ABOUT
The name Invisible Thread is based on the Chinese proverb that states, “An invisible red thread connects those that are destined to meet regardless of time, place, and circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle but it will never break.”
As a perinatal professional, providing a variety of services on the South Shore of Massachusetts and in the Greater Boston Area, Invisible Thread Perinatal & Lactation Services founder, Alyssa DeGeorge, believes that education is empowerment. She works with families during all points of the perinatal period to ensure they have the skills and information to create the family life they dream of. Her goals are to provide individualized support and comprehensive care using evidence-based resources in the areas of pregnancy, birth, postpartum, feeding, lactation, bodywork, perinatal mental health, and more. These connections and shared human experiences are the red threads weaved into her life as well as the lives of the families she has the privilege of meeting.
Alyssa believes in the philosophy that it takes a village to raise a child and understands that not everyone has the traditional village. Invisible Thread strives to be a readily available community resource with a wide variety of information and services to support parents before, during, and after pregnancy and birth both virtually and in-person. Though Invisible Thread primarily focuses on the first year postpartum it is understood that postpartum is forever and so is community. The hope that this knowledge and empowerment will create a strong foundation that families build upon through every stage, including toddlerhood childhood, and adolescence, and young adulthood. Although she may not be present for every stage of the child’s life, she hopes that the invisible thread we weave will stay with her and the families she works with forever.
The core values of Invisible Thread are inclusivity, diversity, equity, safety, and kindness ❤️

Alyssa has always been drawn to helping, supporting, and encouraging others. She began her secondary education by completing her Bachelor's Degree in Communication Sciences & Disorders at Emerson College (with a focus in Speech Language Pathology) and her dual Master's Degree in Special Education at Lesley University. She taught Special Education for a few years in Boston and on the South Shore before leaving the field to have her children. Alyssa became passionate about the postpartum period after the birth of her first daughter in 2018.
During her first pregnancy, Alyssa was totally overwhelmed and realized how underprepared birthing parents can be when trying to conceive and for pregnancy, birth, and the entire journey ahead. In order to attempt to gain control of feeling completely lost, Alyssa defaulted to what she knew—extensively researching every aspect of newborn care (but also knows now this was a symptom of postpartum anxiety). After she made it through her first year she found healing in supporting friends and family members with her newly acquired knowledge.
When her second daughter was born in 2020, she felt more at ease since she was far more prepared for caring for her baby but her entire pregnancy unfolded during the early months of the pandemic. As for this postpartum period, she felt solid in her baby care and parenting skills but was totally challenged by simultaneously raising her young toddler and newborn while isolated and with undiagnosed Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders (PMADs). It was after finding her incredible therapist that Alyssa decided to channel her energy into building communities and supporting as many families as possible. She started this business by Googling “what type of professional can support parents during the postpartum period” and the rest is history.
The South Shore has always home to Alyssa and her immediate family. She grew up in Cohasset and moved to Scituate in 2021 with her husband, two children, Emilia & Hayden, and two French Bulldogs, Mitchell & Frannie. This move was to be closer to her village so she can be a village for others. She enjoys spending time with her family, going to the beach, learning and taking every course possible, yoga, cooking, making guest appearances as a bartender at her parent’s restaurant, True North Kitchen + Bar in North Weymouth, and is an aspiring gardener (note: this has been part of my bio for like 3 years and LITTLE progress has been made).
