Katy kruse

I have lived in South Minneapolis for 25 years and have worked in lactation for the last 10 of them. I really love the culture and diversity here, not to mention the awesome parks and bike trails. (I love biking and logged over 1000 miles on my e-cargo bike last summer)

And speaking of kids, I have six: Jossy, Zeff, Keian, Soleil, Iris, and Xavi. I have two bonus kids too, Sebastian, and Gemma! We also have too many cats because we just can’t say no to strays.

I absolutely love working at Willow. I never imagined I’d leave Abbott after working there for 23 years (17 of them as an OB nurse), but I couldn’t be happier. Willow’s leadership is ultimately the reason I’m here, along with amazing coworkers and the coolest clients. At work I’m empowered to take the time needed to help my clients work through their lactation challenges and develop their confidence in parenting their new baby. This is every caregiver’s dream, to be able to take the time necessary to listen to your clients, and to do your very best to help them.
