SARAH CASSIDY
RN, BSN, IBCLC, LMT
she/her
Prior to founding Initiating Lactation, Sarah's clinical background was in Pediatric Home Nursing, Labor and Delivery and lactation consultation in a hospital setting.
Her years of experience as a registered nurse combined with over twenty years of practicing massage therapy bring a unique combination of compassion and dedication to clinical excellence with a foundation in evidence based practice.
As the mother of two children, she has learned that parenting requires great flexibility and can lead us down unexpected paths.
After the birth of her first child in 2006, she was disappointed by the gap in care for mothers and infants during early postpartum. Becoming a mother led her on a path toward becoming a nurse and lactation consultant. Her career has been dedicated to improving lactation support and early postpartum care for families in the South Puget Sound.
