Katie Flaherty

About me

I'm Katie Flaherty! I'm a mom to two girls, registered nurse, and international board certified lactation consultant. I worked in the pediatric space for almost 10 years prior to becoming a lactation consultant in 2017. My mission is to provide new and expectant parents with the support and education they need to make informed decisions about feeding. I believe there is NO wrong way to feed your baby and there are so many tools we can use in our journey! I am passionate about maternal mental health and helping families navigate this postpartum time.
