Joyful Movement.

Lasting Support.

Whole-Self Care.

Hi, I’m Cindy Appanaitis, MAT

Movement Mentor & Whole-Wellness Guide

I help people create joyful, compassionate relationships with movement—so they feel grounded, confident, and empowered in their lives.

With a background in movement science, education, and whole-person wellness, I guide you in building a sustainable practice that fits your body and your life.

As your Movement Mentor, I’m here to support you in feeling strong, empowered, and truly at home in your body.

This isn’t about reps, dread, or rigid routines. It’s about returning to your body with care—and creating something that genuinely supports you.

You belong here ♡

"Be Empowered has changed my life. Cindy helped me get back to moving in a way that feels good for my body. She’s supportive, motivating, and always helps me listen to my body. I’ve never felt stronger or more confident!" — S.W.

I Believe Wellness Starts from Within—And Grows Through Connection, Compassion, and Curiosity.

Values That Guide My Work:

  • You already have the answers inside you.
    My role is to help you listen to your body’s wisdom and trust what you hear.

  • We are connected & need each other.
    With openness, encouragement, and a willingness to see things in new ways, we help each other access what’s already within—unlocking new insight, strength, and possibility.

  • You are met exactly where you are.
    There's no need to perform or push—this is a space of acceptance and care.

  • Creative perspectives open new possibilities.
    Movement and wellness aren’t one-size-fits-all—they’re dynamic, evolving, and deeply personal.

  • Encouragement is the heartbeat of change.
    When we feel stuck, the right support helps us see our progress in new ways—unlocking the insight and momentum needed to keep moving forward and build trust in ourselves.

My Approach to Wellness

Wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about building a compassionate, sustainable relationship with your body. Whether you’re starting fresh, returning after a break, or refining your practice, we’ll create something deeply personal, supportive, and joyful.

There are no rigid routines here. Instead, we focus on real-life, whole-self care rooted in self-compassion, curiosity, and acceptance. Movement becomes a tool for connection—with your body, your mind, and the world around you.

This is movement that meets you exactly where you are—and grows with you.

“Be Empowered has been the most important thing I have ever done personally for myself. —A.J.
