"Cindy is an expert on the subject of resilience. She not only teaches it, she has demonstrated it by how she lives her own life. In one day she was able to get everyone attending Thrive: The Keys to Lasting Resilience to clearly see how they deal with change in simple and profound ways. It was fun and engaging. I walked away knowing more about myself then when I arrived. Thank you Cindy for the work you do and the difference you make."

Working with Cindy is an absolute pleasure.  She is warm, kind, supportive, and always sounds genuinely happy to be on the call with me – it’s such a fabulous to start the morning on the days I work with Cindy!  She’s also very good at pointing out limiting language and the moments I get in my own way which is great because she catches things I would never see on my own.  I’ve grown a lot since we started working together, and I’ve been able to push through fears and take on challenges I wouldn’t have been able to overcome on my own.  I’m now building a website I believe in, have taken huge strides in getting over my fear of talking to strangers on the phone, and am now in greater alignment with my authentic self than I could have imagined a few months ago.  And the good news is that it’s only getting better from here.
