I’m glad you’re here.

Hello and welcome! I’m Katie, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, or IBCLC, since 2024. With a deep commitment to supporting underserved communities and minority groups, I specialize in providing accessible, high-quality lactation consultations to families who often face barriers to care. I want to ensure that everyone has the support they need to succeed in their breastfeeding or chestfeeding journey. Before earning my IBCLC certification, I served as a Breastfeeding Counselor with BreastfeedingUSA. This experience shaped my approach to lactation consultations in a way that sets me apart. As a Breastfeeding Counselor, my training emphasized counseling skills as the foundation of effective support. I’ve learned that providing families with evidence-based information is only part of the equation. To make a lasting impact, a lactation consultant must listen deeply, empathize fully, and tailor guidance to the unique needs and goals of each family. Whether you're navigating breastfeeding, chestfeeding, or a combination of feeding methods, I approach every consultation with reverence and respect for your individual experience.

Lactation consultations with me are more than clinical assessments—they’re collaborative conversations. I’m here to help you feel confident and supported as you work toward your feeding goals, whether you’re experiencing challenges or simply seeking reassurance. I help you equip yourself not just with knowledge, but also with a sense of calm and control over your journey.

I provide comprehensive lactation consultations that cover everything from responding to breastfeeding complications to long-term feeding plans. I also partner with other healthcare providers to ensure that your lactation needs are seamlessly integrated into your overall care plan, giving you a holistic and coordinated approach to your health and your baby’s health.

Each family is unique, and I believe in offering tailored lactation advice that suits your individual needs. Whether you're navigating challenges with breastfeeding or chestfeeding, or seeking the best electric pump or feeding device for your situation, I’ll guide you in finding solutions that work for you. My goal is to help you access the tools and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about breastfeeding or chestfeeding. No one wants to look back and say, “If I had known more, I would’ve done it differently!”

As a passionate educator, I stay up to date with the latest lactation research to ensure that the care I provide is rooted in evidence-based practices. I also work with healthcare providers to share my knowledge and help them better support their patients with breastfeeding and chest feeding needs.

I understand that accessibility is crucial, which is why I offer a variety of flexible options for lactation consultations. Whether it’s through telehealth, home visits, or in-person sessions, I’m here to accommodate your schedule and needs. I partner with The Lactation Network to make lactation support as accessible as possible.

What sets me apart is my personalized, culturally sensitive approach to lactation care. I take the time to understand your individual values, cultural norms, and personal circumstances to ensure that the care I provide is not only effective but also relevant and meaningful to you.

I’m here to support you through every stage of your lactation journey, whether you're breastfeeding, chestfeeding, exclusively pumping, or navigating any challenges along the way. Let’s work together to create a plan that helps you and your family thrive.

Drawing on my background as a counselor and my expertise as an IBCLC, I’m committed to providing compassionate, personalized care. I believe that everyone deserves access to skilled, supportive lactation consultants who meet them where they are, and I’m honored to be part of your support team.

Let’s work together to create a feeding experience that works for you and your family.
