A Spiritual Family

She was blessed to have been born into a spiritual family where the tarot was done after dinner! Both grandmothers were healers and mystics, and Cassandra’s Mom identified her daughter’s gifts when she enrolled her at the Calasanctius School for the Gifted and Talented. Her major at the accelerated program was religion and mythology.

Bridging Both Worlds

Cassandra attained her social work credentials from Cornell University, and later received a Master’s degree from Syracuse University. The thread in her education was her studies in astrology and metaphysics. After studies in religion at McMaster University, Cassandra became a non-denominational minister through the Sanctuary of the Beloved. To round out her desire to heal, she became a New York State licensed massage therapist, thereby linking all three venues of healing for mind, body and spirit.

When Cassandra began her astrological consulting work in 1987 she built upon her counseling training and her religious and mythological background. The results were immediate and overwhelming, and she was able to work full-time in her chosen field as an astrologer. Always a believer in continuous study, she studied with the late, great Buzz Myers and was inspired by him to offer monthly New Moon classes since 1996. She presents at SOTA (State of the Art in Astrology), is a member of AFAN, NCGR and ISAR, and has a special interest in the Sabian Symbols.

Cassandra weaves all her tools and decades of experience when she works with a client. Her purpose is to offer healing words for self-awareness and empowerment. Her natural intuition and logical training merge to offer incredible insight and awareness for others, as a consultant and as a teacher.

Dedication to the WNY Community

Cassandra has been a mainstay in the WNY spiritual and healing community for decades. She teaches at Fellowships of the Spirit, the Lily Dale Assembly, the Chautauqua Institution, the major spiritual centers and several local colleges. She ran a college massage program for ten years and was the first in New York State to teach Reiki to college nursing and massage students. She is a frequent guest lecturer to business, civic and community groups, and for fun offers history and ghost tours of the area. A special interest is the spirituality of the Roycroft Community and the message of its founder, Elbert Hubbard; she serves as a docent for the Roycroft Campus Corporation.

Cassandra is a founding member of the Spirit Way Project and the Church of the Divine Grace, a non-denominational church for healing and spiritual grounding. Every Wednesday she shares the cosmic weather live on Cosmic Connections with the Cosmic Intelligence Agency.

Juggling her many healing interests has been challenging, exhilarating and exciting. But at the heart of Cassandra’s life have been her children, Ariel and Adam. They are also her best teachers of spiritual healing!
