My Qualifications and Philosophy
Cathy Walker, MA, RN, IBCLC
She/Her/Hers
Registered Nurse and Lactation Consultant
My philosophy regarding the breastfeeding relationship is that it should be enjoyable and pain free. I have always believed that feeding your baby is an intimate and powerful life event whether or not it is from the breast or from a bottle. Choosing the right method or combinations of methods is important for the health of the parents and baby. Ultimately a feeding plan that is comfortable and rewarding for everyone is the best choice. I support all choices.
I received my Bachelors in Nursing in 1996 and have been practicing in the field of Maternal-Child Health ever since. I earned my IBCLC Certification in 2009. I have been working with breastfeeding mothers and babies my entire nursing career. I also have a love of teaching. I earned my Masters Degree in Nursing Education in 2012 and enjoy imparting my knowledge and passion to the next generation of nurses. As a Registered Nurse in Obstetrics, I can bring an extra level of care when evaluating the parent-infant dyad and family. I am certified in Maternal-Child Nursing. I am a member of ILCA, USLCA, NYLCA and the Tri-State Breastfeeding Association. I participate in evidence-based practice and enjoy researching and implementing strategies and interventions that improve patient and client experience and outcomes.
In my time off, I love to stargaze and geek out on all things space related. I love connecting with nature and walking with my dog in the woods. I grew up in Westchester and live just over the border in CT with my two adult sons and spouse.
