Rachel, a passionate advocate for parents, brings over a decade of experience in infant care and parental education. Her journey began as a Neonatal Intensive Care RN at Northwestern Hospital, followed by work as a Travel Nurse in NICUs across the United States. Rachel's role as a private infant nurse highlighted the need for early parental support, inspiring her to open Metta Baby - Chicago’s first and only infant wellness studio.

For five years, Rachel and her team of infant specialists proudly served thousands of Chicagoland families at their Bucktown location. As their lease neared its end, Rachel made the bittersweet decision to close the space to focus on her three boys (under three!). Although their physical space is closed, Rachel and her team remain dedicated to supporting early developmental activities that nurture motor, sensory, and cognitive skills while fostering secure parent-infant attachment..

Our team is excited to announce that we will be transitioning to in home services + online resources this Fall and we cannot wait for this next chapter of metta baby!
