Maternity Leave for The Beauty & Wellness Professional

Maternity Leave for The Beauty & Wellness Professional

Planning your maternity leave in the beauty or wellness industry may feel a little overwhelming...like you’re venturing into the unknown.

How much time do you take off?
How do you plan financially?
How do you accommodate your clientele?

Many of us are contract (1099) employees, meaning if we don’t work, we don’t get paid. There’s no paid time off or paid maternity leave. Or maybe you work somewhere as an hourly or salary employee and your main concern is keeping your clientele loyal while you’re out on leave.

There’s certainly some strategic planning involved in preparing for your little one, but it doesn’t have to be scary! You can plan, execute, and even revise a thriving maternity leave as a professional in the beauty and wellness industry. The three main areas you’ll want to outline and plan for are: pre-baby, your time at home, and returning to work.

If this speaks to you, you should take some insight from a 15+ year esthetician, business owner, and beauty professional, in our step-by-step course to guide you through what worked for three successful maternity leaves (with a fourth in planning), and what didn’t. Also included is key information to effectively communicate your leave details with your clients and how to transition back into work post-leave! Head over to the Maternity Leave for The Beauty & Wellness Professional Course to learn more.
