Hi there, I'm Kaitlyn

OWNER OF WATERSIDE NUTRITION & OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST SPECIALIZING IN FUNCTIONAL Wellness

It is my mission to educate and empower individuals to take control of their health. Health is the foundation that allows us to show up fully in our lives and pursue our greater purpose.

With almost a decade of clinical experience in acute care, I see first hand how chronic illness robs people of their vitality, and how the tradition healthcare system overlooks the power of nutrition and lifestyle changes. I created Waterside Nutrition in hopes of bridging the gap with a root-cause approach.

Working with Kaitlyn was the turning point in my health journey.

I came to her overwhelmed, sitting right on the edge of pre-diabetes and unsure where to begin. I knew I needed to make changes, but all the conflicting nutrition advice left me more confused than empowered. Kaitlyn changed that for me.

She broke everything down in a way that finally made sense—teaching me how to read ingredient labels, understand what my body actually needs, and confidently choose foods that support long-term health. She even went grocery shopping with me, walking aisle by aisle and showing me how to make better choices without feeling deprived.

What I appreciated most is how sustainable she made it. This wasn’t a crash diet or strict plan—it was real-life guidance that fit into my lifestyle. I now feel in control of my health for the first time in years, and I’ve been recommending her to all my neighbors because I truly believe everyone could benefit from her support.

Kaitlyn helped me finally understand why I couldn’t lose weight—and what to do about it.

I was doing everything “right”—eating healthier, working out, trying to make changes—but the scale wouldn’t budge. I felt frustrated, discouraged, and honestly, a little hopeless. That’s when I found Kaitlyn.

She took the time to dig deeper and review my lab work with fresh eyes. No one had ever explained things to me like she did. She helped me understand that my body was holding onto inflammation, struggling with blood sugar imbalances, gut issues, and other internal dysfunctions that were preventing weight loss.

The best part? She didn’t just throw information at me—she created a personalized protocol that was simple, clear, and doable. I finally felt like I had a plan that worked with my body, not against it. For the first time, I’m starting to see the scale move, but more importantly, I feel better. I’m healing from the inside out.

Kaitlyn helped me clear my skin by getting to the root of my acne.

I had been struggling with acne for years and felt like I had tried everything—skincare products, diets, and even prescription medications. Nothing made a lasting difference. When I started working with Kaitlyn, I was honestly just hoping for some improvement, but what I got was so much more.

She reviewed my blood work and explained exactly why my skin was breaking out in the first place—things I never would have connected like nutrient deficiencies, gut issues, inflammation and underlying infection.

She created a custom protocol for me that included supplements, simple nutrition swaps, and small lifestyle changes. It wasn’t overwhelming—it was actually really easy to follow.

Over time, not only did my acne completely clear up, but my blood work has also improved across the board. I feel healthier, more confident, and like I finally understand how to take care of my body in a way that works for me. I’m so grateful for her support.
