Hello!
I'm Danielle, mum of three boys aged six and under, and founder of The Mothershift.
During my final mat leave, I had an idea and now here we are...
Our mission is to help reduce:
Loss of Identity
Social Isolation
Financial Hardship
The Mothershift was born from a simple thought :
Maternity leave can feel incredible and overwhelming in equal measure.
Between the drop in income, the sudden shift in routine, and the loss of identity that so many new mums quietly navigate, it’s easy to feel cut off from the things that once made you feel like you.
We created The Mothershift to change that
We’re a Greater Manchester based membership supporting pregnant women and those on maternity or adoption leave. Our mission is to make this chapter feel less isolating, more connected, and a lot more 'you' shaped, without stretching an already reduced budget.
Through curated perks and exclusive maternity leave discounts across independent cafés, fitness studios, wellness spots, beauty, and must-have national brands, we aim to help mums keep hold of the little joys and everyday rituals that anchor confidence, identity and wellbeing.
But The Mothershift is more than savings. It’s about access, community and empowerment. Too often, maternity leave is treated as a time when women quietly step back. We think differently. We believe mums deserve to feel seen, supported, and still plugged into their community - not priced out of it.
Our goal is to build a platform that removes barriers, champions local businesses, and creates a positive, practical impact for thousands of women navigating one of life’s biggest transitions. By easing financial pressure and taking steps to tackle isolation head-on, we’re opening doors for mums to stay connected, active and fulfilled throughout maternity and early parenthood.
The Mothershift exists to make sure motherhood doesn’t mean losing yourself , shifting into a new chapter with confidence, a strong local community and lots of well-deserved perks.
