Thank you, Cynthia, for your help and kindness in our nutrition coaching sessions. It’s always a journey and it takes times but I feel so much better than when I first came to you with my gut health issues. Some of the discussion was a bit confronting but it has been invaluable understanding more about my own unique nutritional needs! I am thrilled with the difference it has made and would highly recommend your services to anyone.

My 16-year-old special needs child, has anxiety coupled with sensory and behavioural issues. On engaging with Cynthia at The Sacred Nest, I noted an immediate improvement in his overall behaviour. Cynthia’s approach to addressing his unique issues in addition to the welcoming and caring environment, has made a real difference - he is so much calmer than he was before. Cynthia has used a combination of calming strategies including the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), the Focus Program, meditation techniques and Therapeutic Touch. I would strongly recommend The Sacred Nest to assist with children and adolescents that are experiencing a wide range of issues.

Cynthia provides an intelligent and innovative meld of evidence based knowledge and skills with compassionate and holistic approaches to health and wellbeing. Her passion to create not only safe but exquisitely beautiful spaces reflects her attention to detail and capacity to take a range of ideas and information to create a place that soothes the soul. Cynthia has a vision for the internal spaces of our bodies to be as healthy and balanced as possible. She offers approaches which attend to the inner environment of the gut and promote peace and tranquillity within.

"Such a beautiful and comforting space. A definite place of calming and restorative energy."

"This is a beautiful, safe and creative space for the community interested in inspiring topics such as sustainability, nutrition and self awareness. The host, Cynthia Bartolo, is a warm soul constantly upgrading her skills to provide professional services always with a touch of humanity. I highly recommend visiting The Sacred Nest, a unique place in Melbourne, Australia."
