I'MKATIE
​​I am the founder of Embracing Parenting and The Nest Family Resource, where we support families from pregnancy through the preschool years. Grounded in my experience and master's degree in Maternal and Child Nutrition and Lactation, I am passionate about helping parents connect with their own parenting compass, navigate challenges, and embrace the journey with an open mind.

Let's connect:
Alison, Oakland
"Katie has a talent for supporting new families. Working with her has been a lifesaver; she has given us the gift of knowing we can feed our son no matter what."
Jess, San Diego
"I am a first time mom and have consulted with Katie remotely via email and phone. She has been so incredibly helpful with correct latching, feeding, and choosing the correct breast pump for returning to work. Her guidance has been instrumental in my first weeks feeding my little boy as it has alleviated much unneeded stress."
Emily, Grass Valley
"A dream! Katie is fantastic. She has found her calling in this career and I feel so lucky to have her as a part of my mothering community."
Sienna, San Ramon
"Katie is so patient and helpful and really makes herself available for the follow-up questions we always have. My baby is now well past her birth weight, and on the road to becoming a confident breastfeeder!"
