Kathryn Jonas
About me
I am Kathryn Jonas and I am passionate about helping family's navigate their feeding goals. I am a proud Mama of two amazing kiddos and a dog. My family moved to Central Oregon from Eugene in 2017. When I became a mother, I fell in love with breastfeeding and a spark came alive inside. I knew I wanted to make this my career to assist other families in navigating their feeding goals with compassionate and informed care. My goal is to empower families from a loving and respectful place.

Service introduction
Initial Consultations: I prioritize in-home visits for families with babies under one month old whenever scheduling allows. Initial consultations are usually conducted in your home to provide the most comfortable and personalized care. For babies older than one month or follow-up visits, these will typically be scheduled in my office based on availability. Our Support Services: Whether you’re breastfeeding for the first time or are an experienced parent facing new challenges, it’s completely normal to have questions. Additionally, evidence-based care is always evolving, so we stay updated to provide you with the best support possible. At your first visit, we’ll discuss your health history, your birth experience, and any concerns or goals you have regarding breastfeeding. Together, we will develop a feeding plan tailored to your family’s unique needs.
Ratings and reviews
I can’t say enough good things about working with Kathryn! Her expertise played a vital role in meeting my feeding goals and keeping my baby happy and healthy. I began working with Kathryn when my newborn struggled to gain weight. Her evaluation was so thorough - she really took the time to understand what my goals were (as opposed to simply imposing her own feeding preferences) and always answered all of my questions! She then worked with me on supply issues, getting my baby into physical therapy for body work, and supported us through a tongue tie release. Kathryn is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated.
