I hired Casi as a mobility consultant for Deconstructing Zouk, a month long dance program in an effort to bridge the gap between dance and fitness. In her segments, she overdelivered in her preparation and execution of the programming, going above and beyond what I had asked for and showed me new things she could share. The students loved her flow, succinct explanations, and engaging demeanor. She clearly put a lot of thought and planning into the event. I would personally trust her in whatever she decided to put her heart to, whether it is nutrition or personal coaching. 5/5 read more

Cannot recommend enough! I needed nutritional advice for a complex knee procedure involving two surgeries over a year. Cassandra was able to provide a program that ensured my nutritional needs were met while maintaining weight leading up to the second surgery. After the final surgery, my recovery began and food programming was perfect! She cares deeply about the success of her clients and the amount of research she puts into your issue is incredible. read more

Worked with Casi for the 12 week whole wellness program and have only good things to say about her! I had so many weird ideas about food and health before and this program taught me about what my body actually needs. In addition to rehabbing several injuries, I've been able to recomp and add on some muscle while maintaining weight. Also progressed from 2 pull-ups to 7! Casi did a great job of tailoring her program towards my specific fitness needs (in my case, heavy lifting). Her whole-health approach to nutrition and fitness was really helpful to built long-term habits that I've been able to maintain after the end of the program. I cannot recommend Casi highly enough. read more

I went to Cassandra review my diet and nutritional needs after spending months feeling completely drained (like everyone else working from home due to COVID). She made a few recommendations for tweaks to my diet and supplements to balance out some of the medication I am on and within just three weeks I have noticed a huge improvement on my energy levels and overall mood! And major bonus - I've tried every hair product under the sun and it was still stringy and greasy, now it's so healthy and soft! Thank you Cassandra! read more

I have really enjoyed working with Cassandra. I was blessed to be able to complete "The Four Week Practice" and in that month I grew a lot. I have learned so much about setting realistic goals. It was such a hurdle to get started in improving my exercising and eating and Cassandra was able to give guidance that made all of that easy. I appreciated the small and intimate group setting to be able to share some pieces of the journey with others as well. Cassandra is patient, kind, encouraging as well as very knowledgeable! I highly recommend her services! read more

The 4 week practice group-based gratitude and mindfulness techniques really helped me create a positive relationship with food. I also had a phenomenally-detailed individual nutrition consultation with Cassandra to review my health goals and current medications. She analyzed all of my medicine-nutrient interactions, and recommend some supplements that will help support my body during a few current health concerns that came up on my bloodwork. Everything she presented to me was incredibly detailed, and she broke everything down so I could understand it. She also gave me clear achievable dietary advice that is easy to implement and will help my body heal. read more

Since my gym has been closed (Covid), I had to trouble figuring out a whole new at-home workout plan. I reached out to Cassandra to help solve this whole workout at home problem and she's been instrumental in getting me back in gear. At the beginning, we did a full overview of any injuries, current goals, and watched me move in a few different ways. Once she had all the data, she recommended a plan of action. We started out light with a few workouts/week, then ramped up as I got better with the prescribed exercises. Cassandra uses a nice feedback app that sends workout videos/instructions that also lets me mark completed workouts. She sees the progress and responds to comments and questions online and quickly. I've been training with Cassandra for about 6ish months and I and have been very pleased with the results. She's been a huge help in helping me re-frame my at home workouts while keeping me accountable. I'm pretty sure I keep training with her even after covid. Highly recommend! read more

Cassandra has helped me significantly improve my life. At 40, I'm more fit and mobile than I've ever been, and my body has never looked better! Her combination of encouragement and technical support is awesome. read more

I cannot say enough about Cassandra's 3 month program. I was hesitant at first because you know, the cost, but for the outcome of how I feel now, I would've paid 3x as much! First of all, her intake forms and first meeting are beyond thorough. She really takes the time to get to know you, your goals, your struggles, and asks interesting questions I've never been asked by another healthcare professional. Next, she breaks down goals in ways that I wouldn't have thought of, she makes it seem easy and achievable. She provided me meal plans and recipes with shopping lists for multiple weeks, and made sure I was excited about food throughout the whole process. By the end of the third month I had lost weight, was sleeping better, felt more confident about meal prepping and feeding myself, and didn't have negative and guilty feelings about food like I did before. I even sent her messages while I was grocery shopping and she helped me choose between different tortillas, salad dressings, and breads! It was amazing. I'm on a path to be a healthier, happier person, and the first step was ABSOLUTELY working with Cassandra. If you're on the fence, just do it!! read more

I will forever sing Cassandra's praises for how she has helped me through the ups and downs of this past year. I initially contacted her after losing a loved one and wanting to do something good for myself. Along with being an expert nutritionist and personal trainer, she is genuinely a good person. She listened to me talk about my grief and helped me turn a corner in the process of emotional and physical healing. With her coaching, I reached a personal record of being physically stronger than I had ever been... and then I suffered injury after injury and surgery after surgery. Throughout everything I've gone through, she's worked with me and accommodated a movement and nutrition plan for the seasons of my life. When I broke a bone in my foot, she made me upper body and core work outs. When my arm was in a cast, we made lower body movement plans. She is the master of balancing flexibility and accountability with her clients. Cassandra will stick with you through the storms of life and help you get up and moving when you're ready. I recommend Cassandra and her training to everyone and anyone who wants to make a positive change in their life. read more
