About Cintra Best

​

Cintra Best is an author, teacher, shaman, entrepreneur, and transformational guide whose life’s work bridges personal healing, spiritual awareness, and real-world resilience.

Walking between worlds — from sacred spaces to disaster zones — Cintra’s work is rooted in one core belief: healing is not separate from life. It is how we learn to live.

Through Enlighten My Senses®, Cintra guides individuals back into balance, wholeness, and embodied awareness by integrating ancient wisdom teachings, natural health principles, intuitive guidance, and grounded real-life experience. Her work honors the connection between mind, body, heart, and spirit — creating space for transformation that is both deeply personal and practically lived.

For more than two decades, Cintra has supported transformation in many forms: helping individuals reconnect with their inner wisdom, leading organizations through change, and supporting communities during times of crisis and rebuilding.

Her approach is rooted in the understanding that people are not broken — they are remembering. Through compassionate and discerning guidance, she helps clients uncover the hidden emotional, energetic, and behavioral patterns shaping their choices, relationships, and wellbeing.

At the center of her work is awareness: learning to see clearly, trust yourself deeply, and embody your truth in everyday life.
 

Author & Teacher
 

Cintra’s book, Enlighten My Senses®, first released in 2013, is the foundational work of her platform — tracing her deeply personal journey through loss, anxiety, healing, and awakening while inviting readers into their own journey of self-discovery.

Now expanding through a revised edition, Enlighten My Senses® continues to guide readers back to their heart, intuition, and inner wisdom.

The foundation of the work is simple:

Awareness creates choice.
Choice creates change.
Change creates transformation.

Cintra is currently completing her second book, Enlighten My Senses®: Evolving the Soul, which explores what happens after awakening — learning to embody awareness through relationships, emotions, decisions, and everyday experiences.

Where Enlighten My Senses® begins the journey of seeing yourself clearly, Evolving the Soul explores the practice of living from that awareness.

Since 2012, Cintra has also served on the board of Akhand Param Dham of America, a nonprofit organization devoted to supporting the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual development of humanity.
 

Education & Training
 

Cintra’s studies include a Bachelor of Science in Natural Health, advanced education in naturopathic wellness, and certifications in Nutrition and Herbology.

She is also a Reiki Master Teacher, trained in levels one, two, and master certification.

Her continued studies span natural health, energy medicine, homeopathy, emotional awareness, and ancient spiritual teachings — blending multiple healing traditions with practical wisdom gained through decades of personal practice, leadership, and lived experience.

Her approach is educational and awareness-based, honoring each individual’s unique journey while encouraging self-understanding, alignment, and personal responsibility.
 

Beyond the Work
 

Beyond her spiritual and educational practice, Cintra has spent decades leading, building, and rebuilding in the physical world.

She has held senior leadership roles in business and operations, including Director of Operations and Chief Financial Officer, and continues to serve as a disaster recovery specialist and field leader supporting communities across the United States during times of crisis.

Her unique path bridges two worlds:

Rebuilding communities after external disasters.
Supporting individuals as they rebuild their inner world.

Through this integration, Cintra is expanding her work into organizational wellness and leadership consulting — partnering with companies, leaders, and teams to strengthen resilience, awareness, decision-making, and sustainable performance in high-pressure environments.
 

Additional Creations
 

Cintra is also the founder of:

Wild Turkey Inn Wellness Center® — a sacred retreat space devoted to restoration, reflection, holistic experiences, and reconnection with nature and self.

Body B Beautiful® — a luxury organic skincare line created to honor the body and encourage deeper self-connection.

Sassy Girl Sauces — a signature green chili sauce line created with heart, heat, and heritage.
 

A Way of Living
 

At the heart of Cintra’s work is a simple truth:

You’re not here to be fixed.
You’re here to remember who you are.

Enlighten My Senses® is not simply a practice — it is a way of living.

It is an invitation to see clearly, embody fully, love consciously, and bring your inner wisdom into everyday life.
