moms to harness their leadership potential. Whether you're navigating the return to work or seeking to redefine your identity, this episode offers valuable insights and resources to support your journey.
Motherhood deserves more support
—not just expectations.
Becoming a mother is one of life’s most powerful transformations. Yet most support ends where the real journey begins: after birth, when you’re learning how to be both yourself and your baby’s mother.
You’re expected to heal, adjust, and return to work as if nothing’s changed.
But everything has.
This season should be about far more than survival.
In fact, it can be your most profound opportunity for growth.
The Four Pillars of Mommerz
-
![]()
Informed Advocacy
We provide doula-informed, evidence-based guidance so you understand your body, your recovery, and your options—medically, emotionally, and professionally. Informed advocacy helps you return to work with confidence, speaking up for what you need in systems that weren’t designed with mothers in mind.

Nourishment & Energy
Practical, return-to-work–friendly nutrition strategies support healing, mental clarity, and sustained energy without adding overwhelm. Because when your body is nourished, you can show up to work and life with resilience instead of depletion.

Somatic Regulation
Yoga and breathwork practices help regulate stress, calm anxiety, and reconnect you with your body during demanding seasons. These tools build the capacity to recover, reset, and respond—so strength becomes sustainable, not exhausting. -

Strategic Systems
We apply proven project management and leadership frameworks to help you prioritize, stack habits, and build sustainable routines at home and work. Strategic systems turn chaos into clarity—so you work smarter, not harder, in this new season.
Why return to work support matters
68% of working mothers say their manager and workplace culture are the biggest factors in whether their return to work feels supportive—or not.

That’s why Mommerz focuses not only on individual support for mothers, but also on helping organizations create healthier, more sustainable return-to-work experiences during one of the highest-risk transition points in a woman’s career.

Meet Kayla
Kayla McGuire is the founder of Mommerz, a holistic support and leadership-integration practice born from the belief that motherhood is not the end of who we were — it’s the evolution of who we are becoming. After years helping founders and teams navigate change, Kayla realized the same tools that guide effective leaders are the tools women need most as they step into motherhood and prepare to return to work.
Drawing from her background in project management and leadership consulting, along with specialized training in perinatal nutrition, emotional intelligence, somatic practices, and birth support, she helps mothers navigate identity shifts, rebuild confidence, and create systems that support both wellbeing and ambition. Her work blends evidence-based care with real-life compassion, meeting women not just in their strength, but in the moments they’re still finding it.
Kayla is especially passionate about supporting women as they return to work — not to who they were, but to who they’re becoming. This season deserves support that strengthens identity, wellbeing, and leadership, not pressure to “bounce back.”

Let’s talk
Please note: scheduling is reserved for women interested in individual coaching or organizations exploring the Mommerz return-to-work program.
Because I provide high-touch, personalized support, I accept only 2–3 individual coaching clients per month. This allows me to be fully present and deeply supportive during this important transition.
If you’re serious about moving forward with perinatal or return-to-work support—or would like to learn more about bringing Mommerz to your organization—please use the scheduler to book a consultation.

Every pregnancy, postpartum, and return-to-work journey is different—and support should be, too.
If you’re a mother navigating the transition back to work, or an organization interested in offering meaningful return-to-work support, I’d love to hear from you.
Share a little about your journey, and I’ll follow up to explore how Mommerz can support you during this season.
Can’t wait to meet you,
