THE NEXT STEP

Sustainable foundations

 

Return to Work is a self-paced online journey for rebuilding work participation after time away.
It provides practical tools to assess capacity, restore professional confidence, and return with clear, workable boundaries. 

 

SERVICES

Our services are inspired by the real-life challenges of navigating chronic illness in your career.

We combine personal experience and practical tools to create empowering, sustainable solutions that support both your career and well-being.

When it's time to begin again

You may be working again already, preparing to return, or renegotiating how work fits into your life now.

Some capacity may be present but it's unclear how much or for how long during the day.

Expectations may be reappearing before you feel confident. Old habits and roles can return quickly, even when you know you feel differently.

Returning to work after illness or disruption often involves practical decisions, boundary setting, and recalibration of professional identity. This course provides structure for navigating this experience in a grounded way with clarity and confidence.

Begin Return to Work

"We understand the realities of chronic illness. Whether you're in the office, on the couch, or in bed, we meet you where you are—whatever your capacity is, we’re here for you."

—MICHELLE IRVING, FOUNDER
