Meet our newest Lactation Intern, Karin - a Breastfeeding Specialist who is working on her lactation practice hours, observing us working with moms and babies, on her path to becoming a Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
Karin Tang, BS, CBS is a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS) and aspiring International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with a B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders.
She began her working life as a neuromonitoring technologist before stepping away to start a family. Her journey into motherhood deeply shaped her passion for maternal-infant health.
Karin’s experiences as a bereaved parent and NICU mom inspired her to support families navigating infant feeding challenges. She has become an active voice in the infant loss and bereavement advocacy space.
Now a mother to a baby boy, Karin is proud to provide compassionate, evidence-based lactation care. When she’s not assisting families, she enjoys floral design, playing pickleball, and sipping on iced lavender honey lattes.
