Hi, I’m Katie—an IBCLC dedicated to supporting families with compassionate, evidence-based care. I received my lactation training through Metropolitan State University of Denver and have spent the past eight years working as both a birth and postpartum doula, supporting more than 100 families through some of the most tender and transformative moments of their lives. I come to lactation work with a foundation in Nutrition, holding a bachelor’s degree from UNC.  I have three kiddos of my own—each with their own unique breastfeeding journey. These experiences deepen my understanding that every family’s path is different, and every goal is valid. I truly love being welcomed into people’s homes and consider the postpartum period a sacred space. My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and meeting families exactly where they are—whether they’re navigating challenges, exploring their feeding options, or simply seeking reassurance. When I’m not working with families, you can find me snowboarding, traveling, reading, cooking, and hanging out with my little crew, hopefully outside, having an adventure!

I used Katie for the birth of my first son and my second son. If I were to have a third child, I would use her again. She is knowledgeable, a calming presence and was supportive in the exact ways I needed her to be for both births. I am so happy with how my labor and delivery went each time and I feel like Katie played a huge role in me being able to feel that way. I would recommend katie highly to anyone looking for a doula.

I’ve worked with Julee for over two years - as a first time mom who wanted to exclusively breastfeed my daughter, i struggled with nipple pain. Thankfully, we met Julee who supported us with a unique care plan and walked us through our breastfeeding journey, from establishing my supply while I was on maternity leave to maintaining my supply via pumping at work, and even working with our caregivers to bottlefeed baby in a way that supported the transition from bottle back to breast. She is also helping our second baby through some tongue and lip tie issues. Julee is truly a jack of all trades, allowing us to receive support and treatment for all things related to feeding without having to see multiple specialists. I don’t think I would’ve reached my breastfeeding goals without her expertise and support. Thank you, Julee!

Neena was a lifesaver for me and my baby! I was struggling with latching and not making enough milk for my baby. Neena patiently worked with me and my baby until I was confident with latching and helped me boost my milk supply. She also has an online library of videos which she gave me access to so I could learn more about breastfeeding and pumping in my free time. I really liked the videos on pumping and would watch them while feeding at night. Even though Neena gave me some sleep training tips during our time together, I am looking forward to working with her when I am ready to tackle sleep training. I couldn’t have asked for better support—she’s truly amazing!

T. 7 reviews 5 months ago Nyasia is incredibly down to earth and as caring as she is kind. She made my husband and I feel safe in the months leading up to labor and in the throws of birth. I'm incredibly grateful to have met her and plan to seek her out for my future pregnancies. She is a wealth of knowledge and you'd think unlimited resources (she has the best goodies). Her extensive background shows up in ways you wouldn't think you need until she comforts you with something from her tool kit. Outside of making me feel safe in birth she also made me feel empowered. She reassured my husband and I that come what may in the birthing room I can conquer it (and did). She whispered in my ear the probable course my labor would take and of course was right but because of her I was prepared. I watched her stand at my feet and whisper prayers for an emergency situation down the hall, care for my husband, and comfort me, all in a 7 minute span. She's extremely diligent with your privacy and will never impugn your or anyone's dignity. Out of the thousands of stories she could tell she only tells ones about herself and her personal experiences. Now after she'd supported us with, through and in labor as my doula I had the added blessing of her being my lactation consultant. She walked me through the first weeks of nursing, comforted me when my baby went on a nursing strike pulled all kinds of breastfeeding tools out of her infamous tote bag, suggested positions for both me and baby and is still educating and walking with us at almost 10 months post partum. Having her as our doula further encouraged me to start my path in being a birth worker and wouldn't you know, it was Nyasia that provided me the links to free doula training. We love her immensely.

I’m Laura, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a Bachelor of Science in Maternal and Child Health and Human Lactation. I offer both virtual and in-person consultations, providing breastfeeding Support and infant feeding support to families globally and locally in CSRA, North Augusta, Augusta, Martinez, Evans, Grovetown, and surrounding regions. My specialization includes addressing concerns related to oral function and mobility, nurturing gut-health alongside lactation, tackling challenges such as low milk supply and relactation, optimizing pumping techniques including flange fitting, overcoming bottle feeding difficulties, and supporting families with older babies. These areas aren’t just my skills—they’re also my passion. I’m dedicated to staying informed about the newest updates to ensure every family receives the best care and the most current information available. As both a lactation consultant and a mother to a 9-year-old wild child, I’ve learned that a successful breastfeeding journey involves more than just latch and milk supply. I take a deeper look, seeking to understand the ‘Why?’ behind challenges and to provide compassionate and honest care. 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. Each session with me is dedicated to fostering open conversations, pinpointing emerging issues, and working together to create customized plans that address your individualized needs.

Laura was simply incredible. She helped me with my third baby, when I thought I had things figured out. He was born with pretty severe tongue and lip ties, and had a hard time breastfeeding. Laura was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and kind. She was personable and compassionate, and walked the line between being a friend and being a professional. Laura helped us navigate a frenectomy, projectile vomiting, overproduction, and lots of emotions. We loved her, and cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hey there, I'm Kristin Ramirez, IBCLC RLC, here to support and empower you on your breastfeeding journey. With a sprinkle of warmth, a dash of expertise, and a whole lot of passion, I'm dedicated to helping families in Tomball, Spring, and Cypress thrive. My path to becoming an IBCLC was paved by my own experiences breastfeeding my children. Five years as an IBCLC and three years prior as a CLC have given me a deep understanding of the joys and challenges that come with nurturing little ones. I believe in taking a holistic approach to lactation support, seeing the breastfeeding dyad as more than just the baby. By addressing the physical, emotional, and environmental factors at play, I'm able to provide comprehensive support tailored to your unique needs and preferences. I firmly believe that family members play a vital role in the breastfeeding journey. Where there's support from partners, grandparents, and other family members, successful breastfeeding flourishes. Comfort is key in my book! I'm all about getting cozy during feedings and practicing skin-to-skin contact to enhance communication between you and your little one. It's not just about optimizing latch and effectiveness – it's about strengthening the bond between parent and child. What fuels my fire? It's the incredible feeling of helping families reach their infant feeding goals and supporting them every step of the way. When I'm not in my professional role, you'll likely find me in the kitchen, whipping up delicious meals and experimenting with new recipes – cooking is my happy place! So, if you're ready to embark on a journey of breastfeeding success, I'm here to guide and cheer you on every step of the way. Let's make your breastfeeding goals a reality – together!
