love my life.  I wake up in the morning knowing each day is only going to happen once and am excited and curious to see what will unfold.  It’s not “easy” or “perfect,” but it is full and teaming with possibilities.  For me, this transformation has been the result of adopting personal growth as a lifestyle.  My mission is to introduce others to the concepts, ideas, thoughts, and behaviors that allow them to begin to experience this approach to embracing a full life.

As a professional career woman and mother, I’ve evolved from scientist to business manager, to business owner, to teacher, to facilitator, to coach.  I’ve completed CTA Certification (Life and Group Coaching) and founded Empowered for Life in 2002.

I believe that personal growth is key to living a fulfilled life everyday.  When we embrace our choices, the world opens up, freeing us to explore the depth of who we are, and to shape who we will become.

I believe that each person has an authentic self that wants to express.  Life is for living and this journey is about revealing this core self to the world.

"Susan has a keen skill at creating a very safe space for small groups to share and support one another. She allows and encourages each group member to share their experiences and skills...  It's very possible that I may receive additional business from my group coaching session which is an unexpected benefit!  In all of the sessions that I have attended with Susan, I have felt listened to, supported and valued by everyone in the room.  I feel that Susan sets the stage for that type of interaction to take place."     —Tara
