Teena.

“Hello, my name is Teena. My sister introduced me to Susanna.

Let me tell you, the first few weeks (maybe months) of my time with Susanna, I cried. Not just eyes watering but full on crying! I was so surprised about this that I got worried that I was becoming emotionally undone. 

With Susanna’s holistic approach, she guided me with such gentleness, supportiveness, love, and care. Teaching me all the ways that I could like myself again, find gratitude, be mindful of what Teena does want; how will Teena go through each and every day.

She has filled my tool box up so that now I have tools to reach out to help me be healthy and more physically active. As I get ready to retire, I will be ready and can hit the road running to have fun! 

I have lost 34 pounds, I’m riding my bike and using a rowing machine 3-4 times a week, eating plant-based food and more Mediterranean foods. My husband has joined with me as well. 

It’s amazing when you begin to take care of your health and wellness how all the stresses become easier to handle... I find myself thinking of so many things to be thankful for.

I’m sleeping better and my GI symptoms are more manageable.

Susanna is so professional and I highly recommend anyone to reach out to her if you want to give yourself the gift of living life in a better way.”

“Initially I signed up with Susanna because I wanted to create accountability around my health and fitness. I’m over 60 and have been quite overweight so I also wanted someone who could work with me that would help me get fit keeping in mind my age, lack of fitness and my weight. I got that and so much more! Her style is warm, encouraging, and focused on going forward from your baseline. I had used a personal coach once before and it didn’t work out because this person (who was very nice) used more of a “formula” for all women in general. When I work with Susanna I get so much more. I now am confident I can change my daily habits. I am slowly but surely becoming more fit and more comfortable in my body. I feel like every time I meet with Susanna is a day to go forward. Since seeing her I’ve learned not to judge myself whether I’ve had a good week or bad week. We are there to acknowledge what might not have gone well, but not to dwell on it. We just keep moving forward. Susanna is compassionate, warm and genuine, but also she is there to get you into action with your goals of health and wellness.

My time with her has been worth every minute.”

“I met Susanna through the Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy. I was working through some childhood sexual abuse trauma that had made a heavy impact on my physical health. I’m a 39-year-old single mom and time and finances were always my excuse not to invest in myself. I’m a Social Type 2, so committing to this investment with Susanna was a big step for me.

We began with weekly coaching calls via Zoom. I had high expectations of how this would help me, and slowly but surely it has transformed me - body, soul and spirit. But, I had to first trust the process. Her holistic approach was exactly what I needed. Her understanding of my personality type definitely assisted in my growth and her use of intuitive guided imagery and positive psychology did my heart well.

I’ve learned to love my body and heart in a whole new way. She is patient and kind, truly listening to my overall wellness desires. My strength, agility and energy increased in just four months. I’m so grateful to work with Susanna, she’s been a cheerleader for me and has made ‘getting in shape’ fun! To date, I’ve lost 38 pounds and have adopted a whole new fitness philosophy. I highly recommend investing in Susanna as a Health Coach - your future self will thank you!”

“Susanna is teaching me about self-care. She has an ability to help me determine my strengths, guides me to developing my own goals, and most importantly, helps me figure outlaw I can set up my day to follow the steps needed to meet goals. I’ve improved in fitness, setting boundaries, recognizing when I need help and learning how to ask for it. The people close to me have said that I am more calm, mindful and have a better ability to leave my baggage out of the equation when communicating with them. I always end a session with Susanna feeling empowered. On a scale 1-5, Susanna is a 10!

“Working with Susanna has been a joy. She has led me to an unexpected path of discovery of what I need and want, what makes me happy and how to enjoy life more fully.”
