Hi, I’m Kara — a Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and the founder of Latch Well Lactation. I’m passionate about supporting families through the early days of feeding with compassionate, evidence-based care.

With a background in nursing and specialized training in lactation, I bring both clinical knowledge and a warm, supportive approach to every visit. I understand that feeding a baby can be both rewarding and overwhelming, and my goal is to help families feel confident, informed, and supported—without pressure or judgment.

I work with families through all stages of their feeding journey, including breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, weaning and troubleshooting common challenges. Whether we meet virtually or in your home, care is always personalized to your goals, your baby, and your family.

My Approach

My approach is gentle, evidence-based, and family-centered. I believe there is no one “right” way to feed a baby—only the way that works best for you and your family. I meet families where they are, offering non-judgmental support, practical guidance, and individualized care. Together, we create a feeding plan that supports both infant health and parental well-being.
