All About Cynthia

Welcome and thanks for visiting my blog site.  I'm Cynthia J. Morton, an Australian author who has studied extensively at the University Of Life, majoring in Self Sabotage, Smother Mothering and Weapons of Mass Distraction. I’m 48 and like many people who hit mid life, I have spent the second half of my life, getting over the first.

As a bestselling Australian Author, Blogger and Lecturer my work in the field of Emotional Fitness has received national recognition for this innovative Australian approach to emotional health and wellbeing with the following awards: Pride of Australia Medal, Australian of the Year Award, Prime Ministers Award of Excellence and an Award of Distinction for Services to Humanity. Author of "A Helping Hand with Life" and "Emotional Fitness" I am also a columnist for Better Health Magazine, Spa Life, and Spark Magazine and often asked to comment in the media on issues relating to emotional  health and wellbeing.

Emotional Fitness clients and workshop delegates include high profile celebrities, elite athletes, medical professionals, prison inmates, addiction rehabilitation specialists, parents groups and disadvantaged teens since 1995. 

The Emotional Fitness Program has provided services for: QR National, Australian Federal Government (Dept. of Health & Ageing) Griffith University Royal Brisbane Hospital, Relationships Australia Queensland, State Government (Dept. Health) Lifeline Department of Education, Step Up Foundation, Montessori Australia Council Family Relationships Services Australia, Brisbane City Council.

Below are some testimonials from these organisations:

“Cynthia Morton’s Emotional Fitness Program is unrivalled. Learn from her how to support yourself and others and be renewed”. Professor John B. Saunders Australian National Council on Drugs & World Health Organistion Advisory Committee.

“Cynthia is the most amazing woman, she has changed the life of in excess of 7000 Australians with her Emotional Fitness program.” Jane Johnson CEO Lifeline Northern Territory.

“This lady is a brilliant communicator and motivational speaker”. Professor Diego De Leo, Author, Director of the Australian Institute for Suicide Prevention Griffith University.

"When I first heard Cynthia speak over ten years ago I knew I was seeing and hearing an undeniable truth. Here was a genuine human being whose personal journey of recovery required her to tap into her own unique Indigene and find the right path of the heart. This is a woman who has learnt to hunt and gather the right soul food for fuelling her journey. I believe Cynthia's work 'Emotional Fitness' has much to offer to members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community who are seeking more tools and a roadtested map to healing." Gallan Goorringen!   Debra Bennet
Director - Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Programs
Relationships Australia

“When I first heard Cynthia speak, to be perfectly honest I was incredibly impressed by her raw gut wrenching honesty it was immensely moving”. Dr Timothy Sharp Founder & Managing Director of the Happiness Institute Sydney.

I post on my personal journey sharing the challenges and triumphs of life as a writer, woman, mother, recovering addict and trauma survivor and wife at home, work and play.  I love hearing from my visitors, so if you have any comments please leave them in the comments box after each blog, or if you would like to email me personally please feel free on cynthia@emotionalfitness.com but please ... I ask for your patience with my response as you will note from my events page that I do a great deal of travel with conducting workshops so sometimes it takes me a while to catch up on my emails.

I hope you find something within my archives that massages your heart and provides nourishing food for feeling.  Thanks again for taking the time to visit and I hope to perhaps meet you in person one day.

Warmest regards,
Cynthia J. Morton
