Dr. Kavita is a Family Medicine Physician, Lactation Consultant and Mother of 3. She has a wealth of medical experience spanning 17 years, including 6 years in Hospital Paediatrics at the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network including Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) at RHW, Randwick before further training to become a General Practitioner/Family Medicine Doctor. 

Despite her extensive Paediatric experience, she was shocked to see the maternal mental distress faced by new mothers. This distress is largely due to societal misconceptions about breastfeeding and newborn care and this is what ignited her passion and further training in Breastfeeding Medicine. 

She is an active member of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. She is experienced in the model of Neuroprotective Developmental Care and a Possums NDC Practitioner. She is also certified in the Thompson Breastfeeding method. She is passionate about improving breastfeeding support and education.

Outside of medicine, she has a strong interest in nature, martial arts and social justice. Before Medicine she did a Bachelor of Arts - majoring in Classics - Greek and Roman Literature and Political science.
