What Moms Are Saying...

"received almost double the time off and more pay"

Diane was super helpful every step of the way! My HR had completely misunderstood what the state offers in regards to PFL and Bonding time. I was able to share all my company documents, as well as communication with HR, to receive almost double the time off as I was previously approved for and more pay! And the HR representative also seemed grateful to know more information about CA leave policies. I was able to contact her after our initial meeting with questions and received answers within the same day! Thank you so much for making my time with my son longer and less stressful!

"Part time work for full time pay”

I wanted to thank you and your team for helping negotiate my maternity leave. You helped immensely. I was able to get 4.5 months paid with another month @ part time work with full pay!

Why Trust Me?
I'm Diane Gatza, P.E., CLMS - a former engineer who got tired of watching smart women leave benefits on the table because the system is unnecessarily complicated.
After navigating my own 10-month maternity leave, I reverse-engineered California's entire maternity leave system and turned it into a simple roadmap.
Since 2021, I've helped 4,000+ California moms - from Disney and Amazon employees to self-employed business owners - secure the maximum time and pay they're entitled to.
My clients regularly:
✔Get 6+ months of mostly paid leave
✔Discover benefits their HR didn't tell them about
✔Know more about their rights than their employers do
✔Feel confident instead of confused

Don't wait until you're weeks away from your due date to figure this out.
