Cassie is an intuitive eating Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and former dieter. Growing up she succumbed to the allure of fad diets only to discover that they are not sustainable, practical or healthy! Her goal is to help clients rebuild a healthy relationship with food by eliminating the ideology of "good" and "bad" foods, and helping them identify the distinction between health and weight loss. Cassie takes an integrative and functional approach to nutrition, treating it as just one piece of the much larger puzzle that is optimum health.

I understand that life can become quite hectic, making it challenging to prioritize your health and wellbeing. If you find yourself in need of assistance in achieving your health goals, managing your meal times, or fueling your busy lifestyle, I am here to offer my expertise. Working with me comes with several benefits, including motivational interviewing, personalized meal plans, and a comprehensive understanding of how nutrition impacts our bodies.

My approach is centered on finding balance and nourishing the body in a way that is sustainable, rather than promoting restriction. I consider the emotional, cultural, and spiritual importance of food in people's lives when offering guidance. Good health looks different for everyone, so rather than striving for an unattainable standard, let's work together to challenge distorted beliefs about food and establish healthy habits that support overall well-being.

I work with women miserable from pain, bloat and fatigue who want to get up in the morning feeling energized, have a flat stomach, and know what she eats will not have her looking for the nearest bathroom. Do you suffer from diarrhea/constipation, IBS, brain fog, chronic fatigue, depression/anxiety and/or autoimmune disease and has your doctor told you you just have 'live with it’ because all tests came back normal? The good news? You can banish bloat, clear brain fog, feel energized and reduce pain. How? By testing for food sensitivities and/or finding out if your GI tract is out of balance.

90% of health conditions and diseases can be prevented by proper nutrition and lifestyle modifications. Not only does management and prevention of chronic health conditions improve the quality and satisfaction of living, but it also adds years and saves money later in life. The sooner you take the steps to a healthier life, the sooner you’ll feel better, happier, more energized, and more confident about your appearance. I’m here to help you set the foundation for a more fulfilling life you can enjoy with family and friends in years to come!

Clients who seek to work with Amy have often pursued other avenues of nutrition management, including diets, traditional meal plans, and other healthcare professionals as a means to meet their goals. Frequently, Amy provides a more in-depth examination of external tools, and encourages clients to inquire within and challenge themselves to view their food and their relationship with the body and self differently. In our current health climate, Amy also sees a number of clients who seek to address gastrointestinal conditions and autoimmune issues that interfere with feeding themselves and promote or encourage disordered eating.

I work with clients who have been struggling with chronic digestive problems and the conventional health care model has been unable to help them. Many of the clients I work with have removed the majority (if not all) of their favorite foods from their diet due to these chronic digestive problems. I guide clients on how to expand their diet and improve tolerance to foods again to get their quality of life back! In addition to digestive problems, I work with clients who lack awareness on how to meet their nutritional needs on a plant-based diet and also offer personalized grocery shopping tours.
