About Cintra Best

Cintra Best is an author, teacher, mystic, medicine woman, shamanic practitioner, and entrepreneur whose work explores how the world around us can help us better understand ourselves, our emotions, our relationships, and the patterns shaping our lives.

​

Walking between worlds ,  from sacred spaces to disaster zones , Cintra’s work has been shaped by both what she has studied and what she has lived. For more than two decades, her experiences with loss, love, healing, leadership, spirituality, entrepreneurship, and rebuilding have deepened one question: Why do we think, feel, react, love, and live the way we do?

​

That question became the foundation of Enlighten My Senses® -  helping people bring awareness to what may have gone unseen so they can better understand themselves and make more conscious choices.

Author & Teacher

​

Cintra is the author of Enlighten My Senses®: Using Your World To Heal Your Heart And Your Senses, first published in 2013 and now being prepared in a revised and expanded edition.

​

The book is the foundation of The Heart Compass Trilogy™, an exploration of emotional awareness, the beliefs and patterns we form around our experiences, and how we bring that awareness into our relationships and the way we live.

​

Since 2012, Cintra has also served on the board of Akhand Param Dham of America, supporting its mission of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual development.

Education & Training
 

Cintra holds a Bachelor of Science in Natural Health, with additional studies in naturopathic wellness, Nutrition, Herbology, energy medicine, and homeopathy. Her training also includes Reiki Master Teacher certification and shamanic practices.

Her continued studies in emotional awareness and ancient spiritual teachings complement decades of personal practice, leadership, and lived experience.

Beyond the Work
 

Cintra has spent decades leading, building, and rebuilding in the physical world, with senior leadership experience in business, operations, and disaster recovery.

Her unique path bridges two worlds: helping communities rebuild after external disasters and helping people better understand and rebuild their inner world.

Today, that experience also informs her organizational wellness and leadership consulting work with leaders, teams, and organizations.

Additional Creations
 

Cintra’s entrepreneurial work also includes Wild Turkey Inn Wellness Center®, Body B Beautiful®, Sage + Soul Designs®, and Sassy Girl Sauces® — creations spanning wellness, hospitality, skincare, home, and food.
 

About Enlighten My Senses®
 

Enlighten My Senses® was created to help you better understand yourself by bringing awareness to the emotions, beliefs, patterns, relationships, and experiences shaping your life.

​

​At the heart of this work is love — bringing greater awareness and understanding to ourselves, including the parts of us that have been hurt, hidden, or protected.

​

The work begins with awareness - because when you can see what may have gone unseen, you can better understand why you feel, react, choose, and relate the way you do.
 

See Clearly.
Recognize what is shaping you.
 

Embody Fully.
Live what you discover.
 

Love Consciously.
Bring that awareness into how you love, connect, and relate.

See.  Embody.  Love.
