Cynthia Santiago-Borbón

Pronouns: She/her/ella

With over two decades of expertise in the mental health and wellness space, Cynthia Santiago-Borbón, a clinically trained therapist, healer, and Priestess of Obatala, trains other clinicians, transformational workers, coaches, leaders, and healers to reclaim their spirituality, their wisdom traditions, and their lives so that they can be the healers and the leaders that our world needs at this moment.

Cynthia’s multi-disciplinary, culturally informed, spiritual approach has always been deeply rooted in liberation, equity, and anti-oppression. She provides personal and professional development services including private coaching, clinical supervision, group coaching, workshops, and retreats for other practitioners and leaders that want to decolonize their work and businesses and ensure that they are not replicating harmful, oppressive practices within their lives, with their clients, and in their work.

Cynthia has been featured in numerous media outlets and organizations including USA Today, New York Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Women's Day, Bustle, Byrdie, NBC, Squarespace, Columbia University, and the NASW.

While Cynthia has formal training and certifications across numerous modalities and disciplines, she credits her powerful and transformative approach to healing, growth, and personal and entrepreneurial development to the wisdom of her African and Indigenous Ancestors and to the Orishas that have guided her journey. Cynthia has a Master of Social Work from Fordham University, and a B.A. from Hamilton College and certifications across related fields.
