Meet Kaitlin! We are so fortunate to have her as part of our Nourish Nevada team.
Kaitlin is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, with a strong background in pediatric care and womenβs health. She obtained her bachelorβs degree from San Francisco State University in 2014, majoring in Biology with a minor in Holistic Health. Kaitlin then pursued her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University, graduating in 2020. During her studies, she completed additional training to obtain a specialty track in pediatric primary care.
Throughout her primary care clinical rotations, Kaitlin gained extensive experience treating a broad range of conditions using a combination of alternative and conventional medicine. However, she felt her calling was helping to establish the foundations of health from a very early age. She feels strongly that prevention is the best medicine!
Her own breastfeeding journey began with both of her kids during medical school as she nursed almost five years, with two of those years spent tandem nursing. Her own persistence and family support kept her going through multiple bouts of mastitis, clogged ducts, and time spent pumping on shifts. She felt the immense lack of awareness in appropriate breastfeeding management in the medical field and decided to get her Certified Lactation Educator training in 2019 to bridge that gap.
Kaitlin completed the 500 hours to become a Board Certified Lactation Consultant with our team at Nourish Nevada. She took her board exam and offically became an IBCLC in July 2025. Her goal is to specialize in breastfeeding medicine and offer consultation services to support the health and well-being of the whole family from prenatal and beyond!
