Health Coaching
From Surviving to Thriving! A program to get you back, so you can do life better.
Imagine:
Having time in your day to do the things that you want to do (like reading a book!)
No longer experiencing the same bloating or cramping that used to derail your entire day
The reality is, while this sounds great you’re not sure how you’ll actually get there. You’ve been to Doctors and tried ‘special foods or products’ you were told about and although some have brought temporary relief nothing seems to give you the sustainable lasting results you are looking for. The information you are hearing about and researching is often confusing and contradictory leaving you not knowing where to start.
I get it. I’ve been there! But I’m happy to say that it doesn’t need to be this complicated. When you take out (I call this Minimize) what is irritating your body and add in (Maximize) the foods and nutrients that support you, and Prioritize an environment for healing the miracle happens: your body does the rest… it was designed to heal and your energy returns! I’ve seen this happen over and over again!
And I want the same for you.
In my program, we will explore concerns specific to you and your body and discover the tools you need for a lifetime of balance. My greatest goal is to empower you with the tools that will make a huge difference in your life not only during the time that we are working together, but making those changes be sustainable long term.
This is not a one-size-fits-all protocol approach, like you’ve probably seen before. Your personalized program is custom tailored to your individual goals and unique body’s needs.
- Set and accomplish goals
- Come to understand the root causes of your symptoms
- Explore new foods to build a sustainable diet that meets your goals
- Understand and reduce cravings
- Increase energy
- Feel better in your body
- Improve personal happiness and relationships
Food changes everything. It is not just calories. More importantly it is nutrition and literally the fuel that powers your body and mind. It builds every cell and system in your body. Specific nutrients are needed to avoid frequent illness, have an efficient metabolism, retain a strong and calm immune system, have optimal digestion and keep a balanced mood.
We keep it simple so it makes sense to you and we move at a pace that is manageable for you. As your daily diet changes, your body changes and your happiness improves. Figuring out what to eat can be frustrating because even healthy foods can be a source of irritation and inflammation if they are not right for you. Together we will put the puzzle pieces in place that will integrate the foods that are best for you with the lifestyle and mindset shifts that will bring you to your best life. Imagine what your life would be like if you had clear thinking, energy and excitement every day!

Why Work with Me?
I help you to find hope once again! I will empower you with the tools you will need to make a huge difference in your own well being so you can feel well enough to live the life you have been dreaming of.
As your Functional Wellness Health Coach I will help you to figure out what to maximize, what to minimize and what to prioritize so that your body will naturally seek wellness. You and I become a team so that you don’t have to do this alone anymore. I know how hard it is to try to figure it all out on your own. There is so much confusing and contradictory information out there! I know I’ve been there! What I know for sure is that your body is always desperately trying to tell you what it needs and you’re likely not recognizing the signs it is giving you.
What do all the aches and pains and gas and bloating and lack of focus and attention all mean anyway? How come I hardly have enough energy to get me through the day most of the time? Most of my tests are coming back near or within ‘normal’ ranges so why do I feel so bad? I get it! Together we decode what is happening. Then start to put the pieces of the puzzle in place so you can start to feel like yourself again.
It’s common to have food sensitivities or toxicity these days and not realize it. What most of us are experiencing are things that seem unrelated and yet the root cause points to our digestive system being out of whack. Most people are also not eliminating wastes efficiently. This causes toxins to remain in our system and to be reabsorbed which causes a myriad of issues. Or the elimination process is happening much too fast and we can’t get the nutrients out of our foods in time. Both of these can cause such things as bloating, gas or cramping.
Your gut can make you feel like your body is fighting against you.
When we are able to get the digestive system to calm down and return to balance then it is able absorb the nutrients from the foods we eat and our energy and vitality returns!
This is what I help my clients do everyday, and I can help you do it too.
“Sue is a good listener. She is knowledgable in body/healing issues, food, ingredients, good books to recommend. Sue does what she does because she loves to help and guide people to be the best they can be – and healthier. Thank you for being an awesome Wellness Coach. This is your calling.”
“Sue was able to offer alternatives to these types of poison – soda, bread, chips. Helping and educating me on different ways of eating – Clean eating. Got me reading different types of diets. I FEEL GOOD – I am eating better. I pay attention to my body more than I ever had. The knowledge that Sue shared with me is the most valuable – I feel I am an informed consumer. Buying better foods for a better life.
Sue is caring, sensitive, a great listener. Great problem solving skills. Always looking for alternatives that would work for me. Sue has a vast knowledge of many conditions, especially intestinal issues and diet and the link between the mind and the gut. I could not have made it this far without her help. Sue made me feel important and made me believe I could feel better. That there was a way as long as I was willing.”
“Within two weeks of starting my coaching program I was sleeping through the night and only got up once. I was able to fall right back asleep which I had not done in years! For digestion, we took many steps to clear my SIBO and I am on the tail end of that process now. I can eat many more foods without reacting at all.”
“Hey Sue! I wanted to take a few minutes here to update you on my spectacular status! I have to give you a massive virtual hug, because I feel *so* much better! Wow! Thank you sooooooooooo much!! The week before my period was so minimally irritating compared to what it has been for me. Mood has improved greatly.
Sugar cravings have been incredibly minimal for the past 3 weeks. I’m shocked at how infrequently I have had any sugar cravings, and they are way less intense when I do have them and I’ve lost 2 inches around my waist AND hips. Both areas have decreased by 2 whole inches! In general, I feel fantastic! Just overall happier and healthier. I wanted to take some time to let you know my progress and genuinely thank you for your services!”
“When I started I was in it for the weight loss and gained so much more then that! My focus, and mind clarity is in such a better place. We walked thru a lot of different things and today I am a new person. I have learned to stop and smell the roses, to carry my load and not everyone else’s. I would describe Sue as kind, loving and cares about my well being!”
“Working with Sue has been an incredible experience for me. When I first came to her I was stuck at a low point in my health and wellness. I needed support and guidance to improve my energy levels, my diet and my weight. I just couldn’t do it alone anymore. Sue helped me focus on what was most important to me by asking insightful questions that allowed me to create a plan that worked for me and my lifestyle.
Her small goal approach and recommendations made it easy to make sustainable changes. She always created a non-judgmental, safe and peaceful space that left me feeling motivated, inspired and supported. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is stuck and struggling to make healthy changes in their life. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with such an amazing coach. I can’t thank you enough, Sue!!”
“I recently experienced the pleasure of receiving Sue’s distance Reiki treatment. Over a few sessions I have slowly started to heal with a new strength and calmness that I so desperately needed. I highly recommend Sue’s heart centered care to you all.”
“Working with Sue exceeded my expectations by far – I had so many ah-ha moments that I don’t even know where to begin! Starting with figuring out what food was irritating my stomach to spirituality (which I thought I didn’t need) to small daily practices to improve my mental health. I never imagined I could help my own body heal itself.”
