Online coaching and therapeutic support for survivors,
In-home decluttering and boundaries coaching (Boulder, CO. area)
Welcome!
I’m Dr. Cynthia Garner
Writer | Therapist | Cycle-Breaker | Mindful Leadership Speaker & Boundaries Coach
Somatic therapy, stress reduction, trauma-sensitive mindfulness, and boundaries coaching for survivors, leaders, and change-makers.
I give people the skills they need to…
Interrupt
Interrupt cycles of burnout, anxiety, toxic stress, and emotional violence so they can connect with what truly matters
Investigate
Identify self-limiting beliefs, habits of mind, core patterns, and protective strategies that are keeping them stuck
Restore
Build self-trust, embodied confidence, attentional control, agency, and equanimity so they can rewrite their stories of belonging
Repair
Create boundaries, skills, and practices that enhance wellbeing, improve relationships, impact communities, and ripple healing across generations.
It is my passion to empower leaders, change-makers, and creative thinkers with mental fitness trainings and therapeutic support so they can disrupt oppressive systems and interrupt cycles of abuse. As a therapist, teacher, coach, single-mother, and survivor of complex relational trauma, I am unwilling to be silent about the urgent need for widespread mental fitness training across the lifespan.
In my work with educational leadership, therapists, change-makers, and survivors. I’ve learned that systemic wellbeing and a culture of belonging depend upon those in decision-making roles reclaiming their attention and prioritizing their own mental health. When leaders regulate and understand the impact of trauma, their commitment to wellbeing ripples outward into their circle of care. We cannot heal a broken world without first healing our relationship to ourselves. To make a real difference, we must start within ourselves.
Give yourself and your community the gifts of focused attention, embodied awareness, and strong boundaries that protect, nourish, and inspire. You can be a force for collective healing, right now, by committing to your own mental fitness and to systemic wellbeing.
What I offer:
Workplace Wellness Workshops, Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness Trainings, & Responsive Group Facilitation
Through workshops, talks, and writing, I help individuals and communities reconnect with the body’s intelligence and recover their inner authority. These experiences blend mindfulness, creative process, and nervous system wisdom to cultivate belonging, emotional regulation, and authentic expression.
1:1 Therapeutic Support & Online Coaching for Soul-Led Women in Leadership and Decision-Making Roles

Together we create space for truth to emerge, helping you move through old patterns into a life grounded in presence, purpose, and embodied wisdom. My work carries the energy of ferocity and tenderness, inviting depth, aliveness, and genuine healing.
Narrative Consulting & Mindful Brand Storytelling
I help you hold a large vision and communicate it with clarity, authenticity, and purpose. My intuitive and empathic approach reveals the core patterns, beliefs, and strategies that shape your creative process and influence how others experience your work. Together, we refine your message so it resonates deeply, aligns with your values, and reaches the people you are meant to serve.
