Conocer a Cynthia
“You are not broken. You are tired. Those are two very different things.”
Welcome. I am Cynthia Mayo, a life coach based in Sydney, originally from Colombia.
My journey began in Colombia, where I trained and practiced as a psychologist. Through my own experience navigating migration, marriage, motherhood, and trying to build an identity in a new language, I started noticing a pattern. I saw it in myself, in my mother, in my sisters, and in my friends.
It is the pattern of the woman who puts herself last. The woman who sustains her partner, her children, her aging parents, and her career and in the process, loses contact with the woman she was becoming before all of that started.
My Approach
I realised that many of these women didn’t necessarily need therapy—they needed a different kind of accompaniment. Someone who could see them, ask the right questions, and walk with them as they rebuilt a life that included them. My voice is the way a wise woman speaks to a friend at her kitchen table. Direct, warm, and honest.
Today, I have shifted my professional focus entirely to life coaching. I work globally, primarily in Spanish but with professional English fluency, helping women reconnect with their worth and express their voice.
A Note on Coaching vs. Psychology
Cynthia has a background in psychology, but under this brand she practices strictly as a life coach. Coaching is forward-focused building skills, boundaries, and direction. It is not therapy, it does not treat mental health conditions, and that distinction matters deeply to how we work.
