First Step: Motherhood Coaching & Community
At First Step: Motherhood Coaching & Community we understand that the journey of motherhood is a transformative and deeply personal experience. While it’s filled with joy and love, it can also be accompanied by significant challenges along the way.
Have you been questioning your identity on your motherhood journey ?
There is an unspoken expectation on us to live up to the role of being a mum who has it all together, often meaning putting everyone else before you.
It can be easy to lose sight of who you are and what you want amidst all the noise.
Have you felt frustrated at the lack of support when you need it most?
We can all experience the feeling of support falling away at different stages of motherhood. A community of mums who know what you're going through will provide you with support, recognition and safety when you need it most.
Have you been neglecting yourself and want to rediscover who you are?
We are here to provide you with a new set of tools to help you look after yourself when all your resources go into being a mum.
You will be reminded how to love & support yourself by giving yourself the gift of time to focus on your own wellness.
We are here to build a supportive community and assure you that you’re not alone. Through our group workshops and 1-1 coaching sessions you will be provided with tools and be empowered within the safety of a supportive network of like-minded mums to help you regain your sense of self and identity.

About us
Sukhi and Felicity
We are Sukhi and Felicity, executive coaches, and we met on an antenatal course in Edinburgh.
We quickly became lifelong friends and supported each other through the birth of our boys and their first years.
We feel incredibly lucky to have met each other and want to create a supportive community of new mothers to be able to access coaching and support whilst finding the same lasting bonds for themselves.
What you can expect
Group workshops
We host group workshops providing a strength of community among mothers.
You can expect a fun, relaxed few hours in a beautiful setting in Edinburgh, with lunch and refreshments. A luxurious child-free space to focus on you, to feel re-invigorated, and to meet a handful of women going through the same experiences as you!
We facilitate exercises and discussions to guide you through the topics covered in each session. Every member will have an in-depth discovery call with us before the session to help us understand where you are on your journey.
Group coaching allows us to benefit from shared experiences, differing perspectives, and group support while you receive continued guidance and feedback from your coach.
Workshops are tailored to topics such as:
- Reclaiming your sense of Identity
- Tools for dealing with stress
- Career coaching: including – returning to work, becoming a stay at home mum, starting a new business

Meet the Team
Sukhi Littlejohn
Hi, I’m Sukhi! With over 10 years experience in the legal sector as a qualified Solicitor, I re-trained in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and set up my own Coaching business to utilise my passion of helping people create meaningful change.
I use NLP tools and my years of coaching experience to guide individuals through their personal development – specialising in a range of issues from anxiety to confidence to career coaching. I use these techniques in the training programmes I have created for charitable and corporate organisations, and whilst working in a leading Learning & Development company to help individuals reach their professional goals. And I am excited to help you reach your goals on your motherhood journey too!
Felicity Thomas
Hi I’m Felicity and I have been coaching professionals for 15 years in the NHS, local government, non-profit, and currently in my role as Head of Talent and Leadership Development at the Financial Times.
Having worked in learning and talent development throughout my career, I have coached individuals and facilitated teams to be at their best and achieve their goals. I believe anyone should have access to a coach to support their careers and, having gone through it, I firmly believe this is true for motherhood too! My partner and I moved to Edinburgh in 2020 and started our family here. I look forward to supporting the community of mums through my coaching expertise and experience.
