“Be Empowered has changed my life. When I met Cindy, I was newly pregnant and looking to revamp (or rather, revive) my workout routine, and Cindy helped me make modifications to make sure the workouts were inclusive and safe for me. Five years later and I haven’t looked back once. Cindy motivates me every day to work hard, have fun, and most importantly, listen to my body’s needs for each day. I appreciate the mindfulness and self-love involved in my fitness routine that Be Empowered has given me. I have never felt so strong and confident in my body. This program is truly a one-of-a-kind treasure that I’m so happy I stumbled upon - the Be Empowered community truly can't be beat!” - S.W.
Philosophy
Wellness That Meets You Where You Are
At Be Empowered, we understand that every person is unique, and wellness is personal. Whether you want to feel more confident in your body, manage stress more effectively, or build a mindset that supports your goals, we’ll meet you exactly where you are on your journey.
Together, we’ll explore what lights you up, unlock your true potential and create a wellness routine that works for you.
Movement - Joyful Movement, Not a Chore
Movement isn’t about reps or dread; it’s about feeling connected to your body and freeing your mind. Whether it's yoga, burpees, or walking, joyful movement is personal to you. It’s about building confidence, clarity, and compassion— connecting with a strong sense of self.
Mindset - Building Lasting Change
A strong mindset is key to lasting transformation. It's founded on self-acceptance, free of judgment, and nurtured by curiosity and care. Embracing who you are, right now, unlocks your potential and empowers you to reach your goals confidently.

“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.”

You may be experiencing a life transition, seeking balance in your body, mind, and spirit, or feeling a lack of fulfillment and purpose. By tuning into your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and practices, you can discover ways to optimize balance and fulfillment in your daily life. Prioritizing these aspects of wellness—such as mindfulness, physical activity, or creative expression—will help you cultivate a deeper sense of purpose, ultimately enhancing your overall quality of 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.”
