For the Parents | West Alabama Pediatrics

Kayla Holcombe, LPN, CLC

Kayla was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, where she now resides with her husband, Max and sons, Cooper and Cade. Kayla joined the West Alabama Pediatrics team in 2015 as a nurse, finding her love for interacting with children and their families. Through years of working with mothers and after her own breastfeeding journey, Kayla discovered a desire to help other moms meet their own breastfeeding goals and is now working as a Certified Lactation Consultant (CLC). Support is important for new mothers and we are fortunate to be able to provide such support at West Alabama Pediatrics. When Kayla isn't working you will find her spending precious time with her family and enjoying the outdoors.
