Huge thanks to a sweet client who brought Nibby this treat (& took this amazing pic!)
If you haven't seen me in some time, I have been sitting on some important news. In an effort to catch as many people in person as possible, I have been waiting to share publicly.
I am expecting and will be going on maternity leave in February 2020. While my pregnancy brings joy to my family, I am mindful it is also complex. Such news can bring a cascade of emotions depending on your own experiences related to relationships, fertility and miscarriage to name a few. Also, if you're used to seeing me regularly for sessions, or even just keeping my name in your back pocket for when you need, the news that I'll be out of the office can feel tough.
As with anything else, all your feelings are welcome. I'm happy to work with you over the next three months to create a game plan that feels as good as possible.
I love my job and have full intentions to return to my practice. However, I am not making promises about timelines as this is dependent on physical and mental health, childcare, etc. As with my last maternity leave, I plan to take a page from my book and ensure my selfcare is strong enough to support my return to work. I take my role and responsibility seriously and want to ensure I am in best form when I am back in the office.
I would love to hear from you and look forward to connecting in person over the next few months.
Take care,
Deepika
