The ability to recognize the deeper reason behind common feeding and infant struggles is what I am passionate about! Viewing infant feeding from a whole body perspective can reveal root causes of common feeding frustrations and infant discomfort. If you're having a hard time, it doesn't have to be your new "normal". I'd love to work with you!

Did you know prenatal visits can prevent future struggles for you and your baby?
Preventive lactation ideally starts before your baby arrives! Learning about this beautiful process ahead of time can help you feel more prepared. If it's not your first baby and you faced challenges before, this is a perfect first step to try to avoid them. Knowing what to expect makes you more confident and ready to ask for support when needed!

We really were struggling breastfeeding and did not think it was in the cards for us. Katelyn came to see us and her calming presence put us at ease right away. She went above and beyond to ensure our goals were met. She helped us every step of the way and we ended up successfully breastfeeding thanks to her. She did not give up on us and constantly was checking in on us outside of our meeting times to ensure we were doing okay with the tips and tricks she showed us. We would not have been in the position we are without her. She is so patient, kind and truly has a passion for helping moms and their babies. We plan to use her moving forward for all our babies to come. We could not recommend her enough!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Katelyn is incredible. A true baby whisperer.

Since my first visit with her I have felt very confident in going through with breastfeeding. Katelyn is always there for any questions I have through the process. I felt very comfortable during my visit on learning to express colostrum at 37 weeks, and having my husband there each visit made us become more of a team in this process. I will always recommend any first time mom looking into breastfeeding to contact Katelyn! Once baby girl came, each visit with Katelyn has made me more confident and comfortable with breastfeeding. There can be hard times but she always makes it reassuring on how to adjust and get the right latches going! I 1000% recommend reaching out to Katelyn!
Katelyn is so sweet and she makes you feel very comfortable during every visit!

My son arrived prematurely, and my milk didn’t come in immediately. Having consulted with two lactation experts before, I then had the opportunity to work with Sweet Willow Lactation. Katelyn adeptly identified our issues and worked with my son, who required cranial sacral therapy, providing crucial support with latching. She skillfully detected the tension he was holding in his mouth and addressed the problems within our control, transforming the entire process. I’ve highly recommended Katelyn to friends and will continue to rely on her expertise as needed!
I cannot praise Katelyn enough!

After a difficult birth my son was experiencing a lot of tension in his body. This was making it difficult for him to nurse effectively. He was also experiencing general discomfort and was not able to turn his head to the left. While working with Katelyn she has been able to release a lot of that tension he was holding on to. He has been so much more content and comfortable. He is nursing great now and the tightness in his neck is so much better. Katelyn has been easy to work with and we are grateful for all she has done for us!
Katelyn has helped our baby in so many ways!

She helped my baby girl so much! My daughter had such tight muscles and had trouble feeding and seeing Katelyn regularly has made all the difference! Katelyn is very sweet and does a great job at being flexible for scheduling. My baby loves her sessions and is always so relaxed after.
Katelyn is so wonderful!

Katelyn is amazing. She saved our breastfeeding journey! She takes the time to listen, ask about your goals, and thinks outside of the box. We are so lucky to have found her!
Katelyn is amazing!
Our little one had a long and traumatic birth causing her facial asymmetry, she also had a tongue, lip tie and colic. We were referred to Sweet Willow for Cranial Sacral Therapy and these sessions with Katelyn truly helped so much! Not only was she able to balance her asymmetry, but she helped us with her tongue and lip tie and strengthening her oral functions and best of all, she helped our daughter completely calm down her nervous system. Not only is Katelyn qualified as a lactation consultant and CST, she is so sweet and loving making the experience that much better.
I cannot recommend Katelyn and her services enough!
- JORDAN R.
She is so kind and gentle and has such a calming presence. My son loves seeing her and is always so content in her hands! She helped release all sorts of tension in his little body and his posture improved visibly after our very first visit. Katelyn has been a God send to our family and I am so thankful for her!
I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with Katelyn!
