Kate is our practice manager at Be Well Baby PDX, so you may interact with her while scheduling your appointment!
Lucky for us though- she has so much more to offer. Kate began working with breastfeeding families as a peer lactation counselor with Nursing Mothers Counsel in 2014. She quickly became deeply involved with the organization and took on multiple board positions. She coordinated new counselor training in 2016 and 2018, and managed the website and social media accounts to bridge the generational gap and bring free lactation services to new parents.
Kate is now a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), and her private practice was founded in 2021 when she relocated with her family to Portland, OR. She is thrilled to be able to use her clinical skills on the team at Be Well Baby PDX!
In 2022 she began her study of craniosacral therapy (CST) for infants with Beames CST and has begun to incorporate those skills into her lactation assessments, bringing a much deeper, full-body approach to care. She completed training in June 2023, and became a Certified Infant Craniosacral Therapist in April 2024.
