Lactation Consultants that Accept Cigna in Oregon

I am Kathryn Jonas and I am passionate about helping 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.

Feeding your baby is a vulnerable experience and I am honored to support you on this journey. I believe in personalized care. I am available in person or through virtual visits.

Hello, I’m a IBCLC, registered nurse, birth doula, and certified childbirth educator. I provide in home lactation consulting to parents in Central Oregon. I have years of experience working with parents and infants, helping give guidance with infant care and feeding and postpartum health. I look forward to working with your family in this postpartum stage of life.

The fullness of my life has been centered around children and maternal care and learning about herbs and how they support a natural lifestyle. I have been a childcare provider, prenatal to youth (special needs included for years past 18 years of age), for over 30 years. My decision to become a doula, and eventually to become a midwife, has been in the works throughout my life. I have been influenced by other doulas and midwives from the East and West Coast, with a predominance of this influence happening when I was in North Carolina. My mission is to ensure that mothers, and mothers-to-be have the resources, knowledge, and care needed to ensure the healthy births of their children, as well as knowledge of how to care for their newborns and older children. I have experience as a nutritional specialist (chef), well-baby care, well-Mama care, and family care and pre-and post-birth dynamics.
