Katie Skaggs BSN, RNC-MNN, IBCLC, CEIM, CFT Provider Hi! I'm Katie and I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a Bachelor's prepared Registered Nurse certified in Maternal/Newborn Nursing. I am a Certified Educator of Infant Massage, and I am trained in Craniosacral Fascial Therapy. I spent 13 years working in-patient with families during these precious first days of meeting their new baby, and now I have my own private practice. Every day is different with new challenges and unique family dynamics, but it is always an honor to be part of their journey. Each of us has our own path that leads us to where we are, and I truly feel this is what I am meant to be doing — supporting women, nurturing families, and helping you to achieve your goals whatever they may be. I am a mother to two boys, and while I did breastfeed them both, it was not without challenges. A dear friend and IBCLC came to my home to help me during that time and I was so incredibly grateful for her help and guidance. She changed our trajectory, and it was in this moment I knew I would pay this gift forward someday. Something fun about me is that this is my second chapter. I spent my first 10 years after high school dancing professionally for the Richmond Ballet. While in many ways it feels like a completely different world, it provided me with an incredible work ethic, a desire to understand how the physical body works, and the realization that to connect with other humans you too have to be vulnerable.

I believe in nurturing your ability to advocate for yourself and your family throughout the breastfeeding journey. With each breastfeeding journey being unique and each family having their own goals, you can expect me as your lactation consultant to think outside the box, considering various factors that can influence breastfeeding and infant feeding challenges.

Katelyn Kleiber, IBCLC, RLC, began working with breastfeeding families as a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and lactation intern before becoming an IBCLC in 2022. Her interest in lactation grew from a longstanding interest in women’s health and the need for better support during the postpartum period. Katelyn views feeding as a relationship between parent and baby rather than a single technical skill. She considers both sides of the feeding pair, works with families to identify the factors making feeding more difficult, and develops plans that are practical and sustainable at home. A particular focus of Katelyn’s practice is the connection between feeding and sleep as babies grow. She enjoys helping families better understand how feeding patterns, development, sleep, and a parent’s own rest can affect one another. Through sleep consultations, she works with families to find realistic approaches that support both baby’s needs and the well-being of the parent. Katelyn values long-term care and the opportunity to support families as their needs change throughout infancy and beyond. Her approach is thoughtful, individualized, and centered on helping families feel informed and confident as they navigate both feeding and sleep. Katelyn currently offers virtual consultations as well as home visits in the Bryan and College Station area. Outside of work, Katelyn enjoys traveling, reading, hiking, and spending time in nature.

Liz is an Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) trained body worker who has over 10 years of experience working with newborns and their families. Her unique perspective on family centered care comes from a compilation of knowledge that she gained by working in a Level III NICU, as a postpartum doula, as a lactation consultant and a body worker. Her philosophy is that every family should feel they are thriving, not just surviving, the adjustment to adding a new baby to the family. While a lot of her time is focused on the first three months after delivery, her support can span years as the family unit is ever evolving. Her specialties include oral function, assessment for oral restriction (aka lip/tongue ties), tension release with CFT, post NICU graduates, multiples, and medically complex infants. The most important factors that drive the care you will receive from Liz are 1) what are you goals as a family and 2) what is the root cause of any struggle you are experiencing. There will be no band-aid fixes provided and nothing short of comprehensive care provided. It would be an honor to be included in your postpartum journey!
