I am Casandra (Cas), a proud member of the Seminole and Dine' tribes. My strength is drawn from my ancestors and my late sister, guiding me to live a life infused with integrity and purpose. My journey has been shaped by the humanness of my sister who had cerebral palsy and the strength of my ancestors who survived trauma and loss, these influences in my life drive me towards continuous growth and an unwavering commitment to impact the state of wellness in Indigenous communities. With 22 years of experience as an Indigenous prevention expert, ICWA specialist, and healing professional, I am dedicated to serving Indigenous communities. My expertise allows me to create thought provoking presentations and meaningful wellness programs that resonate deeply. Let’s collaborate to uplift our communities—get to know my work and reach out!
