Parenthood preparation
« You+Me+Baby »
Prepare your relationship for parenthood — so your team stays closer than ever, even when everything changes.
You+Me+Baby is a personalized coaching program designed to help you welcome your baby without losing sight of your relationship: understand your needs better, anticipate changes, strengthen your bond, and build a solid foundation for your family life.
Becoming parents changes everything
But no one really talks about how it changes the relationship itself.
Between the emotions of pregnancy, the fatigue, the unsolicited advice — “Enjoy every moment, it’s pure joy!” 🙄) — and all the decisions to make… your couple can quickly turn into a logistics team — sometimes even before the baby arrives.
Conversations revolve around to-do lists, sleep, doctor appointments. And slowly, “us” fades behind “we have to.”
You still love each other, of course. But you might notice you talk less about you, your dreams, your worries, your excitement, what this new chapter brings up for each of you.
The real challenge isn’t a lack of love.
It’s the lack of space to talk about what you’re really experiencing.
💬 What “becoming parents” means to each of you.
💬 How to stay connected during pregnancy.
💬 How to embrace change without growing apart.
Preparing for parenthood also means taking care of your relationship.
And what about your relationship?
Preparing for your baby’s arrival isn’t just about the nursery, the gear, or the birth plan.
It’s also about getting ready as individuals and as a couple for this major life transition. Learning how to adjust your team, understand what each of you is going through, and lay the groundwork for a strong, united team — even before becoming parents.
That’s what You+Me+Baby is all about: a parenthood preparation designed to strengthen your bond, not just your to-do list.
Picture your relationship once your baby is here
A few months after birth…
You know how to take turns without tension, talk about what really matters, and support each other even when exhaustion hits.
You move forward as a team — aware of your needs, your values, and the space you want to keep for your relationship in this new chapter.
In short: a connected, confident couple — solid and close, even as everything changes around you.
We prepare the nursery… but rarely the relationship.
But we rarely talk about how it changes the dynamic between partners.
You might feel like you’ve covered all the bases — books, podcasts, advice from family and friends. You know it’ll be both beautiful and challenging.
And yet, despite all that preparation, many couples don’t actually share their worries, doubts, or uncertainties with each other. Some topics stay blurry, some fears unspoken. Talking about them in a safe, structured space can bring so much clarity and peace of mind.
I’m Anne Roussel, Relationship Coach
And former Montessori educator.
My credentials:
- certified coach by Erickson Coaching International,
- accréditée ACC-accredited member par l’International Coaching Federation (ICF),
- certified Montessori educator by l’Institut Supérieur Maria Montessori, recognized by the Association Montessori International (AMI).
I’m bilingual (French-English) and I support couples who want to grow together — even when life gets hectic or routine takes over.
My background as a Montessori educator — observing, guiding, and supporting children’s development while helping families thrive — is what led me to couple coaching. Originally, I trained as a coach to better support parents and strengthen the parent–child alliance.
Today, I bring that same approach to couples: helping them grow together, understand each other better, and navigate life’s transitions hand in hand.

They have trusted me
We became parents a bit later in life. We both wanted to feel fulfilled in our careers and solid as a couple.
We started working with Anne when Aurore got pregnant. Before that, we’d had a lot of conversations about our upbringings, the kind of education we wanted to pass on, and how we pictured our family life. But we hadn’t really talked about how different our experiences might feel during pregnancy, and what impact that could have on us. That’s when we realized it might be helpful to get some support. And it really was — our work with Anne helped us understand each other better, rethink parts of our day-to-day organization, and go deeper on some important topics.
Then our daughter was born. Time flew by, and when I went back to work, Aurore found herself alone during the day — and that was tough for her. So we booked more sessions at that point, shorter ones over the phone (super practical when you have a baby who refuses to be put down). It gave Aurore the support she needed during postpartum and helped her take a step back on her new role as a mother. Honestly, taking even a little time for herself in the evening seemed to do her a lot of good — and it had a positive effect on both of us.
We’re really grateful to have met Anne along the way. Her genuine listening and support made a real difference — thank you.
Your relationship is your baby’s first home.
