Vision

Cynthia is the owner and founder of Alternative Body Balancing, LLC. She is an intuitive shamanic, spiritual and energy medicine practitioner who brings a calm, healing presence to every session.

Cynthia holds a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and a Master’s degreee in holistic nutrition. Although well versed in many areas of medicine and nutrition, she does not diagnose or treat illnesses of the body or mind. She does, however, have the ability to “sense,” “see,” and “feel” issues within a person’s bio field. When a person has an imbalance in their energy field, this can result in dis-ease in the physical body. As a Shaman and intuitive healer, Cynthia works on the level of the spirit and soul, not strictly just the energetic body, to bring the body back to balance.

Healing for Mind, Body & Spirit
