Welcome! I'm guessing you'd like to feel better or be happier in some area of your life, or you wouldn't have found my site. You've probably tried to make things better on your own, many times, and it's rough going.
My job is to be your guide and co-conspirator in making the changes that YOU want to make. I offer support, tools and guidance for your journey forward, into your own precious life.
One of the most important tools that I teach is Emotional Freedom Techniques, or "tapping." This technique is easy-to-learn, and it's a life-changer. It gives you the power to calm and release difficult emotions, literally at your fingertips.
I also have a particular interest in working with women 50+ who have experienced the loss of their primary relationship through divorce, death or decision. It happened to me at age 60, so I have developed the program I wish I'd had, so that I can support women through this difficult transition.
Let's get together on a free 30-minute Zoom chat. I'll listen with compassion and without judgment to your concerns. I'll tell you what I can offer you, and together we'll decide if we're a good fit for working together to help you heal and move forward.
About
I raised five daughters and taught kindergarten for many years. When my 30 year marriage ended abruptly, I found myself staring in to the abyss of my future. "What's next?" I wondered. Fearful and shaken to my core, I sought support from others: therapy, life coaching, books, classes, workshops, retreats, massage, mindfulness, friends, family and music. I could not have done it alone. Part of my answer to "What's next?" was becoming a Certified Life Coach. A few years later, I discovered EFT, and trained as an Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner. It is my honor and privilege these days, to support others as they create lives of meaning, peace and freedom.
I hold a Master's Degree in Confluent Education from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I studied Life Coaching through the Institute for Life Coaching Training in Ohio, and am a Board Certified Coach through the Center for Credentialing and Education. I am also an Accredited Certified EFT Practitioner through EFT International.

I had the pleasure of having EFT sessions with Susan. I can't say enough about her sensitivity and thoughtfulness. It has made such a difference in my life. I was able to overcome deep barriers that I have lived with from childhood. I feel set free from them now. Which in turn gives me the ability to live live a happier life!

EFT tapping with Susan has made such a difference for me! It is a simple, easy-to-learn tool to help identify and neutralize thought patterns and emotions that may be affecting your life in negative ways. Susan made me feel comfortable and accepted and brought much wisdom and knowledge as a Life Coach to our sessions together. I have learned to listen to my body’s wisdom and have learned so much about identifying and processing my emotions. Now I feel I know how to claim my power with an ongoing practice as I learn new things about myself.

I was divorced at age 52, and had no idea how to move forward. All of my friends had partners, and I felt very much alone. I didn't know how to accept what had happened to me, or what to do about the future. Susan used EFT to help me deal with all the pain I was feeling. She coached me as I started to move forward with small steps. It's not a quick fix, there's a lot of healing to do, but working with Susan got me out of my stuck misery and helped me see possibilities for a happier future.
