JT is the owner of a successful growing business, and experiences overwhelming demands on her time and energy. Like many executives, she struggles to find balance between her health and work performance. “I only have a certain amount of energy...so the question becomes how do I take care of myself?” she says. “Many coaches are either too specialized or too broad; Cindi provides the knowledge of a physician and the wisdom of a business coach in one package, making her skilled at assessing my challenges from every perspective. She provides specific, concise recommendations and resources helping me take tangible action. It would take several different specialists to get what Cindi can provide.”

As a busy entrepreneur and owner of a public relations firm, my health often took a back seat to my clients. Working in three cities in the Carolinas keeps me on the road a lot, and doing damage control, managing press conferences and acting as spokesperson for my clients can be stressful at times. It took a heart attack at age 41 for my health and wellness to become my No. 1 priority in life. But it was hard to make the lifestyle changes necessary to feel energized, reduce my health risks, eat healthy and learn new ways to relax.
By working with an executive wellness coach, Dr. Cynthia Ackrill, I was able to quit smoking, lose weight and become a better athlete. Dr. Ackrill helped me to envision a healthier, more balanced life, making a strategic plan aligning my actions and choices with my values and long-term objectives by setting clear, achievable goals. She provided me with the accountability, expertise and support to feel more motivated to begin a new path that already has improved my quality of life and hopefully will increase my longevity.
