Kathleen Ricciardi

Kathleen’s journey into functional/integrative/holistic nutrition began when she struggled with her own IBS, acne, reflux, eye migraines. Experiencing firsthand how food influences the body, energy, confidence and overall well-being, Kathleen became passionate about helping others navigate their own health journeys—without the overwhelm or confusion.

With specialization in Medical Nutrition Therapy for digestive health, Kathleen works with women experiencing digestive distress, most commonly bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, Crohn's, Colitis. Whether addressing chronic symptoms or optimizing wellness for longevity, Kathleen provides practical, personalized strategies to create real, lasting change.

Beyond traditional nutrition, Kathleen has a deep passion for gut and digestive health because of her own struggles. She loves seeing the improvements in women's quality of life, because getting your life back and breaking free from the frustration is invaluable to your overall wellbeing.

At the heart of Kathleen’s approach is the belief that nutrition should be freeing, not restrictive. She practices with a holistic/functional/root cause philosophy, helping every client uncover their unique path to feeling vibrant, energized, and in control of their health—without rigid rules or fear around food.

Kathleen earned a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Marywood University and a Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from Arcadia University. She holds specialty certifications in anti-inflammatory eating, functional nutrition. At the moment, she is working towards a women's health specialist certification.

When not working with clients, Kathleen enjoys being outdoors, yoga, hiking, spending time with family, traveling, reading, researching, and can often be found experimenting with recipes in the kitchen.
