Unlock the Secrets to a Successful Retirement

Meet the Founder

Cindy knows, in a way few people do, that life can change direction without warning. As the youngest of six children, she was only 11 when her father passed away suddenly at 52 — a man who worked tirelessly but never had the chance to enjoy the “fruits of his labour.” Three of her siblings followed a similar path, each passing in their 50s while still deeply immersed in their careers. These losses shaped Cindy’s understanding of time, purpose, and what it truly means to live a full life. They also sparked a powerful commitment: to embrace retirement as a gift — something no one in her family had the chance to do. As she shared her excitement about retirement with friends, family, and coworkers, she kept hearing the same doubts: “What would I do if I wasn’t working?” “Wouldn’t I be bored?” “My career is who I am.” “Work is where my friends are.” Cindy realized that many people weren’t afraid of retirement itself — they were afraid of losing their identity, their community, and their sense of purpose. That’s when the spark became a mission. A Vision Born from Experience and Heart With a career spent facilitating courses, guiding workplace change, and championing values like fun, friendship, health, and laughter, Cindy has always been someone who helps people navigate transitions with confidence and optimism. She has “walked the stage” herself — graduating from a life of work, celebrating her accomplishments, and stepping boldly into a chapter filled with possibility. RetireMentors is the culmination of her lived experience, her professional expertise, and her heartfelt belief that retirement should be a celebration, not a crisis. Cindy founded this company to shift the narrative — to help people see retirement not as an ending, but as a vibrant, meaningful, energizing next chapter. Cindy’s Promise Through RetireMentors, Cindy brings compassion, clarity, and contagious enthusiasm to everyone she works with. She knows the fears, the questions, and the uncertainties — and she knows the joy that comes from discovering who you can become when you move beyond the career chapter. Her mission is simple: To help you step into retirement with purpose, confidence, and a renewed sense of who you are — and who you’re ready to be next.
