Maximize Your Impact with Mindful Action, Fierce Boundaries, and Trauma-Sensitive Practices for Collective Healing

You’re in the right place. You belong here. Welcome.

For the Warriors of Change

My coaching practice is built for professionals, activists, and creative healers like you—brilliant, driven individuals committed to speaking out, supporting others, and challenging broken systems. If you feel tired, heartbroken, terrified, or stuck, it makes sense. These are divisive times, and the world feels like it’s on fire. You’re in the thick of a battle for hearts and minds, and if you’re here, it means you’re a warrior.

Thank you for the work you do. I see you.

Here’s the truth: I know it’s demoralizing. It can feel hopeless. Systems are collapsing. The earth is weeping. You’re holding space for so much grief, rage, and betrayal while people seem to need more help than ever.

But what if your exhaustion, pain, and anxiety aren’t the problem? What if they are actually the keys to unleashing fierce creativity, empowerment, widespread transformation, and collective healing? ❤️‍🩹🌟

You’re not here for another self-help slogan or a quick fix. You’re looking for:

  • Actionable Tools: Research-backed, secular practices that work in the moment to help you navigate systemic challenges, difficult relationships, and life’s messiest transitions.

  • Customized Somatic Exercises: Techniques to channel anger, tune into your body’s wisdom, regulate yourself and others in moments of distress, and transform frustration into engaged action for meaningful change.

  • Stress Management Skills: Practical, personalized strategies to promote health and wellbeing, seamlessly integrated into your daily routine. These tools don’t just benefit you—they can be shared in the classroom, boardroom, or bedroom.

  • Responsive, Holistic Support: Choose a pathway that aligns with your needs, whether it’s deep, transformative work with the full range of human experience or a more training-focused approach.

You’re here because you want to make a difference—and you need the tools and support to keep going. Let’s work together to transform pain into power and frustration into action, so you can continue your vital work with clarity, resilience, and hope. 🌟

I’m Cynthia Garner—a trauma-sensitive coach, somatic psychotherapist, author, and mindfulness educator. With a Doctorate in Bodymind Health, an MFA in creative nonfiction, and experience as a classroom educator and school leadership consultant, I specialize in equipping healing professionals, educators, disruptors, and activists with the tools they need to navigate transitions, heal trauma, and challenge systems of oppression.

I know how demoralizing it can feel—because I’ve been there. I’ve faced crippling anxiety, debilitating physical pain, addiction, divorce, and relational violence. I’ve experienced the overwhelming transitions and the challenge of breaking free from toxic systems. The skills I teach helped me survive those times, and it’s my fierce belief that these very same skills are what we so desperately need to survive and thrive in these divisive times.

I refuse to stay silent when I witness harm, and I won’t be complacent in the face of social injustice or divisive politics. But I also won’t let hate, blame, shame, rage, or fear consume me. Instead, I’ve learned how to transform pain into purpose and anger into fuel for meaningful action—and I want to help you do the same.

Let’s embrace this journey together. Schedule an exploratory session to find the rest you need, transform frustration into focus, and step into the resilient leadership within you. 🌟

Together, we’ll craft a supportive, transformative plan tailored to help you reclaim your clarity, purpose, and power while fostering resilience and meaningful impact.

  • Nourish and Regulate: Cultivate calm, regulate your nervous system, and sustain your wellbeing with trauma-sensitive practices designed for professionals in high-pressure roles.

  • Strategize and Take Action: Map out your path to empowerment, navigate transitions with conviction, and make intentional choices that align with your values and goals.

  • Build Resilience: Master evidence-based tools, body-based interventions, and the proven FIERCE method to confidently face uncertainty and lead with strength.

  • Unlock Your Potential: Harness your anger as a catalyst for meaningful change, free yourself from limiting beliefs, and reconnect with your authentic, creative expression.

  • Master Your Response: Develop practical techniques to reduce anxiety, interrupt cycles of harm, and hack your fight/flight/freeze response to foster healing for yourself and others.

This is more than coaching—it’s a partnership grounded in care, expertise, and a shared commitment to transforming systems, relationships, and lives. Let’s create meaningful change together. 🌟
