Your Health & Wellness Matter
In order to live a higher quality life, maintaining optimal wellness is key. Everything we feel and do relates to our well-being and directly affects our actions and emotions. In order to subdue stress, reduce illness, and ensure positive moments in your life, you must achieve optimal wellness.
Live With Passion & Purpose
To achieve optimal wellness, one must apply it towards every possible endeavor. You can apply a wellness approach towards your environment, community, career, belief systems, physical activities, self care, healthy eating, self esteem, and creative activities. Applying wellness in your everyday life will allow you to achieve your full potential and live with passion and purpose.
My Personal Journey (and Passion!)
I have tried just about every diet out there. That is until about five years ago when my focus was on improving my health, not losing weight. You see, the stress associated with being the primary caregiver for my boyfriend who was dying of ALS, a son with down Syndrome and Autism, and a stressful job caught up to me. Bladder cancer had returned after a seven year hiatus and suddenly immune issues were surfacing, including food and environmental sensitivities. This was clearly a sign my system was on overload and my adrenals were stressed.
I adopted a Primal/Paleo approach and some of my symptoms subsided, including a persistent rash on my face and neck. I began to feel better, but was not yet able to remove all the stress. I adopted additional protocols, including good sleep hygiene, continued with my exercise but modified my chronic cardio approach, and practiced mindfulness and meditation practices.
Although better, I was still not at my best. There was a missing link. I was guessing, not testing. What were my hormones doing? How was my gut health? My digestion, detoxification, energy production and immune system? I could only guess. That is, until I discovered Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. I discovered hidden stressors that contributed to my metabolic chaos. I found stressors including active infections, hormone imbalances and bacterial imbalances within my system. I created a targeted protocol and my energy finally began returning to normal!
If you work with me, we will get to the root causes of your health issues, nourish your body, balance your hormones and blood sugar, heal your gut and build a strong foundation of health. And yes, you will likely even lose that weight you have not been able to lose because of all the hidden stressors. Let's get started today!
Client Success Stories
Lynette R., health coach client who successfully completed a 12-week program.
"I was a sugar addict and now I no longer crave sugar. Not only did I kick my sugar habit, but also I achieved my goals of feeling better and having more energy. As an added bonus, I lost approximately 45 pounds and six clothing sizes! I have a better overall mood, better sleep, better self-esteem, and improved joint function and flexibility so I can do yoga moves I was never able to do!”
Kelly S., life coach client who successfully completed a 12-week program.
“Earlier this year I found myself in a place of self-doubt, not sure if where I was in life was where I wanted to be and I couldn’t see a clear path for the future. I had lost myself in everyone else, putting others needs and feelings before my own. I have known Susan as a friend for many years, turning to her as a Coach was both easy and difficult. I didn’t want to admit that I was struggling. Susan helped me to give myself permission to talk about what I was feeling. The work we did together got me on the other side of feeling self-doubt, it helped me to think about my true path. I would absolutely recommend Susan as a Life Coach-thank you Susan for helping me find me again.”
Kevin R., health coach client who successfully completed a 21-day challenge program and continued to seek sporadic coaching for several years.
"I can’t begin to quantify the positive changes I have made in my life over the last three years thanks to Susan’s health and life coaching input. I’m more confident, lead a healthier sustainable lifestyle and now have the tools to ensure that my best years are ahead of me. I feel like I’m getting younger and not older. "
