Kassi Reyes RN, IBCLC, MSN, MPH
Hi I'm Kassi! I am a Clinical Educator, RN, IBCLC Lactation Consultant, and Mamá. I have 18+ years of experience as a Registered Nurse, including work as a nursing professor, lactation consultant, postpartum nurse, and doula.
When I started working as a doula, I felt shaky at best while trying to support my clients with baby feeding. So... I decided to become an IBCLC...
This path (that took me 4 years!!) certainly isn't the right one for everyone, and it isn't the only way to feel confident helping families with breastfeeding. That's why I am extremely passionate about educating birthworkers and providers about lactation and baby feeding.
You are in a unique position to help save a lactation journey that is going South. Let me transfer the knowledge that is in my brain to yours!
I know in my heart that the more feeding knowledge EVERY person on the care team has, the more families are going to feel successful and less alone as they navigate feeding challenges.
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.
What doulas are saying...
"Transformed the lactation support I offer mamas as a postpartum doula"
"I have so much more confidence in answering their questions and even teaching them about lactation. I knew the basics, but I can now confidently say I know so much more than the basics. Kassi is incredibly knowledgeable and skillful at helping her students so they can in turn help mamas.

"I am more confident in supporting moms in their feeding journey..."
"Kassi provided a lot of great resources that we can share with our clients and made sure she was evidence-based first.... I am more confident in supporting moms in their feeding journey. If you are considering to working with Kassi as an IBCLC or as a birthworker - do it!!!
