I’m Kerry (she/her), an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) providing feeding support to families in the Portland area. My path into lactation began after the birth of my son in 2022 - an experience that continues to shape how I support families today. Prior to becoming an IBCLC, I supported families as both a postpartum doula and a La Leche League Leader, here, in Portland.

My approach to lactation care is evidence-based, practical, and grounded in the midwifery model. I strive to protect the physiologic process, support the mother-baby dyad, and intervene thoughtfully when it truly matters. I focus on normalizing difficult moments, making sense of what’s happening, and helping feeding challenges feel manageable rather than overwhelming. I provide thorough assessment, clear plans, and evidence-based interventions, and collaborate with medical providers when additional care is needed.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me on my bike, getting lost in yard work, outside with my kiddo, or appreciating a well-made cocktail with friends as we two-step around a dance floor.
