Katelyn Cirigliano
Bio
Katelyn Cirigliano’s undergraduate education began at Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY and continued at Wagner College in Staten Island, NY. Katelyn earned her degree at Wagner College in Staten Island, NY for Arts Management with concentrations in music and theater in 2009. Kate spent 10 years in administrative support roles across corporate industries, architecture, design, and music. She refocused on her own health long-term by enrolling in a Pilates and yoga certifications program at The Pilates Center in Boulder, CO. Her movement lifestyle and career inspired the inclusion of nutrition as a profession. Katelyn later opened a studio in NYC in collaboration with a physical therapy practice and gym to provide rehabilitative movement to athletes and mature adults. In addition, she worked at the Center for Movement in NYC and was the Founder of Restorative Pilates serving clients in Manhattan and Staten Island. Most recently, Kate taught Pilates for pre and postpartum women at Springboard Pilates in Portland, ME. After 2020, Katelyn’s teaching offerings became virtual, so she pursued the study of impacts of nutrition on human health. Her additional education and nutrition practice in science courses took place at Southern Maine Community College (SMCC). The biology, chemistry, and nutritional coursework prepared her application for the University of New England’s (UNE) MSAN program. Katelyn has ten years of experience with motivational interviewing (MI) and movement therapies in NJ, NYC and Southern, ME and continues to practice as a student in Maine. Her experience of earning trust and rapport with patients and clients is crucial in her transition from a creative to a clinical field.
As a part of the experiential learning experiences, Kate connected with CV Wellbeing in Gorham, ME with a dietetic team specializing in eating disorders in Southern, ME. CV Wellbeing serves the communities of ME, NH, and MA. Additionally, the design of CV Wellbeing and working with the providers has been concentrated on the role of intuitive eating for quality of life in those patient populations. CV Wellbeing has represented the community experience in the program. Kate has also worked in long-term care at Gorham House in Gorham, ME before transitioning clinical and Food Service learning sites to the hospital setting at AR Gould. Kate’s clinical and Food Service experience at AR Gould in Presque Isle, ME is where the initial renal dietetic experience started and how she began working in their dialysis clinic. Furthermore, Kate has a strong interest in pursuing research and work in the outpatient clinical setting of ED (eating disorder) recovery.
The journey to dietetics has included clinical experience with long-term care, Medical Surgery, Oncology, Rehab, ER and Dialysis in Northern, ME. Kate is interested in working with patients with renal dietetics in the outpatient setting, particularly athletes and patients with CKD 1-3. Concurrent with course studies and experiential learning sites, Kate is the Administrator at Northeast Forensic and Clinical Specialists, Inc and Co-Founder of NouraLife under the direction of the practice’s clinical Psychologist.
Kate resides in Windham, Maine, with her daughter and husband.​
