About Cassandra
Hi, I'm Cassandra (she/her/hers), I have been working as a Dietitian for a little over a year now. I am in New York and have a passion for food and finding a balanced lifestyle; your health should all be about balance and giving yourself grace! I work in Clinical Nutrition Care in which I am able to dabble in many different areas from general health, cardiovascular disease, mental health and utilizing food as medicine-finding the road to healing one's relationship with food. I have past experience working within the Geriatric population and creating enjoyable eating experiences for them while maintaining health first.
Approach to care
I believe in a client driven experience and meeting my clients where they are, and helping to create reasonable goals/achievements. I am invested in spending time to understand your relationship with food/eating habits in order to begin proper care plans. I am HAES aligned, with an intuitive/mindful eating approach to build sustainable habits.
Your first session with Cassandra
During our initial session, you should expect it to be surrounded by you. I am here to get to know you and your nutrition history to provide you with the best care I can, even if it means a bit more questions to get to understand you better. I will often start off with your relationship with food, what a typical day looks like for you, diet history, and setting up goals that seem realistic and attainable for you. I
