Who am I

Hi, I’m Cass.

I coach nutrition for people who want to feel better in their body, and for athletes who need their food to hold up under a training load. Wellness is achievable for everyone. I’m here to guide you and hold you accountable!

Hello! I’m Cassandra (aka Big Dawg aka Combat Cass). I’m a muay thai and mma fighter, love to run, play basketball, and go for hikes. I got into nutrition because of my difficult relationship with food and wellness when I was younger. Becoming a fighter actually helped me heal my relationship with food and nutrition since fuel was not only important but a necessity to feel and perform to the best of my ability. I want to help others do the same!

My story

Cass years earlier, before she changed her nutrition

I’m passionate about nutrition because it changed my life. I used to be 200 lbs — but it wasn’t about the weight, it was about how it made me feel. I was lethargic, unhealthy, and not confident in myself. I also was lost in a binge and purge eating disorder cycle.

Years later, I finally found balance. It took work and consistency, but I’m proud of where it got me. I got my nutrition locked in, started focusing on whole foods and intuitive eating, and it changed my life. Becoming a fighter helped too, because I started focusing on what my body can DO, not just what it looks like, although it all came together. Now, I want to help others do the same.

How I coach

No shame

Food is not a moral test. You will never get a lecture from me about a birthday cake or a bad week.

Built around your life

Your job, your training schedule, your budget, and the food you like. The plan bends to those, not the other way around.

Habits that outlast me

The goal is a client who eventually does not need a coach. Small changes you keep beat perfect weeks you abandon.

I am not a dietitian and I am not a doctor. I do not diagnose, treat, or write nutrition protocols for medical conditions. If your goal needs a clinician, I will tell you on our first call and help you find one. Everything I do sits inside the scope of a certified nutrition coach, and I keep it there on purpose.
