Meet Katie
Hi, I'm Katie Newby.
I'm a Licensed Nurse and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist with more than fifteen 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.

Katie was simply fantastic with our little baby boy when he was born. She was so caring and gentle both with my son and with me. She always knew exactly what we needed and was able to read my son - knowing what he needed and when. I could not recommend Katie enough.

Katie worked for me from the time my daughter was 1 month old to 6 months old. She had severe health problems and required 24 hour care. It was an extremely stressful time in my life and Katie was the ONLY person besides immediate family I trusted with my daughter. Katie was a Godsend. She was always on time, thoroughly engaged, paid close attention to every instruction, was compassionate and loving to my daughter, and provided me with excellent notes to review in the morning. I knew she was in good hands when she was with Katie and that was the only reason I was able to function during that time. Katie took EXCELLENT care of her. In addition, Katie gave me numerous tips and suggestions to help both my daughter and myself. I fully recommend Katie for work with newborns and children of all ages. I fully recommend Katie for any job that she desires. She is a responsible, trustworthy, loving person.

Katie and her team were amazing and so helpful during my two weeks after birth . They provided great psycho education about breastfeeding, newborn care, and motherhood! I highly recommend you book post partum doula services. You would be entrusting your beautiful bundle of joy in the right hands certainly. They are so supportive to new moms and I was grateful to have them along for the ride!
