"Healing restores self-trust, untangles the harm of distorted relationships, and allows us to live — and lead — from truth."
With over 25 years in the mental health and wellness space!
Cynthia Santiago-Borbón is a psychotherapist, transformational coach, and founder of Sacred Living, LLC — a philosophy and pathway for those ready to outgrow narcissistic systems and reclaim sovereign, self-led lives.
​
Her work bridges inner healing and systemic change, supporting leaders, healers, and high-achievers in dismantling patterns of distortion and building lives, relationships, and leadership rooted in integrity and truth.
​
Cynthia teaches that personal healing is inseparable from collective evolution. When individuals outgrow narcissistic systems internally, they begin to dismantle them externally. The return to Sacred Living is both the practice and the protest — a refusal to normalize distortion, extraction, and emotional domination, and a commitment to building lives and leadership rooted in reverence, truth, and sacred responsibility.
Cynthia holds a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and a Bachelor of Arts from Hamilton College. She is certified in Positive Psychology, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Reiki Mastery, and Mindful Meditation. Her work and insights have been featured in USA Today, New York Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Women’s Day, Bustle, Byrdie, NBC, The Bulwark, Squarespace, Columbia University, and the National Association of Social Workers.
​
An initiated Lucumí Priestess of Obatalá, Cynthia integrates ritual, ancestral wisdom, and spiritually grounded practice into her work when desired by clients. These traditions inform her understanding of healing as relational, systemic, and sacred — rooted in right relationship with self, community, and the Earth.
​
Outside her work, Cynthia finds joy in salsa dancing with her husband, designing jewelry, reading transformational literature, and spending time with her goldendoodle, Cielo.
​
Her mission is to contribute to the evolution of human consciousness by guiding others to heal deeply, lead boldly, and live in right relationship with themselves, each other, and our planet.
