Vibrant Voices

“When I returned to working with Cindi, I was stretched between caring for my aging parents and energetic grandchildren.   A year before my anticipated retirement, I made the sudden decision to leave my career in the wake of my parents’ medical crises.   Life clearly was not unfolding as planned. Yet, through the uncertainty and turmoil, I credit yoga and the work we did together for transforming my fears into hopes and growing my skills to reimagine a whole new way of living. Today, I feel renewed, empowered, and grateful! ”

Michelle "Mitzi" Anderson ~ Green Valley, AZ

Cindi Buenzli Gertz

Creator/Director

Hi, I’m Cindi! If you’re a woman in peri-menopause or menopause, I’d like you to think of me as your MidLife MidWife. My desire to help you navigate this powerful passage stems from my own 10+ years going through peri-menopause. And even long before “the change”, I transformed my own self-care habits after a quarter life crisis in my late 20s. I love to show women how to rest deeply and breakthrough the habits of pushing, pleasing, and perfecting, a struggle I overcame after burning out. I’m a Certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher, Advanced Relax & Renew Trainer, and Co-author of two best-selling anthologies, Awakening the Divine Feminine: 18 Stories of Healing, Inspiration, & Empowerment and LOVE NOTES from the Soul: Stories of Transformation & Hope. As the creator of the Vibrant Woman Program and the Inspired Menopause Circle, I love to help my midlife sisters, like you, design your own joyful journey, come alive again, and thrive with abundance. There’s so much potential and possibility awaiting you “on the other side”. I’m so glad you’re here!
