About Katelyn

My career began in 2012 as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with a mission for healthier families in my community. I married my high school sweetheart in 2012 and I became a Mom in 2015 where my breastfeeding journey began... many challenges I overcame with all 3 of my babies but it was not without support.

After my first home birth, I began to weave into our amazing NC birth community as my passion for lactation grew. God continued nudging me to expand my career so after 4 years of earning my lactation hours while nursing my own babies, I gained my expertise as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) credential in 2024.

I feel blessed to now guide and empower other Moms to achieve their breastfeeding goals as I did too!
