Hi, I’m Cindy

Coaching has been some of the most transformational work I’ve ever done – both as a coach and as a client.

it takes courage

I’ll never forget looking back at a video taken of me just before I worked with my first coach. Oh. Wow. It was such an illuminating “Before” and “After.” The best way I can describe the “Before” is that I was living in the shadows as a watered down version of myself. And “After,” I was filled with so much peace, playfulness, freedom, and aliveness.

Now, I’m seeing clients experience their own Before and After, and I think it’s some of the most rewarding work I’ve ever done.

Coaching is a unique kind of conversation – different than the ones we typically have with friends or family. I was drawn to it because my natural inclination is to dig deep. I like to ask thoughtful questions and help clients unearth their own answers.

My approach is to create a trustworthy, comfortable partnership so we can take a real look together at what’s been getting in the way of your juiciest life. Attaining it sometimes requires getting reacquainted with forgotten parts of ourselves; sometimes it takes growing in new ways. Having been there myself, I know this kind of personal work takes courage.

I am credentialed by the International Coaching Federation and certified by Accomplishment Coaching. The values that I bring to my coaching practice are ones that I practice in the rest of life. I seek to honor diversity, create accessibility, build equity, and believe in possibility.

UNCOVERING POTENTIAL

I developed my professional skills during my Masters in Social Work from UNC-Chapel Hill and subsequent training with Accomplishment Coaching. 

Around and between my schooling, I’ve had a super-fun variety of career experiences. Highlights include:

  • Child Development Coordinator at World Relief Rwanda

  • Consultant and Trainer at WE-ACTx HIV Clinic Rwanda

  • Family Advocate and Community Advisor at Shamrock Gardens Elementary

  • HIV Social Worker at Carolinas Medical Center (now Atrium Health)

  • Account Manager and New Hire Trainer at Procter & Gamble

getting personal

If a friend wants to go out to dinner, they don’t have to ask me twice. I love eating at local restaurants, especially my favorite Vietnamese spot and anywhere that serves authentic tacos. I also enjoy reading, coffee, travel, and listening to music.

I am wildly crazy about my family, which includes my husband Scott, our two children Cade and Jesse, and our dog Wrigley.

Charlotte, NC is my home, but I also spent years in Chicago, Boston, and in the beautiful East African country of Rwanda. I love our near-downtown community where the houses are tight and the neighbors are too. When I need a retreat, the NC mountains are somewhere between heaven and home for me.
