our story

Deep Roots in Health and Wellness


Dr. Kathryn Waters, a native of northern Wisconsin and graduate of the Illinois College of Optometry, first made her way to California to complete advanced training at the Palo Alto VA Medical Center. Throughout her career, service has remained at the heart of her work, including two years as the first optometrist for the See Well to Learn program with Prevent Blindness Northern California.


After fifteen years in the Bay Area, Kathryn followed her heart south to the beautiful Santa Barbara community, where she shared her deep expertise in vision care. Over time, her passion for healing expanded beyond the clinic and into the kitchen — leading her to embrace a new path rooted in food, wellness, and natural living.


Today, Kathryn brings her "food first" philosophy to life through her online platform, Red Boot Kitchen — a vibrant space where nutrition, sustainability, and beauty come together. As a Certified Personalized Nutrition Practitioner and Natural Chef, she creates nourishing, intentional recipes that prioritize organic, regenerative, and biodynamic ingredients — honoring both the body and the earth.
