“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.

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, a brisk walk, or high-intensity exercises, 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 positive mindset is at the core of lasting change. By embracing self-acceptance and curiosity, you can confidently pursue your wellness goals and overcome any mental barriers that arise

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 the time, space, and tools to address these issues both personally and professionally, enabling you to show up as your best self in your work. Prioritizing educator wellbeing enhances 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 daily whirlwind of schedules, sleepless nights, and shifting relationships? Or perhaps you’re entering a new phase in your parent-child journey, filled with both excitement and uncertainty? Be Empowered offers you practical guidance and nurturing practices designed to bring clarity and balance to your life. Imagine feeling more fulfilled, with the tools to strengthen your relationships and embrace each moment with confidence and joy.

    “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 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.”
