About US
Beyond Birth the Fourth Trimester was founded by parents who experienced firsthand how little support exists during the transformative weeks after birth. We believe every family deserves knowledgeable guidance, practical help, and compassionate community during this critical period of adjustment and bonding.

Chissel Espinal Thomas
FOUNDER
Hello Loves, I’m Chissel—beauty expert, mama, and founder of Beyond Birth the Fourth Trimester.
What started as a passion for helping women feel confident through beauty grew into something deeper after becoming a mother myself. The raw, unfiltered experience of postpartum opened my eyes to the conversations no one was having—and the support so many moms were missing.
That’s why I launched Beyond Birth the Fourth Trimester, a nonprofit supporting women in the fourth trimester through our Mamas Beyond Birth walk program—blending movement, expert insight, and real community.
From beauty studio to motherhood advocate, every step of my journey is about helping women embrace their most authentic selves.

Lilana Pizzati-Sosa
Hi, I’m Liliana, a devoted mother, business owner, licensed realtor, and passionate autism advocate. As the founder of Elite Construction, I bring craftsmanship, integrity, and heart to every project, building spaces where families can grow and thrive.
A mother first and always, I understand the unique demands placed on moms raising children in a world that doesn’t always offer the support they deserve. My advocacy for autism awareness is deeply personal and purposeful, and I actively uplift and stand beside mothers navigating similar journeys.
While I run a successful business and navigate the real estate market with skill, I am also the mom cheering from the sidelines—at a distance, per my son’s request—at every baseball game. And when the day winds down, I’m love indulging in a good snowball, savoring life’s little joys.
With empathy, resilience, and a fierce love for community, I bring strength and heart to everything I do.

Greer Hardimon
Hey! I’m Greer a mother of two, navigating the wild ride of motherhood with humor, heart, and a hefty dose of caffeine. As a passionate advocate for postpartum well-being, I believe the fourth trimester deserves as much attention as the first three—and maybe a few extra naps.
When I’m not wrangling a typically naked toddler or negotiating with strong willed 6 year old, I can be found sharing my insights and experiences, reminding us all that while the journey is challenging, it's also filled with moments of joy, laughter, and the occasional meltdown (preferably not mine).
I hope to meet you and offer support, solidarity, and a reminder that you’re not alone in this adventure.
