About the Pilot

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

You are not sure how pregnancy and maternity leave will affect your career

You want expert guidance on your health, mental wellbeing, sleep and nutrition but do not know where to look

Meet Your Guide

Lucy Wilson Founder of MAIA

I found the transition to motherhood incredibly challenging, and I knew there was so much more I could have learnt to help myself. I'm a huge believer in the power of matrescence education, and in everything else we can do for ourselves to feel and live better.

I'm passionate about businesses investing in supporting women at one of the most profound times of change in their lives. There is a solid business case for the benefits of doing so, and when it is done well, everyone wins. Women thrive, teams strengthen and organisations grow.

I believe in action and making a difference, which is why I built MAIA. I knew we could make a massive impact on the mental health and wellbeing of new mothers.

I'm incredibly proud of the amazing team of experts who have joined me in this mission. Throughout the programme I'll be your guide every step of the way, hosting live sessions, working alongside the expert team and showing up for you in our community all along the journey.
