Dr. Heather (Chana) Gass holds a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology and has been involved in research and education for over a decade. When she was expecting her first child she knew she wanted to strictly breastfeed. After a traumatic birth her baby was taken to the NICU, and a challenging nursing journey began. Dr. Gass felt she was unprepared for initiating breastfeeding, pumping while the baby was in the NICU, and maintaining a strong milk supply. These struggles propelled her to learn more about lactation and become a lactation care provider, as a certified lactation counselor through the Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice. Dr. Gass is committed to helping you initiate and sustain a strong breastfeeding connection with your baby. Dr. Gass provides comprehensive support through classes, prenatal education, and postpartum care to help you confidently initiate and sustain a strong breastfeeding relationship.

I have been so blessed to have jobs I have loved all my life - wife, mother, grandmother, registered nurse, pregnancy care center director, lactation consultant and certified postpartum doula. It is hard to believe it has been over 50 years since nursing school. Though I would never have thought so in nursing school, my focus has always been all things moms, babies and families. ​This journey has taken me from basic knowledge of how babies are born to a deep respect of the profound changes that take place within the childbearing family, because we are so fearfully and wonderfully made.

My name is Kristen. I am an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and pediatric Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with over 10 years of experience in hospitals, NICUs, community programs, early intervention, feeding therapy, WIC, and private practice. I currently spend time working in feeding/nutrition therapy for kiddos birth through 3 years old, then see clients for lactation education & support in home and virtual visits through my private practice, The Lactation Mentor. I have a strong clinical background and practice evidence-based care, but in a way that prioritizes your family’s unique needs. As a dietitian, I have had the absolute privilege of walking alongside families through every possible feeding scenario, and I believe this has shaped how I practice as a lactation consultant. I know and deeply believe that every feeding journey is unique, and there is no wrong way to feed your baby if you are given the tools and information to make informed decisions that work for your family. I have an empathetic and therapeutic counseling style, but I’m also a total goofball with a little touch of sarcasm. I never take life (or myself) too seriously, because life is too short to not be laughing! When we work together, you’ll find me making complex topics easy and fun by giving you relatable examples using a teaching style that meets you where you are. I am a fierce advocate and want you to have all the tools you need to be able to advocate for yourself. I know that, for you to be successful at this, you need to make a plan that works for you. I want to empower you to have the confidence to navigate the ups and downs of lactation even long after we’re done working together. I believe you have the right to make informed decisions in a medical system where the odds are unfortunately often stacked against you meeting your lactation goals. That’s where I come in! You’ve got this, and I’ve got you. Outside of my day to day, I am an avid reader, yogi, and artist, and enjoy exploring new coffee shops and breweries with my husband and our dog, where we live outside of Philadelphia, PA.
