Cassandra Sampson MS, RD, LDN, MIEP is a Registered Dietitian, Licensed Nutritionist, and a Mindful & Instinctive Eating Practitioner. After recovering from a personal battle with binge eating disorder, Cassandra has dedicated her career to teaching the art of mindful and instinctive eating.

Cassandra is a dynamic force in the field of health and wellness. Since 2013, Cassandra has worked alongside hundreds of clients on their personal journeys toward making peace with food. Each nutrition service is rooted in the principles of mindful and instinctive eating, which is a judgment-free eating technique that ultimately reduces health risks by preventing disordered eating patterns and psychological distress. Cassandra’s role as a dietitian has shifted from handing out meal plans to helping others heal their relationship with food.
