Caitlin Parsons, RDH, C-IAYT, CEAS
Caitlin Parsons, RDH, C-IAYT, CEAS is a nationally recognized ergonomics consultant, certified yoga therapist, and founder of The Aligned Hygienist. With over 17 years of clinical dental experience, she specializes in injury prevention, nervous system regulation, and burnout recovery for dental professionals.
After navigating her own experience with chronic pain early in her career, Caitlin transformed the way she practices and teaches dentistry. She now works with dental teams and organizations to integrate ergonomic systems, stress physiology education, and sustainable performance strategies that support retention, productivity, and long-term professional longevity.
Her work challenges the culture of pushing through pain and instead promotes alignment—physically, mentally, and operationally—so clinicians can build high-performing careers without sacrificing their health.
