  • Movement is not about reps & dread. It’s about tuning into your body in motion; to free your mind, release feelings & connect with your best self. Movement that brings joy is unique to the individual; for one it may be yoga & for another it may be burpees. Find what connects you to the best parts of yourself; your confidence, clarity & compassion.

  • Mindset is grounded in a strong sense of self, free of judgment, criticism & blame, and enhanced through curiosity, wonder & care. It is about acceptance for who/where you are at now and a belief in your abilities for getting where you want to be.

  • By actively engaging in development & practice for whole wellness, you will enhance relationships, increase confidence, communicate more effectively & maximize connections in all aspects of your life.

Philosophy

Whole Wellness takes continual investment in yourself through coaching, movement & community.

  • Coaching

    As your coach, I will hold space & ask questions that help you to tune out the noise & tune into yourself, so you have the clarity & confidence to live the life you desire.

  • Movement

    Movement is a portal to all the parts of your whole wellness; mental emotional, spiritual & physical. It’s about finding movement that brings you joy, confidence & peace of mind.

  • Community

    Learning and unlearning in a caring community with others deepens discovery, expands awareness & helps us get creative about doing better & trusting ourselves.

Wondering if Be Empowered is a fit for you?

  • Now more than ever, educators are faced with innumerable demands, challenges, initiatives and calls for innovation. Be Empowered offers time, space and tools to address these both personally and professionally, positioning you to show up as your best self to do your best work. Educator Wellbeing increases fulfillment, balance, energy and drive.

    “It’s very easy to push aside personal concerns during the school year and I couldn’t keep assuming things would magically improve. This made me look deeper into myself and gave me the time and support to explore where my anxiety comes from. I also gained some concrete skills to look at stressors more objectively along with thinking about my response to those stressors.”

  • Are you a new parent navigating the day-to-day challenges of balancing schedules, relationships and responsibilities? Or are you entering a new phase of parent/child relationship? Be Empowered offers guidance and practices that payback in dividends of fulfillment, clarity and balance in your life and relationships.

    “How we show up in the spaces in our lives is critical to the environment we create for ourselves and others. These workshops have really helped to foster personal ownership, open heartedness, and a sense of empowerment in everyday things. This is such a generous and caring investment in yourself, and by default, others.”

  • You may be facing transition in your life, or a teen seeking balance in your body/mind/spirit, or simply feeling a lack of fulfillment and purpose. By tuning into thoughts, feelings, beliefs and practices, you will discover methods of operating for optimizing balance and fulfillment in your day-to-day life.

    “This is so important and will help shape your choices and behavior in a positive mental state that will surround you with positive impact. It is always giving. The sessions are a small part of the process. There is so much to take away from the experience and it can be applied to all aspects of your life.”

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

Cindy has provided unflagging positive support, leadership, and incredible organization throughout. As a result, lives have been changed. She clearly has a skill set, vision, and disposition that is a perfect match for starting and growing programs like this.” —W.B.

About Me!

Hi, I’m Cindy Appanaitis (Babcock). When I was introduced to personal development & coaching work in 2017, I immediately fell in love with the concepts and connected to its mission. What I first noticed was the significant impact it had on all areas of my life; it made me more engaged as a teacher, mother, wife, friend, and daughter! I knew then that I wanted to learn this work in a capacity to teach it. What I love most about the courses and workshops are the communities that build and continue their connection outside of the course-room. The common language of empowerment and love sets the foundation for the work and extends out to supporting and encouraging each other through continual growth.

I have been a high school teacher since 2007, teaching Physical Education, Health, and Child Development. I specialize in studio P.E. courses focused on empowerment, confidence, relationship with self, and class community. What I love most about working with my students is the community of trust and acceptance for self and others that builds over the duration of the class. It invites opportunities to take risks in discovering ways of joyful expression and the opportunity of supporting one another through this.

Being born into a family of 8 children, I thrive in community and find great joy in connecting others with theirs. I strive to build communities that empower people to have the confidence to shine just as they are and develop relationships that evoke trust, love, and acceptance.

My husband and I are blessed with 2 young girls. My family keeps me honest in this work as we learn together, hold each other accountable, and support each other through our growth. We love to laugh and play together. My family lights up my world!

Be Empowered is a way to bridge these passions and share them beyond the classroom walls in frameworks to nourish whole wellness in an environment that invites each person to “come as they are” to “be who they are”. Empowering them connect with and radiate in their brilliance.

I have a Master of Art in Teaching, Physical Education, Health Education and Human Development & Family Services. I have taught in the classroom since 2007.

I am certified as a coach through Your Infinite Life Coaching & Training Company with Pam Dunn. My six-month intensive certification program and ongoing learning includes facilitated courses & workshop series, independent work, supplemental reading and study, and one-on-one & group coaching. I have been learning with the program since 2016 and was certified in 2020.

I am certified as a Yin 96 Yoga Teacher through Original Hot Yoga Academy with Ida Ripley and Aaron Thomas.
