December's Feature Practitioner: Katie Howser

I am lucky enough to be in a robust community of compassionate and competent practitioners who are dedicated to supporting parents in the prenatal to postpartum stages of life.

Now more than ever, it is crucial that parents have a team behind them to carry them through the rough waters of parenthood.

Every month I will be featuring a practitioner and this month happens to be a woman with a heart of gold who has walked the path before you and carries compassion and education in her back pocket wherever she goes.

❤️ Meet Katie Howser ❤️

Katie Howser is quite possibly the most sought out Lactation Consultant in the Bay Area.

When I say everyone knows Katie, I mean everyone knows Katie.

Early on, as a birth and postpartum doula, Katie quickly noticed that most of the questions and worries families had revolved around breastfeeding. Having been certified as an IBCLC through UCSD, Katie completed her clinical hours at Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco.

She now offers in-home lactation support in SF and Marin and uses evidence-based care in her work with families.

In this field for over 15 years, Katie works with new parents to educate and support them in their breastfeeding/bottle feeding journey.

Areas Katie specializes in:

❤️ Breast or nipple pain
❤️ Low milk supply
❤️ Fussy baby
❤️ Changes in medication
❤️ Mastitis
❤️ Plugged ducts
❤️ Oversupply
❤️ Overactive letdown
❤️ Going back to work

Parents, if you are looking for a competent, kind and knowledgable Lactation Consultant, Katie is your person!

Oh, and one fun fact about Katie: She grew up on a four-generation almond farm. How cool is that?

She still loves being outside and growing a big vegetable and flower garden.
