She has been on hiatus from her own organization since the inception of the Foundation. She believes, "there is a distinct need for providing charitable coaching in our world. Coaching is a real and very viable addition to personal growth and development methods in our ever changing selves and world."

She also co-hosts a special interest group called "The Edge" (a term used in coaching) and has created many successful workshops and has donated The Mommy Factor for charitable use by the organization.

Cyn has survived and flourished throughout her life journey, and like most of us, some of it wasn't pretty but it sure was fun!

Cyn currently resides in Minnesota with her college aged daughter and two marvelous dogs. In her spare time, beyond the passion of her work, her family and friends, she enjoys: traveling to lesser known places, dancing in her kitchen, the wind in her face, sailing, motorcycles, peace and quiet, her and other's art work, cooking, baking, music of any kind, writing books for children and articles for women's magazines and dabbling with the web.

Cyn believes in and knows what the power of one person

self- actualizing can make in the world. She believes it, because she's living it and has personally witnessed it in over 500 clients.
