About Your Hosts

The success of her workshops, private practice and six books … A Helping Hand With Life, Emotional Fitness, The Four Seasons of The Heart (A quartet of books focusing on the following topies) … Anger, Sadness, Change and Growth … is due to her own recovery journey from childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence and 19 years of active drug and alcohol addiction.

Her unique healing techniques have been welcomed not only by Queensland Health, but also The Australian Defence Force Recovery Unit at Gallipoli Barracks, Relationships Australia and Lifeline. Insights from her latest, seventh book Shedding Relationships will be integrated into the Bali Retreat.

Testimonials
I have sat in the audience during live events listening to Cynthia relive her story spellbound. She makes you laugh, makes you cry and importantly she makes you want to be a better person. I think of Cynthia as an earth mother, a maternal, nurturing soul who genuinely cares for people, no matter what their story holds. You rarely come across people like Cynthia, but it would be a far better world if we did.
Deborah Hutton – Media personality, founder & publisher of Balance By Deborah Hutton
As a strong fit man I once presented a physically powerful external shell but internally I was struggling. In a nutshell, I was immature and emotionally unfit. I’m grateful for Cynthia’s Emotional Fitness tips over the years, she has helped me to build the emotional muscle I needed to become a more emotionally accessible man and father.
Wayne Carey – ‘The King’ of AFL, Newspaper Columnist, TV & Radio Commentator
Cynthia is one of those women you want as your best friend…the chick who is in your corner telling you like it is. I knew that she was a wise woman but never fully understood how wise until my life was thrown into chaos. So I am thrilled to see that some of this wisdom and love is now in book form for everyone to gain from. Whether you pick these books up and down at will or read cover to cover I am sure they will help change your perspective.
Robin Bailey – Television & Radio Presenter
Cynthia Morton is an extraordinary person. I first met her nearly 20 years ago when I was a medical specialist and academic in Queensland. She helps people reflect on how their experiences might have shaped them, and how their thoughts and actions have resulted in addictive disorders and dysfunctional relationships in their adult years. I am certain those who read “The Four Seasons of the Heart” will experience the healing process which is so evident in Cynthia’s own life and in all that she has done.
