Caitlin Lahr, CA

Caitlin was born and raised in Orlando, Fl and currently reside in West Des Moines with her husband, Nate, and their “furry child”, Benelli. Although Nate is from Iowa, Caitlin has only lived here since September 2009. While the winter was quite a culture shock for her, she very much enjoys living in West Des Moines! Before moving to Iowa, Nate and Caitlin lived in North Carolina where Nate was stationed at Ft. Bragg. The military plays a huge part in their lives as Caitlin is also in the Air National Guard. She is a a very proud American and wife!

Nate and Caitlin enjoy taking Benelli for long walks around the neighborhood and letting her run crazy at the dog park. They also love catching all the new comedy, action, and even horror flicks. They are huge movie fans! Caitlin always tries to keep herself busy and has recently taken up baking and scrapbooking!

Caitlin is somewhat new to Chiropractic, but is fascinated by all the benefits and she is learning something new every day! Caitlin is currently working towards becoming a Certified Chiropractic Assistant in physiotherapies. She loves working with Dr. Kellie and seeing our great patients every day!
