Dynamic, internationally acclaimed public speaker, retreat leader, licensed psychotherapist & published author on loss & hope. In 1971, Cindy was told she would never be able to walk again or to be able to have children after a devastating car accident that killed her father and her family dog. In 1995, Cindy’s brother was viciously murdered, one of the worst atrocities to have ever taken place in the state of Massachusetts. Through her grief and healing, Cindy has experienced extraordinary conversations and signs from the other side, confirming that those who have passed are still with us. Cindy shares these experiences with local and international audiences in the hope that her journey will provide hope and inspiration to others moving through the grieving process. Cindy has spoken all around the world, including Malaysia, China, India, Canada & the US. Abounding with humor, compassion & warmth, Cindy imparts that hopes makes the impossible possible even after loss.
