About Me
KAYLA TREFFINGER, RN, BSN, PHN
I grew up in San Diego and then moved around California, from San Francisco to Long Beach, before settling down in Santa Barbara in 2022. I became a registered nurse in 2016 and graduated with a bachelor's degree in nursing from Cal State Fullerton. As a nurse, I primarily have experience in the NICU, where my passion for working with babies and their parents was formed. I also have some experience working for insurance doing medical reviews for the NICU and pediatric population. I am a certified breastfeeding specialist and I am currently enrolled in the UCSD Lactation Consultant program to further my education in this area. I have completed DONA training as a postpartum doula. Additionally, I am a public health nurse and CPR certified.
As I have progressed through my career, I have realized that I felt called to provide a more holistic approach to care. I strongly believe that new parents and their children do not receive enough support. The saying "it takes a village" exists for a reason. I know that most of us don't have a village, but I would be happy to be a part of yours.
In my personal life
I love spending time outside, from hiking, to gardening, to walking my dogs. I am a member of the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and a supporter of their mission to conserve native plants and habitats. I love to be near the ocean, walking the trails on the bluffs of More Mesa or getting my bare feet in the sand at Arroyo Burro. I also enjoy time feeling cozy inside, with hobbies including knitting, baking, reading, and cuddling with my cat.
