About

 My name is Cassandra and I am a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach who is also Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition. 

My purpose is to connect with people who want to live their lives free of dependency on prescription medications and those who want to live healthier lifestyles. Let me take a moment to tell you my story and how I got here. 

 I grew up in a family where dysfunction and chaos were the norm and not surprisingly I turned to drugs and alcoholin my teenage years. My addictions took over my life along with many other self-destructive behaviors. My life was on a downward spiral of overdoses, abusive relationships, financial instability, and significant weight gain to say the least. At the time I knew I was not really living but I was not ready to die either. So when I received an unexpected diagnosis I knew something greater than myself was telling me it was time to change my life.

 Like many people, I was using substances to self-medicate for a variety of mental health issues but that was no longer an option for me. I could no longer depend on two bottles of wine a night and my Xanax prescription to get me through life if I wanted to have one.   I began searching for other ways to self-medicate and on this journey learned about diet and lifestyle changes that could help me to cope and heal and get to the root causes versus masking my symptoms. 

  I have been free of addictions for 6 years and counting and in that time felt inspired to go to school to study holistic nutrition. From there I became board-certified in Holistic Nutrition by the National Association of Nutrition Professionals. Concurrently I completed a coaching program that led to becoming a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.

  What my experiences have led me to believe is that the standard American way of dealing with mental and physical health is more about prescribing medications than it is about truly healing.  Among the most common health concerns in the United States today are type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and heart disease. These are lifestyle diseases, so why not treat and prevent them with lifestyle changes instead of drugs with undesirable side effects.

Past clients have come to coaching seeking help with weight loss, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and more. Coaching is a collaborative process that helps clients grow so their lives can bloom and blossom into something more beautiful.  I guide the client in creating the vision of their desired future and help them to connect to powerful intrinsic motivators for change.  The client is then assisted in creating a plan to move them toward the vision. I am an accountability partner to the client, there to help navigate challenges and celebrate all the wins, big and small on the journey to change.
