I'm so happy I found Susan! I reached out to Susan because I wasn't feeling well and I knew I needed to make some changes in my eating and lifestyle. I've been working with Susan for eight weeks now. I've made progress each week and Susan celebrates that progress with me. She has been very patient and really takes the time to teach me. I had always heard that having to purchase organic food was so expensive but when you weigh out buying good organic food versus fast food and pre-packaged foods, I'm actually saving money! It's also fun to try new things. I'm feeling much better, I have more energy

I worked with Susan over a year ago when I found myself in an unhealthy, unhappy place. Through working together I not only lost 30+ pounds, but I became in tune with my body and my mind for the first time in my life. She truly invests herself in your success and making sure you understand WHY we need to eat and treat our bodies a certain way. The skills she teaches are invaluable and have had a lasting impact on the way that I not only approach nutrition, but every aspect of what I allow into my mind/ body. Eternally grateful - cannot recommend enough.

Susan was wonderful. You can tell that she really cares about your well being both physically and mentally. She helped my teenage daughter get back on track and helped her develop an eating program that was good for her. I would recommend Susan to anyone who needs some guidance with their nutrition. Thank you Susan!!!!

Susan's help has been instrumental in meeting my goal to increase comfort in dealing with fibromyalgia and to improve major digestion and elimination issues. I am sleeping better and have more energy. Susan stays at your side, coaching you through the program. With her help, you can do it. I am so grateful to have found her!

I came to Susan with gut issues. Even though I've been obsessed with studying health and nutrition for years, I needed a bit of help to fine tune everything. Susan was able to help me get on the right track. I highly recommend booking an appointment. She's very knowledgeable. I've referred several of my clients that she has helped immensely. Need help with your health? She will be able to help you.

The only reason why I'm not giving this 5 stars was how incredibly rude Susan was towards the end. I paid $1600 and I wasn't able to complete the program with her. It was pretty easy to follow the program at first. I learned a lot. I learned not to eat the same meal all week like I was previously doing. I adapted to the shake I had to drink for breakfast and the ginger tea I had to drink with every meal. For the amount of money the program didn't feel catered specially to me. It felt like it was like a one size fits all. She had me part take on weekly eating journals which I ended lossing interest
