Welcome Back Natasha

After a year-long maternity leave, Natasha Burbidge rejoined her friends and colleagues at JR Direct on July 24th. Natasha had a beautiful baby boy named Colton (Cole for short) who turned 1 on July 21st.

When asked what Colton was like, his proud Mommy told us, “Colton is crawling and furniture walking now. He is a very patient and independent little boy who loves to play.”

We sat down with Natasha a couple weeks before her expected return to work to talk to her about motherhood and coming back to JR Direct this summer.

What have been some of the most challenging things about being a Mom?
The most challenging thing so far has been working with Colton on his Torticollis (a twisting of the neck to one side, resulting in the head being tilted) and Occipital Plagiocephaly (the flattening of one side of the back of the head) as we have to do neck exercises with him daily and I took him to physio every week. We are pleased to announce that his last physio appointment was on the 18th of July.

Has becoming a Mom changed you in anyway?
I have always gone to bed early but now it is 7 days a week instead of just work days. Other than that, we’ve also changed our schedules to plan our days around Colton’s feeding times.

What have you been most looking forward to about coming back to work at JR Direct?
Working with adults and getting a break from home life. I will still have 5 hours a day with Colton to play with him so that makes coming back easier.

Natasha is excited about coming back to work at JR Direct to see her friends and colleagues and to work with her old clients again, as well as new ones.
