About Kaitlin

I grew up near the beach in Gulf Breeze, Florida, and later discovered my love for the mountains while in college. My husband and I enjoy hiking, camping, and cooking together -- while being endlessly entertained by our busy toddler. Spending time with her is the highlight of my day, everyday. I am an avid cookbook collector and a lifelong foodie, always eager to explore new cuisines and flavors from around the world.

Approach to care

My priority is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can build a positive relationship with food, nutrition, and your body. I take an additive approach to nutrition—focusing on what can be included in your routine to help you feel nourished, strong, and energized—rather than on restriction. Food is a source of love, comfort, and nourishment, and my role is to help you discover how that can work best for you. I encourage a flexible dietary pattern that includes all foods, emphasizes variety and moderation, and is tailored to your unique preferences and stage of life.

Your first session with Kaitlin

Our first session is all about you! We’ll spend time exploring your health history, current and past relationship with food, typical eating habits, lifestyle, hobbies, and your goals for the future. We can also discuss any nutrition topics you’d like to learn more about. From there, we’ll begin creating a personalized roadmap that includes both short- and long-term goals to guide our work together. You’ll always be in charge — and goals will be flexible, realistic, and tailored to your needs. My aim is to support you in making positive, sustainable changes that feel natural and fit into you and your family's lifestyle.
