After an impressive 27 years in leadership positions serving as a Director within a major Financial Institution she bravely chose to step away from chronic illness and burnout. The messagebecame undeniable when she temporarily lost her vision in one eye and her voice for multiple years.“For too long I stayed in spaces that dimmed my light – relationships, environments, and a career misaligned with who I was becoming” Cindy explains Healing began when I cleared my space, moved my body daily and worked with a Somatic Practitioner.Today Cindy has come full circle, showcasing the physical and emotional transformation that can come with a perfectly curated fitness plan and the support of friends and family including her two boys who she loves to move with daily. Because her healthy history has a reverence for the power of rest,and above all listening to her body. As she says, strength comes from alignment.In December of 2025, Cindy launched her own business, Soul State Wellness Inc. Emerging from her own healing journey she now walks a new path with steadiness and capacity bodied by a regulated nervous system and a renewed sense of purpose. Through her work she hopes to inspire others to discover that same harmony within themselves.My advice to others is to learn about your own Nervous System, she recommends.
