Cindy has several years of Travel and Organization experience, as well as a passion for helping others. She brings a calm and supportive approach to both areas, this coming from her 7 years of training as a Licensed Massage Therapist and teaching meditation. She is a Georgia native (or as she likes to say, "happened to be born in the right place") and resides here with her family and her many farm animals on their mini-homestead.
As a Travel Specialist, Cindy uses her adventures around the world to serve as inspiration. She wants others to experience what she believes is the "perfect recipe" for a memorable travel experience: going to the right place for you, having unique experiences, within a budget you feel good about. She believes you don't have to break the bank to see the world, and have an amazing time while doing it!
As an Organization Specialist, Cindy has a unique "laid back" approach. She feels strongly that being organized doesn't mean everything has to be exact and in place. Clutter and disorganization can cause feelings of being overwhelmed and frustrated. Her goal for every project is to help you overcome those feelings and create a space that is both functional and inspirational. In other words, it makes you feel happy!
