Hi, I’m Kathryn Jonas IBCLC
Hi,
I am Kathryn Jonas and I am passionate about assisting 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.

My Approach
I received my Masters Certificate in Human Lactation in 2021 and have a Bachelor’s of Science in Human Development. My goal is to empower families to meet their feeding goals with their baby. I take into consideration: lifestyle, previous medical and mental health conditions, goals, postpartum experience, previous experience if relevant. All to tailor a plan for you and your baby. I use evidence based techniques to assist you and your family to meet your feeding goals.
Your body & your Baby
You know your family, self and baby best. You could navigate this time alone, but we all know that adventures are more fun with friends and we could be a dream team.
How I serve
It is important to me that I meet families where they are at. I inquire about goals, challenges, lifestyle all to develop a plan of action that will work best for your family. I operate free from judgement and really tailor my care to meet your families needs and goals.
