Hi. I’m Susan. I understand how burnout, stress, and life's continuous transitions effect your well-being because I've lived it.  I came to realize that functioning and struggling with chronic anxiety, situational depression, Sjogren's, Chronic Fatigue, pain, and more was not living. I reached a point where mere existence wasn't enough.  I needed to feel alive.  At 47, my own journey transitioned from merely surviving to thriving, marking the end of putting others first and myself last.

​

As an author, educator for over two decades, a wife, mother, and grandmother to two remarkable boys with autism, the urgency to be fully present and healthy for my family—and myself—became my priority. My holistic wellness journey began amidst personal health scares, a family member’s diabetes diagnosis, and a global pandemic that propelled me into a deep-dive study of holistic well-being, self-care, and healing so that I could support myself, my family, and others.  

​

On my transformational journey, I healed my relationship with food, developed strategies for managing chronic conditions, implemented sustainable habits, lowered my stress levels, enforced boundaries to maintain peace, and accomplished many goals including becoming an Amazon best selling author and authoring Radiant Living: A Journey To Holistic Wellness, a faith-based personal development and self-care guided journal for your mind, body, and spirit and co-authoring Joy 365, A Devotional for Joy Restoration.
