About

Hi there! I’m Cassandra, a movement scientist and health advocate.

Enneagram 1 (most days), nature-lover who lives for a good dinner party, lover of everything chic and quaint, and serving others.

ONCE UPON A TIME

I was a massage therapist living my dream- working for myself, helping others. It was fantastic. And then... the pandemic hit. 

Being shut down made me realize two scenarios had been playing on repeat:
1) My clients were only coming to me when they were in pain (meaning they were using massage therapy more like traditional medicine), and
2) I was seeing the same clients, for the same reasons.

It finally dawned on me that as great as this work (and really, alternative medicine in general) could be, it ultimately created clients who were dependent on me. 

So hopeful, so helpful... or so I thought

Then I finally found my purpose- teaching others how they can find relief on their own.

Repeat appointments are EXPENSIVE.
And take precious TIME AWAY from family.
Both are a burden I want to eliminate!
Now, I get to use my training in:

Right: my life now, helping you online.

Massage Therapy (LMT)
Stretching Facilitation (CSF)
Rossiter (Cl1R)
Corrective Movement (CES)
Exercise Science (B.S.-Exercise Science)

to teach you how to get rid of your pain on your own, without ever having to leave your house!

The pandemic showed me that this training is desperately needed. Offering a virtual program that incorporates all of my knowledge has been so warmly received, and eagerly applied. And it's making a huge difference in the lives of those willing to learn!

More

Life as a massage therapist began with my graduation from the Academy of Natural Therapy.

Began to incorporate more stretching education into my massage practice, and saw HUGE improvements in my clients. 

Finished my Bachelor's program at UNC (Colorado) in Exercise Science, and got to learn so many wonderful things about injury prevention, and movement health maintenance!

Took a dive on the ski slope that led to surgery, crutches for 12 weeks, and PT 3x/wk for 6 weeks.

2018

Corrective Exercise Specialist training finished, and RETrain officially launched!

Became a Certified Stretching Facilitator (meaning I can match the right type of stretching to each person) so I could begin my own self-guided recovery.

Covid Shutdown + Level 1 Rossiter training (gained a better understanding of how restriction in the connective tissue limits movement, and how muscle recruitment is tied together).

Began noticing other breakdown happening in my body (all tied to compensations patterns I learned doing PT).
