Hey there! I’m Cynthia

founder & intuitive guide
of Intuitive Essentials.

As your personal Energy Alchemist, Dog Trainer, and Human Design Strategist, I provide empowering tools and resources to support you in realigning your life – personally and professionally.

I courageously beat stage 3 triple negative breast cancer after a successful, year-long journey to wellness, utilizing the tools in my chest that I now share with you & yours.

I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, worked full-time to earn a BA in psychology from Dartmouth college, and later earned an MBA from Georgetown University while also working full-time.

Through the years…

I’ve navigated a myriad of challenges including leaving a 20-year relationship after being married for 13 of those years – overweight, lost, depressed and later learning I had PTSD.

I ran 5 marathons and about 30 half marathons over a 2-year period, traveling all over the country to work through my ‘ish.

Using not always so healthy coping mechanisms, I lost 50lbs and unloaded a lot of trauma baggage from childhood domestic violence to sexual abuse throughout life –

sparking my desire to assist you and others on your journeys.

During chemotherapy,

I exited the corporate world after more than 30 years of working in a variety of industries utilizing my market research expertise, with a brief detour as a financial controller.
