Meet Melissa: your guide to reigniting your career.

20+ years in HR taught me something powerful: women returning to work aren’t starting from zero they just need someone to help them see their true value.

I’ve spent my career watching talented, capable women struggle to return to the workforce not because they lack skills, but because they don’t see their career break for what it really is: proof of their adaptability, leadership, and strength.

I founded Women Back to Work to be the specialist support that didn’t exist when women needed it most. This isn’t generic career coaching. This is the only program designed specifically for women who’ve taken a break and are ready to return, but need help turning uncertainty into action.

My mission is simple: help you reignite your career with confidence, not fear. Help you see that you’re not starting over, you’re stepping forward with experience, wisdom, and so much to offer.

Because your career break isn’t a gap. It’s part of your story. And it’s time to write the next chapter.

Women Back to Work (WB2W) has made a difference in the lives of women just like you.

“After several years away from the workforce due to caring responsibilities, I knew I wanted to return but I wasn’t sure where to start. Melissa made the whole process feel less overwhelming. She helped me uncover the transferable skills I’d gained both before and during my time away, and showed me how they could apply to industries I was genuinely interested in. We focused on roles that aligned with both my experience and my creative interests.

With WB2W’s support, I’ve now found a role that not only suits my skills but feels exciting and meaningful. It’s been a huge confidence boost.”

When my financial situation changed, I knew I needed to get back into the workforce, but I felt unsure about where I fit after being away for a while. Working with Melissa through WB2W was exactly the support I needed. She helped me identify the skills I already had and how they could be transferred into roles I’d never considered before. She really listened to what was important to me—not just financially, but personally too. I’m now in a job that gives me both stability and a renewed sense of purpose.
