I was a highly sensitive and intuitive kid growing up in an abusive household. Thank heavens I had a strong imagination. I remember looking through the encyclopedia (Remember those?), dreaming of the places I’d go. Far, far away from home.

And I did!

I earned my Ph.D. in Education, Linguistics and Anthropology and taught in Asia and throughout the US. The one experience that stuck with me the most was when I helped a Korean Ph.D. student. I edited his dissertation in Theoretical Mathematics to make it logical for an English academic audience. (Yes, it was as hard as it sounds!)

When we got to his very final proof, I asked him if it was really enough. He said “Oh, Cynthia, Truth is always elegant and simple. A lot of complications is lazy and not beautiful and not Truth." I’ve held that in my heart ever since.

When life got complicated and hurtful, I read, studied and explored until I got to elegant and simple. I took classes, studied, and practiced many spiritual teachings - from Buddhism and Sufism to Christian Mysticism and more. I learned about all kinds of healing methods, (see my official bio here), practiced it all for over twenty years, and was always searching for more.

Then I had an epiphany. So much of what I was doing was complicated and far away from our true, pure human experience. It didn't remotely reflect the elegant and simple Pure Divine Energy that is in every cell of our body.

With this realization, I let go of all the complicated theories and belief systems that cluttered up the healing process, and as I let go, my healing work became full of the beautiful energy of Color.  These Colors helped me to neutralize and integrate all my life’s experiences into  who I am today - joyful, open, at peace with myself and others. I’m able to fully embrace all of life - the rocky waters and the smooth sailing, with presence and love. 

I distilled my lifetime of learning, teaching, and healing experiences to be able to guide you with The Color Shift to a life where you can embrace yourself completely, embody your spirit wholly, and live your life fully.

And I’m so happy and excited to share it with you!
