Testimonials

Genuine & Authentic

“Cindy is very invested in her work as a life coach but she’s also takes a highly vested interest in her clients. Her interactions with her clients are genuine and authentic and she radiates positivity. She helped instill in me a stronger belief in myself and helped to reveal qualities about myself I hadn’t previously identified. What I especially enjoyed about working with Cindy was the exercise she had me complete about identifying my core values. Prior to working with Cindy I had never really thought to contemplate ‘what are my core values?’ but she showed me that understanding your core values serves as a blueprint for how you proceed with goals in life whether it be personally or professionally. The work I did with Cindy was very transformative and eye opening and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a passionate and motivating life coach.”

Deep Listening Skills

“Cindy is a master at empowering and supporting young adults in transition. From our first session together she dove in and provided me with the most non-judgmental, compassionate life coaching support I could ask for. At a time I needed it most, Cindy inspired me to follow my own intuition and through her real empathy and deep listening skills helped me catalyze much needed change in my life. I owe where I am at today to her support. I highly recommend her service to anyone looking for a creative, fun transition or life-coach.”

Extremely Supportive

“I worked with Cindy at Kaiser Permanente as a coach of the Weight management program and I wholeheartedly value her for her outstanding leadership and coaching I witnessed during that time. Cindy truly possesses a remarkable ability to support and inspire her team and everyone around her.

She was always open to new ideas, extremely supportive and culturally sensitive and aware of my needs as a foreigner intern.

Cindy’s mastery in coaching was evident both when working with individual participants and leading larger groups. She is a compassionate and giving person and at the same time driven about delivering the best results, which to me is a rare balance to find in a leader and coach.

I am grateful to have been part of her team and the profound impact and growth I got from my experience with her.

A Wonderful Coach

“Cindy was an absolutely wonderful coach. I was coached by her for about 3 months and in that time I had grown so much. During our sessions I would have many jaw dropping times where I felt as though I was being unraveled and discovering parts of myself that I hadn’t known or recognized before. Along with our great sessions, the exercises she had planned for me during the week kept me on task throughout the entire journey. I formed a bond with Cindy, not only was she my coach but she became a confidant that I felt fully comfortable and free to express myself with without judgement. This journey did not just feel like my own, rather Cindy made it feel like it was ours because of her deep compassion and desire to really be there with me every step of the way. On top of that her timeliness, transparency, and organization was so amazing that it made this experience even better to go through. I truly appreciated this journey and the growth/self-discovery that came from it. I am relieved and proud to say that I reached the goals we set in the beginning, and now I walk away as a better version of myself. Thank you Cindy for helping me to discover Me! If you have the chance then I would 100% recommend taking the opportunity to allow Cindy to coach you.”

Above and Beyond

“Over the years, Cindy has become not just a colleague but also a mentor and friend, and worked alongside her at Kaiser Permanente since 2016. Cindy’s expertise in health education and overall life principles has been invaluable to me. She profoundly impacted my life, especially during challenging times when I needed guidance and support. She always went above and beyond to help me navigate my career and school path. At a point in my life, I was feeling lost and unsure about my career path. I had dropped out of my Master’s program and was unsure whether to return to school. That’s when I reached out to Cindy for advice. She went above and beyond to help me, having deep conversations and asking meaningful questions about my passions and goals. She used motivational interviewing techniques to connect with me and even introduced me to a program manager at Kaiser Permanente region who could provide more insights into career paths and schooling. Thanks to her support and guidance, I was able to overcome my fears and reapply to a different Master’s program. And after 2 1/2 years of hard work, I am proud to say that I am graduating in May 2023 with my Master of Healthcare Administration. I will forever cherish those breakthrough moments when Cindy helped me realize my full potential. Her wise advice and compassionate support have been invaluable, and I am forever grateful for her help. Cindy’s enthusiasm and knowledge have been truly inspiring in our one-to-one sessions. She has helped me gain the confidence to reach my full potential, and I do not doubt she can do the same for others. Her approach is one of a kind, and she is always willing to share her expertise and passion to help people in any way she can. I highly recommend Cindy as a mentor and coach. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and understanding, and loves to help people. You can always count on her and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Cindy is truly a breath of fresh air, and I am lucky to have worked with her.”

Cindy is a knowledgeable, innovative, and engaging professional who excels as a presenter, facilitator, leader, coach, and colleague.

Throughout our years of collaboration, and often parallel tracks professionally, I have witnessed Cindy’s exceptional coaching, presentation and facilitation skills firsthand. Her ability to think outside the box and inspire others with creative approaches is commendable. Cindy’s compassion for those around her is evident in her interactions, and she goes above and beyond to support and guide her colleagues. As a presenter and facilitator, she creates an inclusisve environment that encourages active participation and meaningful dialog. She is courageous and fearlessly tackles challenges and embraces change, consistently seeking effective solutions.

Excited for the Future

“Working with Cindy gave me the confidence, motivation and tools to continue moving forward towards my goals. The reflection techniques she used helped me to visualise and pinpoint what was most important to me so that I could find where to direct my energy most wisely. Her constant championing of myself and my process made a major transitional period in my life feel less daunting. Her guidance and support made me excited for the future and I have taken that forward with me after our coaching period. The weeks we worked together helped me establish structure and grounded me while I made some big changes in my personal and professional life. I can’t recommend or thank Cindy enough from her support, encouragement and guidance!”
