With a unique ability to befriend humans of all ages, Dr. Kitt Guaraldi engages with patients believing that every person deserves to be fully seen and heard.

Originally from New England, Dr. Kitt pursued bodywork and structural integration certificates after completing her undergraduate degree in Italian and biochemistry. A program in homeopathy ignited her drive to serve people as a physician with strong roots in interconnectedness and relationship with the natural world. During medical school at the National College of Natural Medicine, Dr. Kitt focused her clinical studies on pediatrics and women’s health, attending over 120 births and offering continuing care for mothers and babies.

Joining University of Western States’ naturopathic program, she bears witness to breadth of the human experience and what individualizes each of us, welcoming patients for homeopathy, nutrition counseling, structural integration, pelvic floor physical therapy, pediatric primary care and adult chronic concerns.
