The Team Behind the Nest

Meet the educators, clinicians, doulas, and parents who make Nurtured Nest possible—from the founder to the frontline experts behind every course.

Meet the Parent Behind the Platform

I'm Kathryn Dunn—pediatric parent coach and passionate early childhood educator who brings a unique blend of curriculum design, business strategy, and real-life parenting experience to her work.

After becoming a mom, she saw firsthand how confusing and inconsistent parenting education could be—and founded Nurtured Nest to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and everyday family life.

Meet Our Expert Team

Healthcare professionals, doulas, educators, and parents who understand your journey

Professional Expertise

From OB nurses and pediatricians to doulas and dog trainers, we've got the certifications and experience to back it up.

Personal Experience

We're not just experts—we're parents too. We know the nerves, the pressure, and the 'wait, is this normal?' feeling.

Credible & Current

Our courses are reviewed and updated regularly, combining the latest evidence with practical wisdom from the field.

Here's the truth: We remember what it felt like to read birth stories at 2 AM, wondering if we'd know what to do. That's why we built Nurtured Nest—to offer real support from people who've been there.

Why Nurtured Nest?

Founded in 2019 by Kathryn Dunn, Nurtured Nest grew from one parent’s belief that there had to be a better way to educate families. Today, we provide modern, self-paced online courses that support every kind of caregiver—from pregnancy to baby’s first year and beyond.

Our team of experts includes healthcare professionals, parenting educators, and real parents. We’ve carefully built our classes to meet the needs of today’s busy families and growing babies.

We want our learners to feel empowered. To feel like, even in the chaos, they’ve got this. And we’ve got them.
