Positioning itself as a first-to-market franchise dedicated to structured postnatal education and peer community, New Mom School addresses a critical care gap for the approximately 3.6 million+ new mothers entering the U.S. market each year. Founded in 2012, New Mom School has expanded its footprint across multiple locations in 12 states nationwide.

The concept originated from Alexandra's direct experience identifying the systemic lack of structured emotional and educational support during the “fourth trimester.” Drawing on her background in community development, operational strategy, and entrepreneurship, Alexandra engineered New Mom School from a single high-performing unit into a turnkey, nationwide franchise system.
