“As a first time coaching client, I wasn’t quite sure how the process would work. Coaching with Susanna exceeded my expectations and helped me to gain tremendous momentum in a short period of time.
Susanna is so easy to talk with; her warmth, presence, curiosity and deep listening were what I needed to shape my aspirations into manageable goals and to experience movement and progress. Susanna asked thought provoking questions, held me gently accountable and provided support and resources in and out of sessions to keep me on track. Susanna is such a skilled and compassionate coach! I am thrilled with the results!”

“I had the pleasure to receive coaching from Susanna during a particularly difficult period of multiple transitions in my life. Susanna provided invaluable guidance, helping me to navigate my own voice and articulate my path in this experience. This was my first time working with a coach, and I was unsure of what to expect in the relationship before we began. What I particularly appreciated about this experience were the ways in which Susanna helped to ease me into the coaching relationship, while being clear about processes and outcomes for our time together. Knowing that this process was mine to define and guide was a refreshing framing. She allowed me to express and define my goals for our time together, and the ways in which our communication could be most effective. She asked incredibly thought-provoking questions that gently challenged me to dig deeply into my own visions for the future.
After each session, I had clear self-work to explore and questions for reflection. Susanna is a warm, compassionate person, and I recommend her whole-heartedly for anyone looking for guidance, support, and a confidential ear.”

“Susanna began her work with me only after assuring that we had clear goals for our time together. Having never used coaching before, I had some fairly lofty and vague ideas for what I wanted. Gently, clearly, and skillfully Susanna asked probing questions that resulted in clear goals. Spending this time at the beginning meant that my work during our sessions was clear and purposeful.
Perhaps the most important thing to know about Susanna is that she comes to the table with this wonderful mixture of emotional intelligence and goal directed skills. Coaching is different than anything I’ve done before. I was fearful that my emotional life would be secondary to my professional goals/needs. Susanna instinctively knows how to weave both together.
I felt supported, seen, and encouraged during my time with Susanna. She challenged me to push against some of my insecurities and I was glad to do so because of the way she engages. I also identified goals that were practical and impactful. I made use of my work with her almost immediately. I will definitely be back!”
