My philosophy as a lactation consultant: I support families to meet their own baby feeding goals. However they decide to feed their babies, is the “Right way” (exclusive breastfeeding/chestfeeding, exclusive pumping, half direct latching/ half bottle feeding, some human milk/ some formula, bottle feeding ect.)... I provide and teach judgment free support and believe it is important to meet families where they are at and use terminology that they use. I believe this is the key to making families feel seen, supported and ultimately satisfied with their baby feeding journey.

Hi I'm Kassi! I offer baby feeding support and education online and in the greater Bangor area. I am bilingual in English and Spanish.
Consider me a partner on your baby feeding journey. I am here to provide you with the roadmaps and guide you through the possible challenges ahead. I have worked with thousands of growing families during their lactation journeys. It is my passion to make lactation information accessible and to help parents nourish their new babies, whatever that journey looks like for them.
I loved being a lactation consultant even before becoming a mamá. My feeding journey with my daughter made me love my profession even more and made me a more compassionate consultant. I went through many of the lactation struggles that new families face and felt like stopping several times in the early months. I had every challenge that you can imagine, from nipple pain, separation from my baby, a tongue tied baby, plugged ducts and mastitis, 4 months of exclusive pumping on one side. We struggled for a LONG time, but I learned SO much. Sticking with it was one of the most difficult things I have ever done, but so rewarding.
Let me help guide you through the early days of feeding your baby. You will feel more confident and at peace and you will know that your baby is being well fed. I am so excited to meet you, support you to reach your baby feeding goals, and help you come up with a personalized feeding plan that works for your family.
In my spare time, I love to sit with a warm cup of coffee (or cold...I am a mom now), practice yoga, spend time outdoors, and travel the world.
