Kaitlyn is particularly passionate about partnering with people as they heal from digestive disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns. She works with a diverse array of people, including those with GI conditions such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), people with cancer and cancer survivors, clients looking to improve their heart health, those looking to incorporate more plant-based eating and women’s health and PCOS.

She also uses her past experience as a personal chef to make flavor and enjoyment a fundamental factor when choosing foods.
Outside of work, you can find Kaitlyn practicing her shoulder stands in yoga class, buying far too much produce at the farmers’ market, relaxing on the sofa with her husband and cat, or making a mess in the kitchen with her latest cooking project.
