Former NICU RN + Newborn Care Specialist + Mom
Rachel is passionate about providing support and guidance for parents by fostering all facets necessary to create a successful transition into parenthood. With a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Purdue University, Rachel has focused her RN skills in the care of infants and children and parental training and education, for more than ten years. After her initial experience as a Neonatal Intensive Care RN at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Rachel became a Travel Nurse, working in the NICUS throughout hospitals in New York, California and Chicago.
Rachel's experience as an in-home private infant nurse gave her the opportunity to provide individualized parental education. Often working as a “24/7 around the clock” Newborn Care Specialist, she saw a big need for early parent social interaction and support outside of the home which was once of the avenues leading her to open Chicago’s first infant wellness studio.
Rachel has been fortunate enough to live throughout Europe with her husband and work for families in multiple countries. These experiences broadened her knowledge of infant wellness in many different cultures and were invaluable lessons in her career. Rachel is a busy mom to a 2 year old and 6 month old twins!
