Inspiring Conversations with Cynthia Bischoff of Heartliving

Today we’d like to introduce you to Cynthia Bischoff.

Hi Cynthia, We’re so excited to have you on the platform. Before we ask about your work life, you can update our readers on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I began my career as a university administrator and highly successful business consultant, trainer, and life coach. After a life-changing experience on a trip to Bosnia to pray for world peace, I knew intuitively that my destiny was to assist individuals in finding more profound meaning and balance in their everyday lives. It is what I, myself, was searching for. I wanted to participate in work that would allow me to contribute to others and be a work of heart. I became certified in numerous healing modalities in the U.S., Japan, Europe, and South America. After extensive training, I re-emerged with a unique business and intuitive principles curriculum. I developed a company called Heartliving, and through Heartliving seminars, coaching, and healing sessions, I offer clients life solutions through an integrated view of body, mind, and spirit. My passion is to hear people’s stories and help them become the best version of themselves in their transformational process. I am originally from Maryland, but I eventually moved to the Midwest and then to Virginia, where I lived for 35 years. In 2022, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona, having always loved the Southwest, camping, and hiking on numerous occasions here. The expansiveness of the Arizona sky called me to elevate myself, and I am grateful to live here and touch lives virtually all over the U.S. and in Japan, teaching and doing individual coaching and healing sessions.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story. Has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
All of us have obstacles and challenges, and I am no exception. I was financially independent at age 18 and went through college while working full-time. I was a single parent of two children, ages 1 and 5, for several years as well, and most of all, I have felt like I was constantly picking myself up throughout my life. This involved consistently reframing circumstances, remaining hopeful in all endeavors, and coming from a place of generosity rather than lack. I am managing my energy and living with passion and purpose. I have worked passionately and tirelessly for 30 years in my Heartliving business. My client base has grown so much, and I have had to practice what I teach: I have established personal rituals for self-care, balance, and growth as I continue to raise my consciousness and assist others in raising theirs. More recently, I have taken several weeks off each year to travel to Europe and explore many cultures without a business agenda. Now, I am exploring the beauty of Arizona daily!

As you know, we’re big fans of Heartliving. What can you tell our readers who might need to be more familiar with the brand?
I am the founder of Heartliving®–my coaching and seminar business established in 1998 after a life-changing trip to Bosnia. Through Heartliving®, I have developed, marketed, and delivered life-coaching and energy medicine sessions, seminars, and products to thousands internationally, both in person and virtually.

As a master speaker and storyteller, I inspire others through my poignant life journey of risk-taking and living my soul’s mission. My authentic compassion and tireless commitment to helping people through significant, transformational life events distinguish me. I have helped clients with the most challenging circumstances, such as reframing traumas, managing life-threatening illnesses (understanding the symbolic reason for illness and applying complementary healing modalities), and guiding people to understand their life’s journey.

My unique curriculum is grounded in both business and intuitive principles. I have studied abroad and in the U.S. and am certified in numerous modalities, including Acupressure, Bio-energy, Breathwork, Hypnotherapy, Medical Intuition, Shamanic Studies, and Reiki. I hold a Ph.D. in Metaphysics.

Before creating Heartliving®, I taught and coached individuals in academic, business, and community settings. I developed and marketed hundreds of university outreach programs and consulted extensively for businesses nationwide, including Dollar Tree Stores, Ingersoll Rand, BP, Saturn, Sentara Health System, and the Virginia Department of Transportation. I previously authored several academic textbooks on writing skills. In 2019, I completed my fourth memoir, On Wings of Hope: Leading Lily Home. Heartfelt, this true story brings the reader face-to-face with essential insights about life as it shares my experience guiding a young client, Lily, through a journey from heartache to peace. My book integrates my varied areas of expertise—life coaching, spiritual psychology, philosophy, and energy healing—to present a unique approach toward understanding the meaning of life, relationships, mortality, and the afterlife.

I was inducted into the Norfolk, VA, Business Hall of Fame after receiving the BEST of NORFOLK HOLISTIC PRACTITIONER Award for 14 years in a row.  In 2013, I received the Virginian Pilot Inside Business “Women in Business Achievement Award.” I am so grateful for my dedicated and supportive clients who place their growth mindset as a priority. My passion is to inspire others to live their best lives!

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I was a shy, empathic, and spiritual child who loved school and read constantly. I was the third of six children and the family’s “peacekeeper.” When I was three years old, I was involved in a boating accident and nearly died. Whether or not that affected my psychic-sensitive abilities early in life, I was highly intuitive and could see and sense energy from a young age. I was also highly creative, artistic, and always drawn to spiritual topics and experiences.
