grow from the inside out

About Cynde

My work is rooted in a simple intention:
to support meaningful, lasting transformation through mindfulness, presence, and self-discovery.

I come to this work as a lifelong learner and practitioner, with a deep desire to help people live with greater ease, clarity, and connection.

Before stepping fully into this path, I spent 25 years in healthcare and technology—training and leading thousands of people in professional development, communication, and organizational growth. In 2012, I shifted into the transformational space, where I’ve since taught mindfulness, leadership, and personal development to individuals and groups across a wide range of settings.

Today, my work weaves together mindfulness meditation, coaching, and mentoring. I’m especially drawn to supporting people as they navigate stress, life transitions, and the deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and how to live well.

Those I work with often describe me as grounded, compassionate, and practical—someone who meets them where they are while gently supporting meaningful change.

My approach is not about fixing or forcing outcomes.

It’s about cultivating awareness, softening reactivity, and learning to meet life with greater steadiness and care.

I hold certifications in mindfulness, coaching, yoga, and leadership, including:

• Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP, 2021–2023) 
• Mindfulness Mentor Training (MMT, 2023–2024)
  (with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach) 
• 500-Hour Kripalu Yoga Certification (2009) 
• Co-Active® Coach Training (ICF-accredited, 2015) 
• ICF Certified Coach 
• Extended DISC Certified Trainer 

Outside of teaching, I find joy in spending time with my husband, family, and friends—and being outdoors whenever I can.
