My Philosophy of Care
I believe that we are all unique and that the best type of care is one that's inclusive, compassionate and individualized. My goal when working with clients is to provide an open space for them to share their own story where they feel supported and heard. I know that health is complex and I truly believe that with the right support and guidance clients can confidently decide for themselves what health means to them. In using an intuitive eating and HAES® approach my hope is to empower my clients towards a more trusting and accepting relationship with food and their body. Being a HAES® provider means addressing the barriers that may come along with being in a larger body and advocating for my clients to get the care they need and deserve in the healthcare space. Weight stigma is unfortunately still very much present in this world but I'm proud to be a HAES® provider fighting for a different type of world, one where all bodies and marginalized folks receive the same opportunities and access to healthcare.
About Me & My Practice
Regina Pellegrino Nutrition Counseling is an anti-diet and weight inclusive nutrition practice that offers 1-on-1 virtual nutrition counseling. I became interested in nutrition when I was unknowingly dealing with my own disordered eating which I was able to overcome through establishing a healthy relationship with food. As I learned more about intuitive eating and Health at Every Size® I recognized that this is a much larger issue than simply healing an individual's relationship with food; it's a systemic one. In my time as a dietitian for 4+ years I have worked with clients from all different demographics in the virtual counseling space. I owe so much of my expertise in nutrition counseling to all my clients. When not with clients fighting weight stigma and dismantling diet culture, you can find me walking the streets of Philadelphia with my partner and our Shih Tzu mix exploring different restaurants and coffee shops. I'm always on the hunt for the best chocolate croissants!
