Susan’s focus is to support caregivers in growing their personal resilience so that they can have inner peace during one of life’s most challenging seasons.
Susan is most passionate about supporting caregivers who want to grow their personal resilience, so that they can be emotionally, mentally & physically healthier during one of life’s most challenging seasons. She wants to guide them to “spring to life” even when it is still stormy outside. Building their inner calm so they are not knocked down over and over.
Several years ago, Susan experienced a few health scares due to her not making self-care a priority. That is why she wants to guide other caregivers to make small but powerful changes for better self-care and life balance. Susan shares her client’s joy when they recognize the resilience they have been creating by making changes in their thinking and behavior to have a better quality of life.
Her favorite mood boosters are: music, aromatherapy, deep breathing, & chocolate.
