Cindy Jones is a channel of relaxed energy moving through the office. Her quote for Westside Family Acupuncture is: “When you are ready to stop being in pain, call me.”
A third generation Air Force “brat”, Cynthia learned how to make friends and network at a young age. The middle daughter of six children, her naturally laid-back manner will have you feeling at home in no time. Affable and encouraging, her smile is waiting to greet guests and to accompany clients through the journey of trying traditional oriental medicine.
Cindy wasn’t always so relaxed. A National Honor Society member, she graduated with Honors in the top 10% of her class. An overachiever, she made up for always being the new kid by striving for success in a wide range of subjects. From 3 years as a teacher’s aide to French club and Drama club, her schedule was packed beyond the core subjects. The busy, stress-filled hours continued outside of school: Puppeteer Troup leader, 4-H Club president, church youth leader. She’d win a History Day or Flag Line competition one day and then act in the junior class play or make Allstate in choir the next.
Trading one set anxieties for another, Cindy left Hendrix College to marry back into the military in 1988. The physical and mental tensions of her youth rolled over into physical and mental traumas of adulthood. As happens to many women, her husband was abusive and she eventually terminated the marriage after the birth of their daughter. However, that union brought her to Kirtland Air Force Base, where the calm desert became home.
Cindy struggled as a single mom but learned how to be strong without losing her tenderness. In 1999, she married a compassionate and stable man, with whom she raises two daughters, two dogs, a cat, various fish and a turtle. She has completed her first book, under C L Cooper, but has not yet attempted publication. Although a few of her poems were chosen to represent the city of Albuquerque for the Tri-centennial, she is happy with her life and will wait to pursue some things until after her children are grown.
God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
The path of overcoming the abuses and stresses from her own history has brought Cindy to a place of sincere and gentle understanding. New patients usually lose any hesitant qualms or uneasiness very quickly and feel free to open up concerning their pains. Her manner helps people feel comfortable enough to relax, which is key to receiving the most excellent results in acupuncture. Coupled with this sympathetic nature, her desire to represent the love of God in a very honest and real way makes her an added gift at Westside Family Acupuncture.
