As a nurse practitioner and certified midwife, Kaitlyn empowers her patients to actively participate in their journey through womanhood, from adolescence to pregnancy to menopause. Through discussion, education and use of the body’s natural physiology, she strives to promote a safe and healthy lifestyle for women in both body and mind. She teaches childbirth classes monthly and is currently doing deliveries at Winnie Palmer Hospital, in Orlando. We are so proud of her for being recognized as one of the University of Florida’s 2020 40 under 40!
