I was a patient of Caitlin's during my cancer treatment at the University of Maryland. I have nothing but great things to say about her. She was one of the few people that made me going to chemo bearable. I'm not going to lie. I was a little scared of her lol just because I was losing a lot of weight and not really listening to her. Once I started listening to her it did help me out immensely. I love her so much that I have now sent my ex-husband to her since he is a newly diagnosed diabetic and does not know how to take care of himself. He has nothing but great things to say about her and is planning on seeing her on a regular basis. I see a huge difference in him already since his first appointment with her. Thank you, Kaitlyn

My appt with Kaitlin was wonderful. I could not have had a better experience. The intake form and discussion was very thorough. My nutrition plan to follow is easy to digest (literally lol). I am looking forward to continuing with Kaitlin in the future as she is knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

I had my first appointment with Kaitlin last Sunday. By the afternoon she sent me so much information, recipes, diets etc. She is very knowledge and easy to talk to on the phone. I'm excited to start following her diet and recommendations to lose weight, drink more water and exercise. I highly recommend her!

Working with Kaitlin has been a great experience. I initially set a goal to lose 10 pounds, but have actually lost 15 since seeing her. I'm a health care professional and exercise instructor, so I know much of what I should do, but having someone to help guide and encourage me through important lifestyle changes has been literally life-changing. And even if you think you know what needs to be done, Kaitlin's expert knowledge enables her to provide so many recommendations that may not be on your radar, such as what to add to your diet for extra antioxidants and disease protection. In addition to providing a suggested nutrition plan with specific food items to look for, she is consistently available for any questions you may have throughout the process. The virtual aspect of appointments is so convenient, and Kaitlin will find days/times that will work for your schedule. Also, you get to choose how often you want those appointments. She is exactly what I was looking for, and I highly recommend working with her on your journey to better health!

Felt like she really cared about me and my progress. It felt more like talking to a friend than a business. She's great, provides a lot of ideas and recipes, doesn't judge. Highly recommended.

I have been seeing Kaitlin for over a year now and she is AMAZING. I went to her initially for intuitive eating assistance and then ended up going the bariatric surgery route. I love the approach she takes to food and she works to make sure that the plans are tailored to your success. She always goes above and beyond to make you feel supported and that it’s the two of you as a team working towards your goals. I have recommended her to all of my friends!

Kaitlin’s knowledge and expertise in the area of nutrition has helped me get healthy the right way! She uses research based strategies to guide her decisions which has led me to lose weight and feel amazing. Kaitlin has an incredible ability to pivot when something isn’t working. Kaitlin’s positive attitude, enthusiasm and kindness also makes working with her a pleasure.

I find Kaitlin to be a most knowledgeable and very patient nutritionist. She will work with you to develop a plan that you find comfortable to follow. She will follow-up with you as often as you like and make dietary changes as needed. The availability of her recipes helps a lot. Kaitlin is a joy to work with as you slowly change your previously self-defeating dieting methods.

Before working with Kaitlin I struggled with my diet and had a lot of unhealthy habits. I would gain and lose the same few pounds over and over. But since I started working with Kaitlin in October of 2021 I have learned so much about healthy and mindful eating and have managed to lose 20 pounds the right way so it stays off this time. The personalized plan Kaitlin developed for me has been so easy to follow and she really listened to my likes and dislikes so I would have things I actually wanted to eat everyday. On top of being a great nutritionist she is so kind and makes you feel very comfortable and accepted during your sessions. She checks in with emails in between appointments and encourages you to keep going and stay motivated. If you are looking to make lasting changes to your health Kaitlin will help you achieve your goals. I highly recommend her!
