“Welcome to the cornerstone of Cynthasis. I’m delighted to share my teaching, learning and experiences with you. As I reflect on the river of life with all its twists and turns, I’ve discovered the great offerings nature has for us.”
– Cynthia Schwartzberg
My story begins with a love of teaching and helping others, from playing school as a child to tutoring friends and assisting those with physical impairments in swimming. I began college as a math major but quickly realized I wanted to work with people, not just numbers, and shifted my focus to psychology at American University. After stepping away to work in advertising and public relations, which gave me valuable business and marketing skills, I returned with a clearer sense of purpose. I immersed myself in personal growth, spiritual teachings, and training in practices such as meditation, Reiki, Core Energetics, Mariel Healing, and B.R.E.T.H. work. These explorations laid the foundation for a lifelong journey of healing, creativity, and authenticity.
In the midst of my personal and professional evolution, I earned a Master’s in Social Work from New York University, became faculty at the Institute of Core Energetics, and began teaching internationally. These years were a time of great movement, growth, and discovery. I co-founded Core Energetics South and later founded the Southeast Brainspotting Institute, expanding access to innovative training and healing in the Southeast.
My experiences have taught me the power of empathy, compassion, and bearing witness with deep attunement. Dance, yoga (I completed a 200-hour certification), and somatic training have infused my work with creativity and embodiment, while my studies with Shamans have brought in ancient wisdom. These influences, together with neuroscience and mindfulness, inspired me to develop Harmonic Brain Healing™, an integrative approach that helps people release old patterns and reconnect with authenticity.
Today, I continue to pursue my passion for therapy, teaching, and mentoring through Cynthasis, both online and in-person. I have a psychotherapy and consultation practice in Atlanta, Georgia. I also offer training and classes for both professionals and individuals seeking growth. My book, The Curious Voyage to Authenticity, has become the foundation for online group classes, where participants explore its tools in a community setting. I balance my work with a joyful personal life shared with my partner, family, and friends. I love hiking, biking, kayaking, traveling, and dancing.
