Favorite Quote:
“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.” — Cynthia Occelli
A coach with M2 since 2017, Casey brings consistency, compassion, and deep expertise to every client she supports. With a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education (Exercise Science concentration) from Old Dominion University, a minor in Sports Management, and certifications in hormone health, metabolism, and gut biology, she blends science with heart in everything she does.
Casey’s coaching philosophy is rooted in long-term growth, not short-term extremes. Whether you’re a high-performing athlete, a busy parent, or someone trying to repair their relationship with food, Casey meets you where you are, offering practical strategies, emotional support, and the accountability to make real change stick.
For Casey, the most rewarding part of coaching is watching clients rediscover their confidence, improve their mental health, and reach milestones they once thought were out of reach.
“The opportunity to be a part of someone's journey to better health, providing support and education, and watching them grow, is what makes this work so meaningful.”
Outside of coaching, Casey is a mom, a former Division I field hockey player, and the wife of a firefighter. Having lived the demands of shift work and unpredictable schedules by her husband’s side, she knows firsthand how to navigate nutrition, performance, and wellness in real life, not just on paper. She enjoys moving her body in many ways, especially CrossFit classes and long bike rides. When it’s time to slow down, you’ll find her curled up with her husband, kids, and two pups, cheering on Notre Dame football (a lifelong tradition), proudly rooting for the Washington Commanders, or watching nearly every Phillies game.

Strategies for Unpacking the "What-if's" in your Nutrition Journey
One of the biggest concerns that clients have around consistency is what to do when they can’t control their meals fully. “What do I do when I’m not 100% in control of the food I’m going to eat? What if I’m not cooking it? What if I can’t use my scale? What if I’m at a restaurant, work dinner, baby shower, picnic, etc.” These ‘what if’s’ can often become bottlenecks to finding consistency. We'll talk through some strategies to employ to find consistency even when you’re not 100% in control of the food you’re eating. We’ll also tackle two important things: understanding your goals and personal nutrition journey and the role of perfectionism and mindset in achieving your goals.

Getting 8 hours of sleep each night can be tough. How do you quiet the noise of the day so that you can get to sleep and stay asleep? Barring any hormonal issues, a great place to start is developing a “Power Down Routine.”
