I’ve seen firsthand the impact that Ci has in supporting others in our profession. She brings a rare combination of empathy, lived experience, and practical coaching tools that truly resonate. In a role where we’re often expected to be strong for everyone else, Ci creates the space where you can be real and find clarity. Her coaching is more than just conversation; it’s a catalyst for resilience and growth. I’m proud to recommend her to any first responder looking for support and a path forward.

Batallion Chief & Coach

Ci brings a rare blend of lived experience, grounded wisdom, and creative insight to everything she does. She has walked the path herself—both boots on the ground and in leadership—so when she speaks, it comes from a place of deep understanding and earned perspective. What makes Ci stand out is the way she weaves in a spiritually centered and imaginative approach, helping people see possibilities they may have overlooked. As a peer and mentor, she offers not just guidance, but a steady presence that inspires confidence and growth. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her as a coach will find themselves supported, challenged, and profoundly encouraged.

Wholehouse Consulting & Counseling

I have tried therapy in the past for brief periods of time, I’ve read self-help books, I’ve watched shows, and I’ve learned to live with my feelings and emotions. And I tried to become strong on my own. Early this year I met Cindy and I began meeting with her once a week. I have to say she has helped me change so many areas of my life! 

One thing that stood out from the first meeting is how intuitive Ci is and how she sometimes is able to know what I am about to say. 

She always meets me where I am emotionally and she guides me towards healing using many techniques-some I had not even known existed. 

I am grateful for Cindy for showing me how to grow as person and for helping me become who I always wanted to be.

As National President of the NLPOA and Chief of Police for Killeen, I had the privilege of working closely with Cindy Rodriguez during her time as NLPOA President. Her leadership, integrity, and vision left a lasting impact on our organization.

Cindy now brings that same passion to Iron and Ember Coaching, where she strengthens leaders with resilience and clarity while igniting purpose and growth. Her professionalism, authenticity, and dedication make her an exceptional coach who is shaping not only leaders but the future.
