About Cassy

Hi, I'm Cassy, a Registered Dietitian based in Memphis. I earned my MS in Nutrition from the University of Memphis and a BS in Nutrition from Mississippi State University. I hold the RD and LD credentials that back up my daily work. Over the last year, I've had the privilege of practicing in clinical and hospital settings and logging 1,300+ hours across Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, VA Medical Center, campus wellness programs, and corporate wellness initiatives. I love cooking, staying active, reading, and spending time with friends, family, and my church community. I'm passionate about helping you find nutrition that fits your life and your joy.

Approach to care

My care philosophy blends evidence with empathy and practical action. I base our plan on current research and proven protocols, always tailoring it to you and your circumstances. I believe in a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach where we meet you where you are, celebrate small wins, and build sustainable habits. My style is direct and hands-on, giving you clear steps and accountability while staying flexible. I embrace a holistic view that considers sleep, stress, and food joys as part of your well-being. Education is at the heart of what I do, empowering you to make informed decisions.

Your first session with Cassy

Our first appointment is a friendly conversation focused on you. We'll review your medical history, discuss daily routines and your relationship with food, and together we'll establish a couple of short-term goals. We'll also look at any lab work or biometrics you've had done and what they mean for your plan. I want you to feel supported, not judged, and I'll guide you with practical steps you can start this week. You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet; together we'll map out a simple path to move toward your goals.
