Meet Kathryn - Lactation Consultant - IBCLC

Mom of Two
I am a mother to two amazing kiddos. I navigated a plethora of feeding challenges between the two. While challenging, I enjoyed feeding my babies and decided to pivot careers to help other families in Central Oregon meet their feeding goals.

Empowering your Choices…
I’m a Board Certified Lactation Consultant offering in-home and office visits to support families in reaching their feeding goals. I specialize in infant feeding function, often called tongue ties, and take an intentional, holistic approach. Not all ties need to be released, and there are ways to support both parent and baby if a release is part of the plan. I’m passionate about maternal mental health and creating compassionate, realistic feeding plans that evolve as babies grow. Whether families are breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, or formula feeding, I offer nonjudgmental support for all feeding choices. My goal is to help parents feel confident, informed, and connected as they navigate their baby’s feeding journey. I look forward to meeting you and your little one.

Testimonials

  • "I had such a great experience with Kathryn! She came at just the right time and helped me relieve some serious pressure that had built up in my breasts. She also helped my baby get back up to her birth weight and taught me some good techniques to get her to latch. Kathryn is so great and I would highly recommend her to any first time moms or to anyone struggling with breastfeeding."

    Jesse S.

  • "I can't say enough good things about working with Kathryn! Her expertise played a vital role in meeting my feeding goals and keeping my baby happy and healthy. I began working with Kathryn when my newborn struggled to gain weight. Her evaluation was so thorough - she really took the time to understand what my goals were (as opposed to simply imposing her own feeding preferences) and always answered all of my questions! She then worked with me on supply issues, getting my baby into physical therapy and supported us through a tongue tie release. Kathryn is incredibly knowledgeable, caring and dedicated"

  • "We are so grateful for Cascade Lactation. Kathryn has a wealth of knowledge and is quick to troubleshoot challenges. She can make home visits, which is ideal those first few weeks. Her calming presence was appreciated by all. Can't recommend enough!"

    Kristen S

  • "We’re so glad we found Kathryn! She has availability for new moms, so we were able to schedule a home visit just days after our son was born. Kathryn’s expertise and knowledge far succeeded our expectations and we looked forward to our appointments each week. We learned so much and felt truly supported throughout our breastfeeding journey, which included working through our son’s tongue tie. She’s also well connected with other providers in central Oregon. Highly recommend Kathryn to any new parent!"

    Jessica R

  • "Kathryn’s superb knowledge and breadth of experience have taught me so much about my body and my baby. She’s been invaluable on our feeding journey, through challenges and (fairly quickly) into success. I’d have another baby just to keep her skillset and joyful energy around!"
