Meet Alexandra Kile! 

Alex Kile is a postpartum mental health and wellness practitioner 

My Story

I went to George Washington University for nursing school and earned my master’s degree from NYU to become a Nurse Practitioner. After over a decade in women’s health—including time in a high-acuity labor and delivery unit at NYP—I thought I understood what the postpartum period would be like. I’d spent years counseling women through pregnancy, birth, and recovery, so when I became pregnant with my son, I expected to feel prepared.

But life had other plans.

During my pregnancy, my father passed away from pancreatic cancer. The grief was heavy, and the stress took a toll on both my mind and body. My pregnancy was complicated, and my delivery—despite all my medical experience—was traumatic in ways I never imagined.

Still, I held it together. Maternity leave gave me space to bond, rest, and settle into new motherhood.

But when I returned to work, everything shifted.

I was overwhelmed by crippling postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and an intense fear that something terrible would happen. I couldn’t sleep, even when my baby was sound asleep. I was afraid to be alone with him. I felt ashamed, confused, and broken. How could someone like me—a women’s health expert—be falling apart like this?

The truth is: I wasn’t alone.
💡 1 in 5 women experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (PMAD).
💡 Postpartum anxiety is just as common as postpartum depression, yet it's talked about far less—and treated even less often.

For me, healing began when I realized I couldn’t white-knuckle it or “self-care” my way out. I needed real support. That included starting Zoloft, an SSRI that’s been well-studied for use during pregnancy and postpartum. It gave me the space to breathe and begin doing the deeper work: therapy, nervous system regulation, gut healing, and daily practices to feel like me again.

That experience completely changed how I approach care. I believe in holistic postpartum support that integrates nutrition, lifestyle, and mindfulness—with evidence-based medical options like medication when needed. This is not one-size-fits-all care. I’m here to give you clear, compassionate guidance so you can make informed, empowered decisions about your mental health and recovery.

Eventually, I found my footing. I started showing up for myself the way I wanted to show up for my son. I made space for sunlight, movement, nourishing food, therapy, and rest. I stopped chasing quick fixes and started healing from the inside out.

Everything I now teach and guide my clients through—I’ve lived it. And I know firsthand that the path back to yourself isn’t always easy, but it is possible.

That’s why I stepped away from traditional medicine and founded a space for postpartum wellness and mental health support. A space where women feel seen, heard, and truly supported—not rushed through a 6-week checkup and sent on their way.

If you’re exhausted, anxious, or overwhelmed after having a baby—I see you. You’re not broken, and you’re not alone.
