Meet Katie
Hi, I'm Katie Newby.
I'm a Licensed Nurse and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist with more than seventeen years of experience caring for infants and supporting families. My passion for supporting mothers and babies has always been at the heart of my work. Today, I focus on helping families navigate breastfeeding with compassionate, evidence-based guidance that is practical, personalized, and without judgment.
My journey in caring for mothers and babies has spanned more than a decade, with extensive experience supporting families through the postpartum period, coupled with my own postpartum and breastfeeding journey with my daughter. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the shift that happens when a woman becomes a mother and how vital it is for her to feel supported and heard during this incredibly important time in her life.
In addition to my nursing background and work as a postpartum doula, I previously owned and operated a postpartum doula agency. This experience gave me the opportunity to support many families, work alongside other birth and postpartum professionals, and gain a deeper understanding of the many different ways families may need support during the transition into parenthood.
Those experiences ultimately led me to focus my practice on lactation support. I found that I was especially drawn to helping mothers through the challenges and questions that can come with breastfeeding- listening to their concerns, offering practical solutions, and helping them feel more confident in their ability to care for and feed their babies. I am actively pursuing my IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) credentials, continuing to deepen my knowledge and expand my ability to provide thoughtful, informed lactation care to the families I serve.

I struggled breastfeeding my first 3 babies. With the help, support and encouragement from Katie herself, with my 4th I had a successful journey! I will definitely be using the knowledge she has given me with baby number 5. And any new knowledge she may have to pass my way!

Katie is the best. She is warm, empathetic and compassionate. You can tell she is really dedicated and passionate about helping mama’s with breastfeeding. I had a lot of postpartum anxiety with my very premature baby and fear about her gaining weight because she struggled. Katie helped me feel more confident breastfeeding my baby and keeping track of her weight and gains. She was very knowledgeable about ways to keep baby latched and encouraged me not to give up. Baby and I were able to breastfeed until 22 months which was beyond what I expected. I really appreciated Katie’s encouragement and support.

Katie’s knowledge, encouragement, and genuine care made such a positive experience during such an important and vulnerable time. I am so grateful for the support she provided and would highly recommend her to any mother looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly caring postpartum lactation support.
