Testimonials
I was stretched and challenged by the 'Bones' training. Cynthia’s teaching style is humorous and encouraging. Her presentations were very professional yet casual and accessible.
This different type of learning thru physical experience is new for me. I feel awkward and like a child, only not so agile. Upon returning home, I was sitting on the floor with a few women in a small group at home, and each one moaned about their knees hurting when they tried to get up at the end of our session. I stopped myself from struggling to get up along with them, and said," Hey, I just learned how to get up last week." I thought a minute, arranged my feet, rehearsed the spiral mentally, and ROSE up in a spiral to my feet! It was so fun. I take courage from small beginnings and look forward to more revelations.

I greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn with you Cynthia. Your clarity and comfort in teaching is amazing. The work and passion you have put into this process shines through. Ruthy Alon and her work is truly remarkable.
Suzanne Mowery Physical Therapist
I love the program and must tell you that after the workshop a longtime student told me that he'd never seen my posture and walking look so good. Thank you, Cynthia again for your clarity, your vision and your hard work. I look forward to our next segment, to teaching classes and being your mentee.

The feeling Bones for Life awakens in me gives me hope. I have also been using some of the exercises with the little frail COPD people I serve. It is amazing how gentle and effective it can be. As I guide them to pay attention, they notice how much it opens their breath.

Cynthia really brought the group along. She is supportive, taking time to answer question and also helping me to expand my thinking not just giving away the answers. I feel blessed to have had this chance to study with her and excited about the Bones for Life path ahead.

Carol, I love who you are and all that you shared with all of us. You are so present, engaged, passionate and knowledgeable. Your presence shines and for me is an inspiration to teach this work to help others too.
Penny Neu
Carol’s compassion, gentleness, knowledge and awareness were very much appreciated and made the whole experience of learning wonderful! I experienced a new way of myself. Instead of trying to change—fix or let go—I am more curious to experience and see what is already there, allowing my natural intelligence for freedom and alignment to be.
Carol Wirtz
I am so grateful for the time spent with you last weekend! You made it possible for me to be reacquainted with this (almost) 70 year old body in a most gratifying way. Learning did take place in a most gentle, logical order that has given me much optimism about the present and the future. Thank you for your discernment, sharing your expertise so creatively and making a very enjoyable experience: new friendships, new confidence, endless potential!
