My Life Coaching Mission
one of my favorite questions.....
"If you can only get ONE message out into the world, what would it be? What do you MOSTwant people to know?"
the answer? Your MESSAGE
the next question... "What is the best way for YOU to get your message out into the world? What method would give you the most joy, the most energy, and might even be FUN?"
the answer? Your VEHICLE (a..k.a your MAGIC!) (it could be painting, speaking, or making cupcakes!)
My message is to respect animals as sentient beings with lives of their own. To love them, not eat, wear, or exploit them. My preferred vehicle? Photography, Art & the Written Word.
My coaching is particulary suited for activists, advocates, and anyone with a strong passion to share their message. I am also a strong advocate of self-compassion and other key tenets of coaching that help us all to be healthier, happier, and thus, more successful.
I have a combination of traditional life coach training, as well as creative coaching through ARTbundance Coaching. Get your feet wet with a complimentary coaching call and if you are part of a group, ask about my workshops.
Choose Love. Always. - Cindi

After attending a Lifes Essential Tools workshop, I was impressed with Cindi Saadi's presentation of theories and practices aimed at enhancing ones personal growth and life experiences. I scheduled an introductory session, examined the potential benefits of coaching and its relationship to my psychotherapy, and was again impressed with Ms. Saadi's broad knowledge and experience base. I contracted for a series of sessions via telephone and set out an ambitious agenda ranging from an investigation and acceptance of alternative world religions, to improvement in interpersonal relationships with my aging parents, to weight loss. While any one of these goals would have proved to be a formidable task, Ms. Saadi balanced research, introspection, and progress for me in all three areas.
Ms. Saadi repeatedly presented new perspectives, suggested readings, and coaxed me out of my personal interpretations to advance my thinking and expression of feelings. She encouraged having an open mind; experimenting with new thoughts and behaviors; identifying and assigning rewards for growth and success; continually examining and evaluating status and goals; and maintaining accountability to myself. Her technique of preparing session summaries and between session emails captured important concepts, progress, and suggestions for improvement. These and the new practice of regularly writing self-acknowledgements were support mechanisms that enhanced the coaching experience.
What did I accomplish, you ask? First, I have a growing appreciation for religious diversity and am in the process of synthesizing a set of beliefs and practices that, at last, fit my heart and soul. Secondly, I have written a Letter to my Parents, that although not delivered, has brought me great relief and release of the fear, anger, pain, and betrayal I experienced at their hands throughout my life. Finally, I am approaching my goal weight and have a renewed appreciation and joy in all things health and fitness including an introduction to yoga, lap-swimming, and natural food choices.
I would definitely recommend anyone contact Ms. Saadi for an exploration of life coaching and see how she can help you.

Cindi Saadi was a huge blessing for me. She got me on the right path so I could follow my dream. She helped me build my confidence and really got me thinking of what I wanted to do with my life. Her suggestions and different ideas really helped me to start to focus and think of different things on my own.
I ended up deciding to go to massage school, which, before Cindi, I would have thought was crazy at my age.
If Cindi had not coached me I probably would not be a licensed massage therapist today. A lot of people need that extra help to really think about what exactly they want to do with their life. An experienced life coach, like Cindi, can help you make changes. It is never too late to change your life and begin doing what you love no matter what your age.
Cindi is a GREAT LIFE COACH. I cant thank her enough for all she did for me. I highly recommend that you contact her today and find the REAL BLISS that is inside of you waiting to come out.

It was no mistake that Cindi ended up being my life coach. I found her card just when I needed it and when I checked out her website, I got the feeling her style was perfect for me. I am happy to say that feeling was right!
When I met Cindi, I had just left a toxic job atmosphere where I felt stagnant. she acknowledged me for moving forward toward my true path and helped me to identify what really makes me come alive in a job. As we set realistic goals, one step at a time, I was able to move toward my overall goal without being paralyzed by fear.
Cindi helped me to appreciate the idea that I am a Renaissance woman and to realize that I can enjoy focusing on more than one of my many interests at a time and still live a balanced life. It also helped that she always had my best interests in mind and that I had her constant moral support. At the same time, I was held accountable for my progress. Long story short, this process led me to a wonderful job in a super positive and creative atmosphere. Im in a job now where I can learn and grow with everyone around me. Its a perfect match for my interests, skills, and abilities. Thank heaven for Cindi!

Cindi's honesty and bravery in confronting difficult issues was an important strength. She helped me work through layers of procrastination that were blocking my progress on my goals related to my health and to general organizational needs. Also, she worked with my areas of resistance in creative ways, and occasionally, when I felt very stuck, she offered new ideas and approaches for me to consider. She held me accountable, which is what I need, but I could always feel her compassion and caring beneath the tough love! She listened well, and respected what I had to say.

Cindi is very insightful and has an excellent way of gently bringing her clients around to seeing and understanding their situation/place they are in. She is also excellent at helping you explore creative ways to achieve your goals or overcome the obstacles youre facing without it feeling overwhelming. I highly recommend Cindi as a personal Life Coach.

Cindi's support was amazing. I feel that I grew so much due to her support, encouragement, powerful questions and amazing insight. She really supported me in understanding my desires, intention and value. She also celebrated my journey and my accomplishments and growth along the way.
Cindi is gifted and talented as a coach ~ she brings her gift of writing in her re-cap, her listening is impeccable, her intuition always amazed me ~ she always heard what I wasn't saying as well as what was stated. Her questions were powerful and enlightening. There was always such a high energy in our calls which supported my quest for discovery.
I was absolutely amazed with Cindi's coaching and her follow-up. The re-cap of each of our sessions really empowered me in realizing her level of support and understanding in and of my life (listening) ~ I can say that Ive never felt more supported by anyone.

Cindi, you have a great ability to create a large, open space, free of judgment, yet filled with acknowledgment, celebration, enthusiasm and validation. Your questions were always clear, insightful, to the point and caused me to look inside and gain new insight and clarity regarding my processes.
In terms of the ocean, which I know is important to you, your sessions provide a safe harbor and a solid anchor in stormy weather. As a coach, you have the ability to flow easily with the changing tides of whatever your client brings to the session. It seems to me that in listening to the many sounds of the oceans, you've learned how to listen to what is being revealed in the quiet between the sounds of the waves. I believe your connection to the ocean has enabled you to listen from the heart and you bring this to your coaching.
One especially powerful thing you provided was a written summary of our sessions. These helped me to stay focused from session to session and your mid-week emails served as reminding factors and gave me an energy boost at the point in the week I was most likely to begin to lose my momentum.
Thanks Coach Cindi for ALL your Help & Support!
