I received my training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods. In addition, I am certified by Columbia University Teachers College in The Health Counseling Training Program and am board certified by the American Associan of Drugless Practitioners.  I have done research on the connection between nutrition and disease and have been a speaker for many years.

I am also a certified Advanced PSYCH-K® Facilitator, replacing negative subsoncious thoughts into empowering positive beliefs.  PSYCH-K® has changed my life and I love working with clients to change their lives.  My interests are hiking, biking, snowshoeing, skiing, yoga and meditation.

Testimonials

I completely contribute my quitting smoking to Susan! I smoked for 10 years, about 3-4 packs per week. After only one session with Susan, I was down to only 3-4 cigarettes per weekend. Just a few sessions later, I was done with smoking all together. Through Susan’s PSYCH-K counseling, she got to the subconscious root of the addiction, and just a few weeks after quitting I didn’t even think about smoking anymore. My good health depended on giving up the smoking habit - and I owe it all to Susan!

I thought I was pretty knowledgeable but Susan expanded my horizons around fitness, nutrition and wellness. Her very pertinent questions helped me to have much more focus and awareness around what I’m doing and eating and how I feel and respond to food and exercise. I appreciate that Susan came from the corporate world so understands issues like eating healthy on the road. Best of all I see the results – I lost two dress sizes and look and feel great!

Since working with Susan, I am much more conscious about the food I put into my body, am cooking more and eating less processed food. Very notably, I’m eating less candy and even gave up my Diet Cokes – I tried one after giving them up and it tasted horrible! I am getting into meditation and am much less stressed. I am learning to explore my inner self to see what it is I really want to do with my life. I appreciate Susan’s flexibility and her well-rounded program that has helped to bring balance into my life.

Through working with Susan, I have much more awareness around food and exercise and how it makes me feel. Limiting alcohol consumption and portion control during mealtime has helped greatly with energy levels. Susan encouraged me to take more time for myself, meditate and explore my creative side - I'm even taking guitar lessons! She has definitely found her calling in life and I would recommend her to anyone.

Chuck – Finance, Denver, CO

Susan is very knowledgeable about food and nutrition and has lots of great ideas on how to approach different challenges. I’ve really looked forward to each session: learning something new, the great recipes and handouts, and creating new goals each time. There is just the right balance between goal setting and encouragement. I feel better, have more energy and am cooking more often! I am not eating as much sugar and am much more aware of the sugar content in foods. Susan is a great listener and a fabulous coach. I would definitely recommend her program.

Cheryl – Court Reporter, Denver, CO

I needed Susan’s support to shake things up in my life – I am finally looking at the things I have ignored for so long! I have so much more awareness around food and nutrition and have cut sugar out of my diet. I am committed to exercise and have greatly reduced caffeine. She has even helped me with my sleep issues. Everyone could benefit from Susan’s counseling!

Lee – Insurance, Denver, CO

Susan helped me to have more awareness around food and to listen to my body. I am cooking more, eating less sugar, sleep better and feel good. My wedding dress is looser and I recently pulled out my skinny clothes! I like Susan’s easy going style, she doesn’t give me a complex or judge me around my eating or goals.

Lisa – Insurance, Hartford, CT

Thanks to Susan’s counseling, I feel much better physically and emotionally. I’m drinking much more water and eating the protein I need for my body to function well. Susan is kind, excellent at what she does and a blessing to many, I’m sure. Our time together did more good than she can ever know! God truly crossed our paths.

Tina – Legal Assistant, Denver, CO

Susan’s counseling has not only changed my life but the lives of my family. I am amazed that I’m completely off caffeine and my kids ate kale and spinach – and liked it! I have much more energy and much less crabbiness. Having accountability to Susan encouraged me to achieve my goals of walking, cooking more, eating healthier snacks, de-cluttering my life and having a gratitude journal – I am indeed grateful for Susan’s excellent coaching.

Sheryl – Insurance, Omaha, NE

Susan has a great coaching style – she's easy to talk to, a great listener and best of all doesn't judge. I loved the handouts and the sessions really helped me to make the connection between what I put in my body and how it affects me in my daily life - my immune system, mood, energy and everything else. I love that it's not just about nutrition - the time with Susan gave me the space to reflect on my life; this awareness and support has enabled me to continually self-reflect and I am more proactive in improving many areas of my life.
