Lee Komet: Supporting New Moms Through The 4th Trimester
Becoming a mother is one of life’s most beautiful yet challenging transitions. For many new moms, the postpartum period—often referred to as the 4th trimester—is a time of adjustment, learning, and deep emotional shifts. Lee Komet, a mother and business owner in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, understands this firsthand.
After giving birth to her daughter, Lee found herself struggling, far from her family, who lived overseas. It wasn’t until she visited her sister in Israel that she saw a stark difference in the way new mothers were supported. There, resources were readily available, and women had a built-in community to guide them through the early months of motherhood. Inspired by this, Lee decided to create a similar support system for moms in her own community—and so, The 4th Trimester was born.
Creating a Village for New Moms
The 4th Trimester is more than just a business—it’s a nurturing space where new mothers can find guidance, education, and community. Lee offers private and small group classes tailored to help both mom and baby navigate the early stages of development. Her services include:
- Guided Development Classes: Designed for babies at different stages, these classes help little ones reach developmental milestones while educating moms on essential skills, understanding their baby’s needs, and managing common concerns like reflux and colic.
- Mommy’s Mornings: A weekly gathering that provides postpartum moms with a safe space to recover, recharge, and connect with other mothers while enjoying a light breakfast.
- Infant Massage: Teaching parents the art of infant massage, which promotes bonding, better sleep, and neurological development.
- Private Consultations: One-on-one guidance tailored to each family’s specific needs, offering expert support on newborn care, sleep habits, and more.
A Trusted Expert in Infant Development
Lee brings a wealth of expertise to her work. She is a certified Early Childhood Development Educator, a Certified Educator of Infant Massage, a Certified Infant Massage Instructor, and a Newborn Care Specialist. Additionally, she is one of only three certified practitioners in the U.S. trained in the First Step Method—a movement-based approach that enhances physical and mental well-being in infants.
The First Step Method, developed by Shai Silberbusch, is rooted in the principles of the Feldenkrais Method. This innovative technique focuses on gentle, mindful movements that support early motor development, coordination, and neurological growth. By encouraging natural movement patterns, the First Step Method helps babies develop strong foundations for mobility and cognitive function. Recognized for its effectiveness in both Israel and the Europe, this method is gaining attention in the U.S., with Lee being one of its early adopters and advocates in the U.S. Her training under Shai Silberbusch ensures that families receive expert guidance tailored to their baby’s unique needs.
Her dedication to helping new mothers stems from her own experiences and her passion for making postpartum care more accessible. Through The 4th Trimester, she is not only providing invaluable services but also building a supportive community where moms don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
