Success Journeys

"I have struggled with my weight for 40 years. That is, when I actually stop to think about it, a shocking 80% of my life so far.

The natural tendency is to think that someone who struggles with their weight is overweight by some standard. And yes, I have spent many of my years on that side of things. But I have also spent years struggling at a “normal” weight and even underweight on occasion. Plain and not so simply, I have lived a majority of my life consumed by a number on the scale, negative body image and how I thought those factors defined who I am.

Everyone needs Suzie in their life. If you don’t think you need Suzie in your life you probably need her more than you can imagine. With more time, patience and compassion than I likely deserve, she helped me to change my life for good. She helped me take an honest look at the behaviors and thoughts that were keeping me from finding the success I had spent so many years chasing. Change is hard, because I had to change what I was used to. It was also worth every moment of doubt and every step backward to confidently take a step forward.

 I feel better than I ever have in my life."

"Working with Suzie was a choice that changed my life.  Throughout the 10 months that we worked together, not only did we achieve my weight loss goals, but she also guided me with aspects of my life that I didn’t necessarily think would have such an impact on my over all mental health and well-being, but it did!! Sure, I did things that put me out of my comfort zone, but I found that was absolutely necessary for my growth, teaching me how to expand my comfort zone.

She guided me to reach my goals by helping me develop a mindset and actual skills in ways that I was ready and able to do.  I now see in my past how the countless diets I tried focused on restriction and only temporary results. They never focused on what was really holding me back, my thoughts.  I found I had to heal from that diet mindset and experience. 

Not only are the changes I made manageable, but Suzie helped me take action around what I actually like to do and felt right and ready to do.  I never felt like this before about myself!!!

Her ability to understand components of my life that affect my health outside of food is astounding.  Having the ability to make changes to my thoughts, daily habits and routine, are all ways that have guided me along my journey to lose over 35 pounds in under a year. I plan on continuing this journey and I have the skills and mindset to do it.

She helped me make changes in many aspects of my life so I could achieve what I truly want for myself…my confidence and knowing I’m worth it."

"I reached out to Suzie because I found myself in my early 40s having completely lost my mojo. My weight had started to creep up over the years, and I wasn’t feeling like the best version of myself. Most importantly, I had lost all of my confidence, and felt completely lost in finding a consistent path forward. From day one, Suzie was a breath of fresh air, and offered a different perspective than all of the other self help books and fad diets I tried to feel better. We were able to work together to set realistic and achievable steps that allowed me to feel successful, confident and free of any judgement. Suzie’s guidance and encouragement got me back on track for my health goals and renewed my positive outlook on life. I am losing weight, making exercise a priority, and treating myself with the respect I deserve. I am so thankful to have found Suzie….she has such an amazing talent for helping others and is truly a bright light in this world."

"I've struggled with my weight and body image most of my life.  Suzie helped me see why.  It was wild when I just started seeing myself so differerntly.  I hated my body for so long, and it turns out the more I hated it, the harder it was to change.  Food was just a symptom of how I coped with the hard stuff.  I learned new coping skills and my mindset has totally shifted.  I feel so much better.  When my thoughts changed, I was able to begin to change my habits and I lost weight and gained confidence.  I never imagined it could be like this or that there was someone out there that could actually, really help me.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, Suzie."
