weight-INCLUSIVE nutrition counseling
Nutrition support that goes beyond the scale
We accept insurance!
If you're tired of starting over every Monday, jumping from diet to diet because nothing seems to stick, feeling overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, and craving an approach that goes deeper than "eat this, not that", you're in the right place.
Our team of weight inclusive and non-diet dietitians is here to help you feel comfortable with food, reconnect with your body's needs, and care for your health so you can improve your well-being not just physically, but mentally too.
Our approach focuses on compassionate, evidence-based nutrition counseling rooted in intuitive eating values so you can learn to nourish yourself with confidence instead of fear. We can help you stop the food noise, guilt, shame, and all-or-nothing thinking around food for good.
Let us help you build confidence around eating and caring for your health in a way that feels sustainable (without counting calories, tracking every bite of food you eat, or obsessing about the scale).
We offer virtual nutrition counseling and our team is in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare in select states. For those paying without insurance, sessions are also available at our private-pay rates. However, most of our clients have little to no out-of-pocket costs when using insurance benefits.
work with a weight inclusive dietitian to create a more peaceful relationship with food and your body, without sacrificing your health.
I understand what it feels like to be trapped in a toxic relationship with food and your body because I've been there. I struggled with my own disordered eating issues during my college years. My recovery journey not only led me to intuitive eating, but to the healthiest and happiest version of myself. That's why I started Wholesome Chick Nutrition - so my team and I can help people ditch dieting and food guilt for good and finally feel at home in your body.
Hi, I'm Kate regan cecco!

how we help
Nutrition counseling that meets you where you are
What to Expect
A supportive, collaborative experience from day one
step 1: apply to work with us
step 2: Get Matched with your dietitian
Step 3: assessment & ongoing support
Once we receive your application, we will check your insurance benefits and send you a confirmation of coverage or reach out to schedule a discovery call if you aren't using insurance.
You can expect to hear from us within 24 to 48 hours via email or text message (and we can't wait to meet you!)
We'll carefully match you with the dietitian on our team who is the best fit for your unique goals, health history and preferences.
Each of our weight inclusive dietitians has their own areas of specialty and style of practice so you can work with a true expert.
During our first session we'll get to know you -- your lifestyle, current eating patterns and preferences, goals and values, and of course your health priorities. We want to understand the big picture.
Follow-up sessions will focus on revamping your nutritiion knowledge with a non-diet lens, troubleshooting challenges, and tackling long-held beliefs about your food, body and worth. We're a team.
Weight is not a behavior, it's an outcome of many factors that include genetics, social determinants of health, food access and knowledge, movement, and mental and emotional well-being (to name a few). Instead of focusing on the number on the scale, we focus on behaviors that reliably promote health, no matter what.
We'll work with you to support:
- Eating consistently and adequately
- Honoring hunger and fullness cues
- Improving nutrition knowledge
- Managing medical conditions
- Reducing stress around food
- Finding a movement routine that sticks
Health is more than a number on the scale.

"one of the best decisions I've ever made."
"Honestly, it was more than just a food thing with her. Sure I learned lots about how each macro benefits me, what a meal might look like, etc. but it was the inner work of body image and fatphobia and loss of control that she helped me with the most! It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I gained a recovery network, spontaneous date nights, freedom and flexibility, a new perspective and so so so much more."
"Kate creates a compassionate environment."
"Kate creates a compassionate environment where I am able to learn factual information about nutrition while exploring my own - often emotional - relationship with food and related issues. Finding the right provider is essential for this process to work, and I’m so glad I found Kate! I really appreciate her holistic approach, and I have made a great amount of progress towards a more positive relationship with food. "

"I feel safe enough to explore my own flawed relationship with food and my body."
"Talking to Kate feels like the one time in my week where I feel safe enough to explore my own flawed relationship with food and my body, which I neglected for so long. She has taught me so much, not only about nutrition itself, but also about the circuitous route to recovery, and how stepping out of my comfort zone is just as important as learning to forgive myself."
"Her work is grounded in trusting your body and showing it gratitude while prioritizing health."
"Kate is PHENOMENAL! I have learned so much from working with her. Her approach to nourishment is very sustainable and doable. She makes food fun and vibrant! She makes you feel comfortable with wherever you are on your journey. Her work is grounded in trusting your body and showing it gratitude while prioritizing health. She is kind and patient. I truly stand behind her work and would recommend her to anyone. "

"I finally learned how to listen to my body and find happiness in everything I do."
"I learned that I should never restrict food from my life. It’s there to fuel me, to keep me alive and energized, and most of all, it’s there to satisfy me and make me feel good. After I understood the groundwork of food freedom, I learned how to love myself. A step that I ignored for most of my life. I'm never going back to dieting again. I’m so happy with the way I view food and myself and life now. Food doesn’t control my thoughts anymore."

"I feel a sense of freedom around food. "
"I have gained a better understanding of what healthy is and how to honor my body that has gotten me through the good and bad days. Since starting this program, I feel a sense of freedom around food. I’m not constantly comparing what I’m eating to others or asking myself “is it bad if I eat this?” Working with Kate has really changed my perspective and I don’t have a desire to diet again."
