Local Stories

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

Cynthia, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Since the young age of five, I have known that I would serve this calling as a healer, after accompanying my physician mother to the medical clinic in our home country of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. There, I witnessed the pure hands-on art of healing, free from the modern-day challenges of drugs, bureaucracy, and the threat of malpractice.

This experience laid dormant deep within me as I navigated my American life, completing modern medical training at Harvard Medical School, and subsequently practicing Western medicine. It wasn’t until the opening of my own wellness center five years ago—where I guided the patients to experience tremendous improvement in their health and well-being through integrative lifestyle practices that focused on weight loss, nutrition, fitness, and spiritual practices—that those early childhood memories of the art of self-directed healing were reawakened.

I am now a Holistic cardiologist who practices with her heart. I help replace stress, fear, and anxiety in patients by instilling a sense of inner calm and peace. I educate and inspire clients to take proactive steps towards health and healing. I and my team at the Holistic Healing Heart Center have helped thousands of people transform their lives. through the ways they think, feel, and act. I recently authored the book “Your Vibrant Heart: Restoring Health, Strength and Spirit from the Body’s Core”.

The true power of healing – of making our beings whole – exists in each and every one of us – Dr. Cynthia

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The biggest struggle has been learning the business aspects of running a successful medical practice. There is so much more to medicine. Physicians need to expand beyond the book knowledge to really connect with individuals and learn marketing and sales in order to practice their trade.

Holistic Healing Heart Center – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Unlike traditional medicine that focuses on treating an immediate problem or symptom, I and my caring team at Holistic Healing Heart Center take a more patient-centered approach that focuses on understanding the origins, prevention, and treatment of disease. By taking the time to listen to the patient’s history and looking at the interactions of how their lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors can influence and affect their health, we can help the patient overcome the real source of their chronic disease and provide them guidance and support as they take control of their health.

We offer medical services including primary care, cardiac services, nutritional services, acupuncture, naturopathic medicine, homeopathy, and anti-aging and laser services. What sets our company apart from others is that we genuinely care about the individual.

Here are our core beliefs:

COMPASSION – We treat patients with loving kindness and respect.

INTEGRITY – We believe in honor and honesty.

INNER STRENGTH – We believe each person is more powerful than any circumstance or diagnosis.

GROWTH – We recognize opportunities and set goals for ourselves and our patients.

EXCELLENCE – We strive daily to exceed our patient’s expectations.

What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
I recently received a review from a patient who was at a critical stage of her illness. She chronicles the dire state she was in and the unbelievable transformation she has experienced and the years of life she is now looking forward to. Her story gave me tremendous pride and honor that I was able to shepherd her on her own healing path.
