If you had asked 22-year-old Suzy what she’d be doing in midlife, she probably would’ve said, “Midlife? I doubt I’ll make it that far.” She had a strange (and very dramatic) conviction that she wouldn’t live past her twenties. So she didn’t exactly plan ahead. Instead, she went seeking meaning, purpose, and any version of herself that felt remotely like home.
That journey took Suzy far and wide. She worked in Europe, served in the Peace Corps in West Africa, and did international development work around the world. She was brave and ambitious on the outside, but secretly stuck in her own head — detached from her body, unsure of her worth, and half-convinced that things like love, fun, and confidence were for other people. Most of the time, she felt meh or fine. Great seemed reserved for others.
And then, in 2010, everything shifted. Suzy survived the Haiti earthquake — and while she walked away physically intact, she didn’t walk away the same. PTSD led her to therapy, and therapy led her to deeper healing practices: yoga, journaling, meditation, breathwork, gratitude. Slowly, Suzy stopped treating her body like a taxi for her brain.
As she healed, things began to change. Suzy became a certified facilitator of TIMBo, a trauma-informed mind body program. She built real community, learned how to stay present, and realized she might actually be lovable (what a concept!). Suzy met her husband after bonding over a Chogyam Trungpa quote on Tinder, and they have built a joyful life together with their spirited daughter and snuggly dog.
Professionally, Suzy still hadn’t found the professional click she was looking for — until a friend suggested life coaching, and she went for it. She trained and certified in coaching and Energy Leadership™, complimenting her work with trauma-informed mind-body practices. She began helping other women through the transitions, identity shifts, and inner reckonings. It was the first time Suzy professionally felt fully aligned in both skill and soul.
These days, Suzy's work is about connection. She helps women tune back into their bodies, interrupt the stress response cycle, and remember who they were before the world told them who to be. She believes growth happens in community. She believes clarity comes from curiosity, not control. And she believes that no matter how far we’ve drifted, we can always come home to ourselves.
