When I first heard Cynthia speak over ten years ago I knew I was seeing and hearing an undeniable truth. Here was a genuine human being whose personal journey of recovery required her to tap into her own unique Indigene and find the right path of the heart. This is a woman who has learnt to hunt and gather the right soul food for fuelling her journey. I believe Cynthia’s work ‘Emotional Fitness’ has much to offer to members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community who are seeking more tools and a roadtested map to healing. Gallan Goorringen!

Cynthia’s presentation had the girls mesmerised for the two hours and full of positive comments afterwards. You had such strong messages and such an effective way of delivering them. I feel it was a very important part of their education as they set off from school. We have booked her in advance for next years Schoolies week preparation.
