Simply Nourish

Confident Feeding,

Balanced Healing

Simply Nourish is founded by Katy — an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant,  Perinatal Registered Nurse and Reiki Master. Now with an office based out of Abbotsford, Steph and Katy proudly support families in the Fraser Valley, as well as the Greater Vancouver Area in their transition to life with their newborns. Whether you're an experienced or new parent, our goal is to provide emotional support and teach techniques to help you feel more confident about the new challenges you may face raising  your children. 


The transformation into parenthood is both frightening and exciting. As such, there tends to be a lot of emotional turbulence and fear surrounding childbirth and breastfeeding. There is no road-map to parenthood — but with the combined experience of four kids and feeding journeys, as well as decades of experience in the perinatal field, both Katy and Steph can provide you with guidance and professional advice to help you navigate your pregnancy and feeding journey.


No parent should have to go through this journey alone. Whether you need an empathetic ear to listen and help you feel understood or are overwhelmed about the options of feeding your baby, we've got you. We offer home, office and virtual visits
to prepare you for the early days of feeding all the way to weaning!  We offer evidence-based solutions to meet your parenting goals with your baby.  There is no  "right way "  for this journey, but there are many ways to reach your individual goals!



Who should I book with?

Katy has relocated her family to the Cayman Islands as of spring 2025 and is seeing clients virtually for both lactation support and reiki.


Steph is located in Abbotsford and provides virtual and in-home support to families in the Fraser Valley and beyond. 

About Katy & Simply Nourish

What Are The Benefits Of Working With Simply Nourish?

  • Evidence-Based Information

    Navigating the world of parenthood can seem daunting — and there's no way to have all the right answers. Both Katy and Steph are committed to keeping up with the latest, evidence based practices in the lactation field so that we can share the best information with our families possible.

  • Support Your Feeding Goal

    Having a professional lactation consultant in Surrey or the Vancouver region can help you gain confidence in nourishing your baby. Chestfeeding doesn't always come naturally for parents and newborns — so by working with us and our lactation consultants, you'll have a board-certified guide to address your emotional and physical barriers to feeding. For information on how to find a lactation consultant near you, please connect with us today! 

  • Care For Your Newborn

    The first few weeks of bringing home a newborn can feel draining and chaotic. As IBCLCs we are here to offer you support at home as you transition into your new life. No parent should have to navigate this space on their own. I’m here as a non-judgemental ear to vent and to encourage you in your capabilities to parent and care for your newborn. 

  • Reiki Healing

    Reiki can bring you clarity, balance and a new way of helping cope with a variety of physical and spirtual challenges such as anxiety, pain and grounding needs. Reiki is a gentle, energy based healing practice that promotes relaxation. Rooted in Japanese tradition, the word reiki means "universal life energy".

  • Lactation Consultant

    Chestfeeding is an important bonding moment for parent and baby, but it doesn't always come naturally to new parents. The best time to connect with a chestfeeding lactation consultant near you is before the baby arrives, so you can prepare for feeding when the baby is born. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I can best support your chestfeeding goals
