Cindy is an adoptive mom to three incredible humans who joined the family through foster care.

She has gained much awareness, insight, and strategies in living with the impacts of Neurodevelopmental Disorder Associated with Pre-Natal Alcohol Exposure (ND/PAE), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), trauma, loss, and grief. She knows how hard parenting complexities can be and is finding more compassion for herself along the way.

Professionally, she has recently returned to the practice of Occupational Therapy, combining her lived experience, in a private pediatric clinic. She became a Trust-Based Relational Intervention® Practitioner (TBRI® Practitioner) in 2021.

As a Peer Connector, she understands the benefits of peer-to-peer support and is looking forward to connecting with families on their parenting journey.
