Cyndi Roberts is the director of the new wellness program at Advocacy Unlimited and a certified therapeutic yoga instructor and gluten free baker in the West Hartford area. She openly shares her experience of having lived in the grips of depression, anxiety, addiction, a misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder and how the mental health system failed her. Faced with the prospect of liver failure and death, she used meditation, yoga, nutrition, spiritual studies, exercise, and art to save her life, lose 80 pounds and bring herself back to optimal health. She is a big believer in self-responsibility and how the power to heal and transform lies within.
