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.
