Find your juju, change your life

Dreaming big together
As a writing and creativity coach, I work with two different kinds of people: those who are struggling with a specific writing goal, like writing a book, a thriving ongoing blog, or articles for publication; and those who want to foster more creativity, passion, and zestiness in their lives as a full-on lifestyle change.
With all my clients, I work hard to understand what kind of coach they really need. Some need challenges in order to feel motivated; others need comfort and sympathy to get through the hard parts of making a big life change. My clients love me because they know I understand just what they need, and I’ll make sure they get it every time we work together.
We’ll create that custom-tailored dynamic from the moment we start to work together. First, though, I need to know what you’re hoping to get by working with me. Which of these sounds like your biggest ambition for your life right now?
“Cynthia helped me reconnect to my writing.”
“I approached Cynthia at a time when my creative energy had dipped. I had invested so much into my business and supporting other writers that I had lost enthusiasm for my own writing project. During out time together, I began making real creative connections again, rediscovering my love of books, of gardens, of singing, of art. She supported me as I moved from one literary agent to another and helped me to refocus my energies back to my own novel. Now that novel is nearly complete and I am in the process of redesigning my business.
I have started sketching again and am planning to go to art classes. I cannot recommend Cynthia highly enough. I did so appreciate our coaching and my renewed energy for my creative work has continued since our coaching. Cynthia is inspiring and empathetic and has a wonderful ability to know just how to get you back in your creative flow; to find the joy of it again.”

“Business is booming”
“Cynthia, because of your encouragement and guidance, I’m watching my book go through the final production stages. It’s a reality! I hired you as a writing coach, but you’ve been so much more. You’ve coached me through personal challenges as well. I’m always motivated after I talk with you. Because of that, business is booming and I feel like I know myself much better than before I hired you.
Your coaching is invaluable to anyone who wants to get things done and needs accountability. Thank you.”

“Made a Powerful Career Shift”
“I had numerous reasons for seeking a life coach but a primary focus was a big career change. After 22 years as an advertising executive I sought something more meaningful and less stressful which would allow me time to discover my true passions and my soul’s purpose. The results from coaching were immediate. I left my corporate job and found work that allowed me to use my talents and have time for what is important to me. I gained a clear idea of my values and an innate trust in my path that made the career shift seamless. I am more present in each moment, which makes my entire life more balanced and full of joy. Coaching with Cynthia has been a gift that I will have with me always.”

“Launched a new business and got two book deals”
I came to Cynthia for coaching because I felt S-T-U-C-K. I was miserable practicing law but I couldn’t see my way out. Working with Cynthia was like opening a door that had been locked with chains and bars for several years. We let in all this fresh air and sunshine and suddenly there were possibilities that seemed exciting and real. I recommend working with Cynthia because she works with you wherever you are. On those days when you’re riding your bike, the wind is blowing in your hair, and you’re coasting toward your grand vision, she’s on a bike next to you taking in the sights and cheering you on. When you’ve fallen off the bike and you’re wondering whose dumb idea this change was, she’s right there with the antiseptic and bandages, helping you get past the tears and see the glorious vista that’s still right in front of you. With Cynthia’s help, I left the practice of law, started my own venture, and now have two book deals. Who can’t use a partner like that?!

“A book inside me trying to get out”
“I didn’t know how to make the book happen on my own. Cynthia has a way of seeing into the heart of an author and gently opening a crack so that the ideas and feelings can leap out into the sun. She gently coaxes but advocates with passion. Cynthia believes in my work when I forget why I’m writing. She offers a structure for writing that helps me create something tangible. Using her as an editor during the process helped clarity that I was headed in the right direction with my writing. Her voice is an invitation to write and I find myself following it with curiosity and joy.”
