Hi, I’m Maxine Marshall.
As Co-Founder of Mom Works, it’s important to me for women to have the mental, emotional, and physical support needed to thrive in motherhood, in their career, and in their quality of life. I believe there is a way - it will take systems changes, collaboration, and the acknowledgement that we can make changes that will not only benefit us as individuals but us as a workforce, a community, a society.
In Work
I am a clinical social worker with a passion for supporting women on their journey of self learning. I have advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International (PSI). I completed a Fellowship with the PSI Alliance for People of Color, focusing on mental health in the pregnancy and postpartum periods for neurodivergent women.
I have years of experience as an Employee Assistance Professional, providing workplace mental health support to leaders and employees.
I specialize in supporting neurodivergent women and families with executive functioning, sustainable self-care, and emotion regulation. Particularly through work and career demands, postpartum and parenting, and general daily life challenges.
In Life
As a person with lived experience with neurodivergence, I have always held a firm belief in sharing honest experiences of womanhood. For us to heal, individually and as community, we each need to be informed of the full and varying experiences of being a human.
I am a mother to two amazing, energetic, and unapologetically themselves, daughters. We do a lot of work together on self-advocacy, self-regulation, and finding the fun in life. My goal is to raise free and confident women who know themselves, who also value community.
I love yoga, being outside, reading everything from Toni Morrison (shout out to my banned book club) to Sarah J. Maas, and pretending I could actually pull off a DIY home reno thanks to too much HGTV.
