Holistic Nutrition with Cassie

A delicious path to wellness…

As a plant-based chef* (embracing all eating preferences—from vegans to carnivores and everyone in between!) with a big appetite for wholesome, locally grown, delicious food, Cassie has spent many years exploring the connection between food, well-being, community, and the planet. From co-owning Pomegranate Café—an indulgently healthy eatery and neighborhood favorite—to working as a holistic private chef, creating a wellness education curriculum, and teaching hands-on cooking classes for children of all ages and abilities, Cassie is a passionate advocate for the healing power of whole foods.

As your holistic nutrition coach, Cassie blends the principles of holistic nutrition with culinary creativity to help you make nourishing, mindful, and joyful food choices that align with your unique health goals and values. Whether you want to enhance overall wellness, manage specific health conditions, or deepen your relationship with food, Cassie will support you with compassion and expertise. She offers personalized coaching, nutritional guidance, delicious recipes, and practical culinary tools and resources to help you build a foundation for wellness that lasts a lifetime.

While I emphasize a plant-centered approach, you don’t need to be vegan or plant-based to work with me. I do not focus on food restriction, fad diets, calorie counting, or anything that makes you feel bad about your food choices.  Wherever you are on your health journey, I am here to support you.
