“Susan is a one-of-a-kind woman who has a magical way of connecting. She is able to lead without being authoritarian, guide without taking away others’ voices, and make every single one of us feel like we matter. She’s a wise one and I’d highly, highly recommend working with her in any way possible because you will walk away feeling fuller and more whole.” --Amy Progrebin Bremenstuhl

What my clients are saying...
"I have worked with Susan as a coach in several contexts: relationship, sexuality, and business, and have been so impressed by her work in all of these contexts! Susan has an ability to track the small stuff, allowing me to have a bigger understanding of how I operate and integrate more into my learning. In my relationship coaching sessions with her and my partner, we have made more headway in a few sessions than we did in months without her. She is caring and supportive in all of the ways. She's comfortable with the edgy stuff about sexuality that not everyone can handle. I highly recommend her and appreciate how she holds me to my deepest growth." --Caitlin A.
"From the first time I met Susan I was changed forever. I had to challenge myself and I was inspired - in ways that took me 3 years to understand. As a result, I am now living the most beautiful life ever and it is because I met her. I watched, questioned, and learned. Why? Because she is the best teacher. She does it by example, without judgement, and with total acceptance, support, and understanding. She makes me not want to be a better person. She makes me want to be a better me. I can only imagine how much of an impact she can make on your life is she is your coach.....the impact for me has been beyond words." --Kara Ann M.
"During our coaching sessions together, Susan guides me into the heart and belly space where I can find my own answers. Her sessions strike a balance between exploring intuition and practicality that I love. Susan has definitely helped me bring greater awareness and new possibilities into my life." - Lea Y.
