Cynthia had been to rehab, but fell back into occasional drinking and was stuck in a very unhealthy and stressful loop of drinking and quitting. One day she had an "ah-ha" moment. She likes to call it her” nerdy moment of enlightenment”. In short, She was reading about some research in self-compassion and it quite literally changed her life on the spot. She was able to start practicing self-compassion, set a sober date, stick to it and she’s never looked back.

Today Cynthia is an international speaker, author, researcher, and founder of InnerAlly, a company building tools, courses and mobile apps to improve mental wellness. She has extensive experience in learning and behavior change and has been developing mental health technologies since 2009. Her background in pharmacology and neuroscience help her create programs and products for effective health behavior change.

Cynthia is on a mission to tell people about the power of self-compassion to support their recovery and to help prevent relapse.
