Whether you're preparing to breastfeed, feeding your newborn, navigating challenges, or planning your return to work, I provide compassionate, personalized lactation support for families throughout South Central Pennsylvania.

Support For Every Stage of Your Infant Feeding Journey

Preparing for Breastfeeding
Feel informed and confident before your baby arrives with a prenatal class and personalized consultation.

Getting Off to a Strong Start
If breastfeeding isn't going as expected, we'll work together to identify what's happening and create a plan that works for you and your baby.

Pumping & Bottle Feeding
Build a pumping routine, introduce bottles thoughtfully, and make feeding fit your family's daily life.

Returning to Work With Confidence
Whether you're preparing for maternity leave to end or already back at work, I'll help you create a realistic plan for pumping, milk storage, maintaining your milk supply, and balancing your feeding goals with your career.

Ongoing Support
As your baby grows, your feeding needs may change. I'm here to provide guidance through each stage.

My Approach

Two women, one with curly hair wearing a pink shirt with words supporting breastfeeding and the other with straight hair holding a baby, are sitting on a beige sofa in a cozy room, smiling and looking at each other.

When you choose to work with me, you choose someone who cares about you, your family, your birth story, and your personal feeding goals. I want to walk alongside you on your postpartum journey as you grow into the mother you have dreamed of being. With my quality assurance background, I know the importance of not just solving problems at face value but getting to the root cause for a better outcome. My goal is to help you meet your feeding goals-whatever they may be- and to advocate for you when navigating the various systemic challenges that mothers face.

Kind Words from Families

“My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Katie! She was incredibly informative, knowledgeable, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. It was obvious she really knows what she’s talking about and is passionate about helping parents feel prepared and confident.

As a first time mom, I left feeling much more confident about breastfeeding and would highly recommend her to any expecting parents looking for a supportive and knowledgeable lactation counselor!” -Taylor P
