What Others Say About Cynthia
“I have sent many good friends to Cynthia and this is what I tell them. There is something special about Cynthia. She can help people to break through to a place that many counselors and coaches are afraid to go. Because she goes to that place with love – the person who comes to her feels safe enough to go there with her. Because of that combination, the person who comes to her is not afraid to bring out their worst demons -and that leads to healing.”

“In working with Cynthia in trying to relieve the stress of caring for a brother who is often in a mental health crisis, I went from a state of overwhelm to acceptance and a deeper understanding of myself and my brother.”
Jake, Teacher
“Sometimes the thought of needing a counselor can be overwhelming and hard to accept, especially if it’s something you’ve never had to do. As a young couple we were reluctant to accept the fact that we needed to open up and talk to a stranger about our most personal problems. I found Cynthia simply by searching “Couples Counselors” on Google and calling the first ten that popped up. Cynthia was the first one to return my call and we were able to start our sessions together almost immediately. The first hour long session we had was spent introducing ourselves, and explaining the biggest problems and struggles of our relationship. She was extremely respectful and it was clear that she cared about our love for one another and wanted to give us the knowledge needed to make things work. She did just that, with every session giving us power we needed to strengthen every aspect of our relationship, and exercises to continue practicing communication, honesty, and trust. We give Cynthia a massive amount of credit for saving our relationship, and will be forever thankful for the time she gave us.”

“Working with the Center for Inner Peace, my wife and I were able to find Cynthia Luma. Our work with her has enriched our lives and helped us grow and mature together. She is intuitive and insightful. She also has a beautiful way of shaping other people’s perspectives so they can be easily understood in times of discord or conflict. Our experience of working with Cynthia has been priceless and more rewarding than I could have imagined.”

Tom H. Mechanic
“We were struggling as a couple and decided to try couple’s counseling with Cynthia. Over a period of time we realized how much we really loved each other and decided to experiment with the strategies being offered to turn things around. We are both glad we did! Our relationship is very satisfying and currently when we get stuck we have confidence that we can work it out.”
Michelle and Peter, Life Partners
“When I began working with Cynthia, my life was seriously out of balance. I was so busy climbing the ladder of success that I was neglecting my relationship with my wife and my marriage was in trouble. As part of the coaching, I looked at my satisfaction level of different areas of my life. I realized just how much I was sacrificing for my career. Cynthia’s thought-provoking questions and ongoing support allowed me to create a bigger, better and more balanced life for myself. My relationship with my wife became so much stronger and I am a happy man!”
Tom, Business Owner
“My husband and I made an appointment to see Cynthia for couples counseling with great ambivalence. We were arguing a lot and kind of forgot why we ever got together in the first place. Part of the work was easy because Cynthia has a gentle non-judgmental way. But part of it was hard as we faced the part that each of us was playing to keep the conflict going. I can tell you, in retrospect, that all of it was worth it!”
Katherine, Teacher
“Although I initially began coaching because I wanted help with some career decisions, I found so much more than that. The experience of working with Cynthia brought clarity about my career aspirations but also brought additional meaning to my life as a whole.”
Jonas, Artist and Designer
“I was home caring for 4 children, feeling overwhelmed and isolated. When I met Cynthia I felt hope for the first time. Through our sessions, I connected to more and more of myself. I was able to powerfully connect with my inner self and developed resources connecting me to the world beyond the home and nursery. I feel like she saved my life!”
Mary, Homemaker and Parent
‘Being with Cynthia is like hanging out with Mother Earth. In my work with her, I felt grounded and nurtured. She provided an unconditionally nurturing space in which I was able to find greater balance and to make better choices.’
Karyn, Entrepreneur
“Cynthia was awesome. She was attentive, sweet and caring. She helped me understand some patterns in my behavior that were leading to undesirable results and guide me through being more compassionate with myself in the times I make mistakes. I thoroughly enjoyed all of my sessions with her and will be always grateful for the time we spent together. Highly recommended.”
Nathalie, Business woman
“I am very impressed with Cynthia’s approach to the life coaching process. Although I wasn‘t in good health at the time of our coaching, I felt that I was constantly moving forward, albeit a little at a time. Our conversations were always constructive and encouraging and she asked the ‘right’ questions for me each time.
I found the experience positive and uplifting, and I made enormous progress in a very short period. I would thoroughly recommend Cynthia Luma as a caring, intelligent and effective Life Coach.”
Carolynn, Australia
“We were fighting over so many things when we went to see Cynthia that we had almost forgotten why we got together in the first place. With Cynthia’s help we both looked at our early training in our families, learned to identify our triggers and together found a way to slow down and appreciate each other again. It’s hard work to change. Each of us expected the other one to make the changes. However, over time, we began to understand the process and something wonderful did indeed happen!”
Carole and Maura, Life Partners

“Having you as a mentor has really transformed my approach to handling stress & deadlines. You’ve definitely helped me re-program my mind & I’m much more alert & focused these days. I am not intimidated at all, like I was before, when it comes to the Master’s exam.
A lot of that has to do with your sessions.”
