Lorraine has featured extensively in the national media including The Sunday Times, The Daily Mail and This Morning.

Sam Collins, the Managing Director of Aspire says, "This is a very exciting time for Aspire as demand for our services continues to grow tremendously. We decided to ask Lorraine to join us because Aspire's vision is work at the cutting edge and make a really positive difference to women. We believe that supporting mothers is absolutely fundamental."

"I work with many senior women executives who are motivated, dynamic and inspired parents who want to make great decisions about their children and their family," says Lorraine. "I am really looking forward to working with Aspire because it is a pioneering organisation, meeting the real needs of real women and Parent Coaching is key to this. Being a parent is the most rewarding, challenging and important job we will ever do in our lives. I will be working with mothers who want support in making a big decision, eg about childcare, education or health, guidance if they are making changes in their lives, eg, divorce or a sounding-board if they are feeling guilty about being a working mother."

Lorraine will also be spearheading Aspire's initiatives with companies who want to support parents in the workplace. She has worked with pioneering employers across the UK.

She also works with the National Charity Parentalk.

Lorraine is married to Jerry and has 3 children, Holly (1), Joshua (4) and a step-son Ben (16).
