Cynthia Aguiar is a trauma-informed life and embodiment coach, movement facilitator, and energy practitioner devoted to helping individuals reconnect with their bodies and experience a sense of safety and joy from within.

With over 12 years of experience in education, Cynthia brings a deeply compassionate and grounded approach to her work. Her practice integrates EFT tapping, somatic-based techniques, and intuitive movement, creating accessible pathways for nervous system regulation, emotional release, and reconnection to self.

After experiencing a brain injury in 2021, Cynthia’s work evolved into a deeper mission: to support others in coming back home to their bodies. Her approach gently guides individuals out of survival states and into presence—where joy, pleasure, and self-connection become accessible again.

She is the founder of UNIQUEfemme, Her Movement & Co., and La Compagnie de Danse, and has facilitated workshops at institutions including Ivey Business School. Her work has been featured on Rogers TV and in Bold Magazine.

At the Eir Centre, Cynthia offers movement, EFT tapping, and somatic-based workshops, creating spaces where individuals can soften, release, and reconnect to themselves in a way that feels safe and empowering.
