Kind words and experiences shared by clients of Balanced Life Therapy.

★★★★★

The women’s worthy group was an experience that every woman should experience. Cindy and Dee are smart, compassionate and so open and non-judgemental. It was life changing to be a part of the 10 week journey with them and the other gals who joined.

After joining Cindy’s women empowerment series, I was able to focus more clearly on the things that mattered in my life and how to motivate myself to move towards my goals. During the 8 weeks series, I met a wonderful group of women who had all life struggles of various kinds. All of us were united in the fact that we knew we could be living more confidently and authentically. Each week we worked through barriers and negative mental patterns that were holding us in dark places. We could see the patterns in each other which allowed us to hold the mirror to ourselves and have ah ha! moments about our own patterns. The group of women were all unique and brought a different perspective. What a powerful experience.
