Gratitude is one of my highest values and there is nothing that I’m more grateful for than the people I work with. They fill my day’s with joy, discovery, wisdom and growth – they allow me to do the work that makes my heart sing. My husband always says I have the best job in the world as it allows me to make a difference in so many lives and he’s right. 
 
I share these client acknowledgements as a way to shine a light on what coaching has done for others and maybe your heart desires some of the same things… 
When I met Cassi, I was a success on paper. But inside, I was exhausted and lost – detached from my soul by layers of perfecting, pleasing, and performing. I didn’t know what I wanted. I just knew I longed for something I could feel but not name. And as a “head” person, this just didn’t compute. So, I conjured up respectable coaching goals and rational action plans that showcased my skillful mental gymnastics. But damn her, Cassi wasn’t having it. With love and levity, she cut through my head BS straight to my heart. Through our work together, I learned to hear and trust the guidance of my inner wisdom. Cassi coaxed my true essence out of the shadows, and onto the stage where it can shine its light (gulp). And she peeled off the layers and reunited me with my soul in what feels like a homing and re-birth all in one. My inner scientist says Cassi is a coach of exceptional skill and mastery. My inner wild woman says she is a soul whisper and modern-day Oracle. I’ve learned they’re both right.

Cassi has been instrumental in my growth personally and professionally. Over the decade I’ve worked with her, she’s helped me to become a better man, leader, and professional through our coaching sessions. Her ability to facilitate thoughtful conversation and actionable commitments often left me thinking about our conversations for weeks after.  The best part is she is not just a listening ear...but a committed partner to make measurable progress. She is available, responsive and acutely intuitive based on her deep experience in the field of coaching.  I have worked with dozens of coaches in my work and professional life, and Cassi continues to be one of the most impactful as her words are ever present during my most significant challenges and greatest successes. Hindsight gives us the wisdom of being removed from the moment, and I can say that Cassi’s coaching has always empowered and driven me towards my best self!

Cassi is a truly transformational coach! Her coaching helped me through some incredibly challenging life and career situations to help me gain the confidence I needed to set boundaries, make decisions and take actions to achieve my life changing ambitions. She supported, challenged, and cheered me on in exactly the right way, exactly when I needed it most. I consider Cassi to be one of my strongest confidants, peers, and a loving friend. I am eternally grateful that the universe brought me to Cassi so that I could experience her insights, empathy, and masterful coaching.

I’ve partnered with Cassi since 2019, and she has helped me transform my life specific to my leadership capacity, coaching abilities, and the joy I experience in the day to day.  Our work together began as I was getting my certification to become a leadership coach and quickly expanded to influence every aspect of my life.   Cassi is the perfect mixture of empathy, compassion, and support along with a strong dose of the practical and business focus.  Working with Cassi was one of the best decision’s I’ve ever made.

Cassi is truly an extraordinary coach. I began working with her as I was making a major transition with my career and personal life. She supported me through the process by encouraging me to step out of my fears. She helped me learn to trust my instincts and allow for ease. Not only is Cassi amazing to work with during major transitions, she is also a tremendous support for the day to day. Cassi creates a safe space in every coaching conversation. She encourages exploration and reminds me that I always have choice. Cassi has a unique and special energy that she brings to her coaching style, creating an immense sense of trust. I am so grateful to have Cassi's support as I continue to evolve in my journey.

I hired Cassi as my mentor coach in late 2011, and our connection was instantaneous. Over the years, she's become a significant person in my life as coach, professional mentor, and source of encouragement.  Cassi has coached me through some difficult decisions and experiences with such grace. Her strengths lie in her abundance of love, her ability to bring lightness into even the darkest of situations, and her sharp intuition.  I'm so blessed to have Cassi as my coach and highly recommend her to others.
-Christina Zini
I first came to Cassi when I was looking for support in determining a new direction for my life and career.  I’ve continued my relationship with Cassi for over 10 years now, and though I have left corporate, I continue to rely on her unconditional support and regard for my journey.  If necessary, I would gladly give up many luxuries in order to continue my coaching relationship as it’s that important. I am so grateful.

Cassi will help you gain clarity on so many aspects of your life both personally and professionally. She has a unique ability to hone in on what you need, exactly at the time you need it.  Whether it’s getting clear on your values, figuring out what to do next and why, or talking through a specific situation, she can assist.  A perfect balance of head and heart working alongside you as your journey unfolds. Cassi will ask the right (sometimes difficult) questions even when you don’t expect them or want them but she challenges you to be the best you inside and out!

Working with Cassi has led me to create roles in my life that I never dreamed I could play.  Her inquisitive and supportive coaching has helped me to see possibilities, uncover needed changes and define who I want to be to feel whole.  She is exactly who I wanted as a coach when I searched for someone with corporate experience, wisdom about life and a seasoned coaching practice.    
-Susan Kendrick
I interviewed Cassi to be my mentor coach and knew immediately she was the one I wanted to help me find the creative power within: a power I had not truly tapped until I started coaching with her.  While my main focus with Cassi has been managing my tendency to take on too much, every session has been an adventure in its own right.  Topics range from work-life issues, challenges of being a coach, developing future leaders, organizational culture, business planning, and even quantum physics, among hundreds of others, all of which she handles with grace, light, and the awesomeness she is.  Every session is energizing and eye-opening, keeping me on track to realize my goal of having more energy, freedom, and connection in my work-life.  No matter what I bring to our sessions, she is always ready with the right question or message that shifts my thinking toward new insights and new actions.  The joy of journey and discovery that is the highlight of our time together inspires me to keep working and showing up to be the best I can be in everything I do.

If you’re on this page, it’s safe to assume that there’s something big going on in your life, right?  Either something is off and you don’t know what it is; or you do know what it is and it scares the hell out of you to think about diving into it further by yourself.  Or, there’s a grand dame desire buried deep in your heart that is yearning to get out into the fresh air!  You may be wondering if coaching can help and you’re considering working with Cassi.  Well, let me say this:  Call her.  Hire her.  And watch your life – both personally and professionally – deepen with a richness and verve you may have only previously dreamed of and hoped for.  Lofty words?  Yes, but true nonetheless. 
 
It is a profound blessing to know and work with Cassi.  She gets business and the demands it brings, especially as a female leader and mother.  She is also finely attuned to the flow of life and love, and is masterful in helping high-achieving, phenomenal women like us align with that flow to take our lives to a higher level. 
 
Through her insightful coaching and provocative questions, she has helped me own (not find) myself and show up in ways that are an authentic expression of me.  With her coaching, I’ve become crystal clear on my needs, my values and the essence of why I am here.  And she's helped me craft/tap into intuitive and strategic plans for what to do next.  As a result, we’ve both watched with delight in how much more amazing life has become for me, both personally and professionally.  I kid you not when I say that my world has opened up with joy and abundance.  Cassi’s coaching has been an instrumental part of this journey for me.  She has my fullest recommendation.
