"Working with Cynthia has been one of the most important tools for me as I continue to reveal my purpose and apply it to career goals. She's helped to me to formulate items and characteristics that matter most to me. Our sessions are very well focused and productive. Whenever, I may start going off track, Cynthia is able to bring the conversation back on track. Based on our work, I have already developed concrete ideas and strategies to further my career goals. Actually, in spite of how well out of college I am, this is the first time I've ever formalized career goals of any kind. Working with Cynthia has made that possible."

"I have worked with Cynthia Sumner and found it to be a truly enriching experience. I had never considered a Life Coach before I met Cynthia and why? Because in general I feel like, "Hey, life is pretty good!" But I thought I would give it a try and focus on getting my art to the next level. With Cynthia's guidance, she enabled me to visualize possibilities with my art that I had never thought of, helped me gain confidence in dealing with galleries and peers, and led me to see things from different perspectives all while holding space for me to make it happen. As an artist herself, Cynthia knows the struggles that artists go through and I truly feel that my time with her helped me and continues to help me in my art practice."

"When I started working with Cynthia I felt like I had too many spinning plates in the air. She helped me identify where I was wasting energy and running on fear as I expanded my business. Our work together grounded me and allowed me to focus on one thing at a time so that I actually got some of my many goals accomplished. Cynthia's calm but firm coaching was just what I needed to make sense of the chaos in my mind. I feel more able to prioritize and take action now after spending time with Cynthia. She is kind, intelligent and insightful and has a way of gently showing you the important truth you've been trying to evade. If you have an opportunity to do some coaching with her I say "go for it", the results are well worth the investment."

"Cynthia is truly gifted. I have experienced powerful coaching with Cynthia, resulting in new, inspiring perspectives and awareness. A pure, warm heart and such a gentle spirit that can artfully slice through walls of deception on the client's side so to unwrap the brilliance that you knew you had, but had not been able to vocalize. Cynthia's gift is that she finds your key to your true nature and holds it for you in all safety and confidence in you. A fabulous coach!
