"Cynthia gave me my life back. Not that I didn't have a life, it just wasn't a fun life. Probably the most positive and compassionate pain coach out there! I didn't recognize myself after learning my "Pain-Free Formula". Cynthia taught me how to practice self-care and take time for daily mindfulness so I could enjoy the life I deserve after 10+ years of chronic back pain.
Thanks for everything!"

"I've been working with her for the past 2 months and her program is AMAZING. It narrowed down my pain-point issue and I've made amazing strides in changing how chronic pain affects my life. I feel like I can do something about it and lessen the pain and even strengthen the belief that I can overcome it! She is very affordable. She is an angel. Truly. Thank you Cynthia Austin!!!"
Rebbeca Wertz from Colorado, August 4, 2023
"I recommend Cindy to anyone looking for a pain management partner.
She balances education, empathy, and jointly developed goal setting to make you feel like you're not facing your pain alone. I felt each session was well designed - a good balance of structured learning with enough flexibility to accommodate spontaneous topics / introspection. Over the course of our sessions, we discussed various tools / strategies and ran experiments together while monitoring their effectiveness.
I feel more confident and capable after having Cindy as my pain coach and I understand my pain a whole lot better, which amounts to a net reduction in pain and a better quality of life for me. Cindy was a pleasure to work with and I always found her accessible despite my busy work schedule and the different time zones. Highly recommend!"
