Katie is a Godsend!!!!! Breastfeeding is HARD and I could not have done it without Katie’s help! Being a first time mom with a premature baby worrying about weight gain and how much the baby was getting while nursing was terrifying. Katie came to our house a few days after we got home. She was so kind, friendly, and smart. Not only is she a lactation consultant but she is a nurse. She helped me with SO many things even outside of nursing. I can’t recommend her enough. She was there to answer my questions 24/7. I wouldn’t have made it almost a year nursing my first if it weren’t for her. I definitely would have given up after having mastitis 3x. She is so knowledgeable and knows exactly what you should do. If it weren’t for Katie I wouldn’t even have thought twice about breastfeeding my second baby. I am so happy I had her as a resource for both of my kids. I truly couldn’t have done it without her. If you are looking for a lactation consultant, she is THE BEST hands down. Look no further!!

We learned the hard way that not all IBCLCs are created equal. After a less than stellar experience with one while trying to get prepared during pregnancy, I asked my chiropractor if she had any recommendations. She quickly pulled out Katie’s business card and handed it to me. When our little guy came two and a half weeks early, only a few days later, I was struggling to produce and he was struggling to latch. Our second night with him was heartbreaking and we contacted Katie as soon as we realized we needed help. After ONE session, Katie had me producing and our baby latching. I could have cried. I think I did at one point! After a second session, we were seeing great transfer volume for our son through a weighted feed, and Katie took it a step further to teach me techniques that would make us even more successful. Thanks to her, he went from 7lbs 4oz to 8lbs by our third session only 10 days later. Katie brings so much positivity to every session. Her energy is infectious and her support is so incredibly effective. Not only did she help us save our breastfeeding journey, she truly set us up to thrive and gave me a confidence I really needed. She is a wealth of knowledge and is quick to respond to any questions. You can see her passion for her work in every single interaction. I’ve been telling everyone about her. I swear every breastfeeding mama would benefit from seeing Katie!

Katie is fantastic! She is super knowledgeable and gives us great tips every time we see her. Most importantly, she’s kind and encouraging and makes me, and baby, feel comfortable. She’s been so helpful with breastfeeding issues, pumping, and tips for feeding on the go and returning to work! Couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you, Katie!

Katie is the best. She is kind, empathetic and incredibly knowledgeable. She spent the time to educate me and help guide me towards my breastfeeding goals. I highly recommend!!!

I was so nervous that my second breastfeeding journey would end up like my first – exclusively pumping. Katie came recommended from a friend and after our first meeting (pre birth) she lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. She is so compassionate, responsive, and non-judgmental. Everything a new momma needs. Her professionalism and attention to detail is exquisite and she is impeccably clean with her equipment. She helped me get through some painful latching, reflux, and and even helped me figure out a nursing position for when my daughter was in a hip dysplasia brace. She gave me confidence and we are still going strong breastfeeding at 7mo! Thank you Katie!

It’s so hard to put into words exactly what Katie has provided me while on this breastfeeding journey. After breastfeeding my first 3 children, I thought breastfeeding my fourth would be just as “easy.” I was wrong and needed help! Enter, my true life Diary Fairy, Katie. She put us on a plan of action and was there to help via text and phone calls throughout the week. We had a second home visit and changed up the plan with the utmost optimism & encouragement from Katie. Within 2 weeks, my daughter went from not latching and not gaining weight to now fully nursing from the breast and thriving.
Katie comforted me through the tears and frustration, she provided guidance in a manageable format all while being genuine, caring and compassionate about my vision for my breastfeeding journey. If you are looking for your own Dairy Fairy, look no further, Katie is it!

Wow- words cannot describe how grateful I am that I got to work with Katie. She set up a plan for my baby and I and allowed me to gain confidence and feel optimistic about our breastfeeding future. She is well known by pediatricians who put their confidence in her recommendations. Most of all- she is kind, funny and a very down to earth person- you look forward to seeing her again. Thank you Katie for all that you do, every mom that gets to work with you is SO lucky!

To say we are eternally grateful that our paths crossed is quite the understatement. You have been such a light and support in our lives when we need it the most. I am so grateful to you as part of our village. I’ve nourished my baby girl for the past 1+ years and it is largely because of you. It is something that I’m so proud of. With all my heart- thank you.

Katie is definitely doing what she is meant to do in life! She is an incredible teacher and motivator. We cannot thank her enough.

You probably should have ran the first time you came to see us! We’re so thankful that you didn’t. You have provided such awesome support during one of the hardest periods of time for me. Even if our BF journey doesn’t go exactly where I had planned, I’ll always be grateful that we had you as a resource and especially you gave me hope along the way. The mamas of Bucks and Montco are lucky to have you!

We truly cannot express our thanks to you! You have had the most positive and encouraging impact on our family’s feeding journey! Greatest thanks.

Katie is amazing. I cannot express how deeply grateful I am for her knowledge, her flexibility, and her unconditional support. I didn’t know how much I needed her until she came to our rescue.

After our lip tie and tongue tie revision, our dentist gave us a list of resources to follow up with. Now this was my fourth baby, she wasn’t having any issues gaining weight, and my supply was more than ample… why would I need to see a lactation consultant?! But with all the tongue and lip exercises I thought it couldn’t hurt so I contacted Katie through the Lactation Network and she was so warm; I felt like we had been friends for years. She taught me things about breastfeeding I had never known and she gave me the confidence to improve what I had been doing all along.

When I had a meltdown a few weeks later because of my daughter’s ties reattaching she was there for me and squeezed in a visit right away, despite her busy schedule. After our experience, I think every breastfeeding parent should see a LC no matter how children they have breastfed in the past and Katie is one I’d recommend.

I debated whether to pursue having a lactation consultant come to the house because I was already doing my best to survive the first few weeks of a newborn and wasn’t sure I could handle having someone come tell me I was doing it all wrong. I wanted someone knowledgeable, but down to earth and aware of the hardships of starting breastfeeding for a real world mom. I’m so happy I landed on Katie’s page and had her come. Not only was she endlessly knowledgeable, she answered my 4 million questions, gave me tons of tips and tricks, including what would help and what not to waste my time with. She also sent me links to products she recommended based on issues I was having. Best of all it felt like a friend coming to my house to check in on me. I couldn’t be more grateful for her help and I ended the session feeling totally confident I was doing everything right, but having a more concrete plan of what to do for future changes (like going back to work). I’d recommend her to all my friends. And will definitely use her guidance in the future.

We found Katie to be exceptional, a wealth of knowledge backed by years of clinical experience, she made us feel very comfortable and was incredibly personable while addressing all of our concerns. As new parents who already feel lost, she helped us develop a plan that will enable us to be successful and confident moving forward with our breastfeeding journey. We would highly recommend Katie to anyone who has questions or concerns about the breastfeeding process.

I was having so much trouble getting my daughter to latch when she was a few days old and was so stressed and exhausted. When Katie came to my house she made me feel totally comfortable and figured out the issue right away. In addition to helping with the latching problem she gave me tons of helpful tips and weighed the baby before and after a feeding to reassure me that she was getting enough milk. That 1 visit definitely helped me troubleshoot so many issues that came up later and made breastfeeding go much smoother. I highly recommend!

Breastfeeding can be stressful for new moms, but Katie makes you feel at ease from the beginning. She is the best!
