About Me

My favorite place is outside, preferably beside a river. I love to hike and take photographs. 

I (try to) practice yoga and meditation daily. It keeps me grounded and has been the most important part of helping connect to my wise and steady center.

Testimonials

I cannot say enough about how working with Cindy has helped me! The tools I have learned through Soul Geography sessions have given me a roadmap for how to handle uncomfortable situations and emotions that may arise on any given day. Cindy has equipped me with tools to manage anxiety, self-worth issues, interpersonal conflict, and task prioritization. Cindy listens and does not bring her own agenda to our sessions. She understands that we are all wired differently and that what may work for one person may not for another. She has helped me to discern ways that work for me, personally, to handle challenges that arise in my everyday life. I am so grateful for the toolbox of resources I have because of my Soul Geography sessions!

I’ve had several coaching sessions with Cindy on challenges I was facing in a relationship and with trusting myself enough to try something new in my life. After each session I left with clear next steps and a better sense of what my goals were for each issue. Cindy is an empathetic and thoughtful coach who listened intently to both what I was saying and not saying and offered valuable insights that helped me tune into myself and how I actually wanted to move forward. Just knowing I can reach out when something else comes up is a comfort. I highly recommend Cindy!

Cindy has helped me work through a number of life challenges which have been plentiful over the last couple of years!  My career took an unplanned shift last year and she helped me unpack all the thoughts and ideas swirling in my head so that I could approach my next steps in a more focused and goal-oriented way, all while also helping me to work through some negative mental blocks that were keeping me very unmotivated to put a lot of effort into my search. In addition, she helped me create tangible steps that prioritize my own needs to establish a better relationship with myself by exploring how my thoughts and actions impact how I treat myself, and in turn how those thoughts and actions impact my other personal relationships. She has a phenomenal ability to drill down into the roots of what I’m expressing and draw out the best solutions for myself when addressing life’s challenges. I come away with much more clarity about what I want in life and action steps that are in alignment with my values. I highly recommend Cindy.  She has been an invaluable resource in helping me make positive life changes and decisions.
