ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Susan!
I’m a certified nutrition coach, proud mom of two incredible girls (and
one very handsome four-legged boy), wife, and lifelong fitness
enthusiast. I know what it’s like to be busy, to juggle work, family, and
life’s constant demands and how easy it is to put your own health last on
the list.
That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help others find balance,
confidence, and joy in their wellness journey without guilt, overwhelm,
or perfectionism.
Over the years, I’ve worked with individuals at every stage of life:
- High school athletes looking to fuel performance
- College students navigating independence
- Graduates ready to take control of their health
- Expectant and new moms learning how to nourish their bodies and babies
- Busy families trying to make healthy meals work with real-life
schedules - Adults navigating midlife changes and prioritizing longevity
My approach is always judgment-free, realistic, and rooted in progress over perfection.To me, wellness starts in the kitchen with food that’s simple, flavorful, nourishing, and enjoyable. It’s also about setting up your environment and daily habits to support better energy, better sleep, less stress, and long-term vitality.
I believe that living well doesn’t have to be complicated.
Together, we’ll create a lifestyle that feels sustainable, empowering, and aligned with your unique goals so you can feel your best at every stage of life.
MY STORY
The programs I’ve created didn’t just come from 13 years of
professional experience; they were born from my own
personal journey, one that spans over four decades of reallife trial, error, and growth.
Like so many others, I spent years stuck in the cycle of yo-yo
dieting and digestive discomfort, chasing every new plan
that promised results. I tried it all: Paleo, South Beach, juice
cleanses, vegetarianism, low-carb, low-fat, intermittent
fasting; you name it, I’ve probably tried it.
I would restrict, reset, and repeat, swinging from one extreme
to the next. Over time, all that inconsistency took a toll not
just on my body, but on my mindset. I know how exhausting
that cycle can be because I’ve lived it.
What finally created lasting change wasn’t another “fix”, it
was shifting my focus to nourishment, balance, and
sustainable habits. When I began fueling my body with real
food, prioritizing sleep, movement, and stress management,
everything changed, my health, my energy, my outlook.
Through research, professional training, and lived
experience, I’ve developed an approach that truly works not
just for midlife, but for every stage of life. From the high
school athlete learning how to fuel performance, to the
college student trying to stay healthy away from home, to the
graduate taking ownership of their health for the first time…
To the expectant or new parent navigating change, to the
busy family juggling it all, to the woman or man entering
midlife and beyond, this journey is for you.
I believe you can enjoy food, feel confident in your body, and
live with energy and purpose, without guilt, without
restriction, and without chasing perfection.
✨I’ve found the key and now I help others unlock it too. It’s
not about dieting. It’s about building a lifestyle that supports
how you want to feel; today, and for years to come.
CHANGE IS POSSIBLE
Food is more than fuel; it’s information for your body. And
because everybody is different, there’s no one-size-fits-all
way to eat. What works for one person might not work for
another, and your needs shift depending on your stage of
life.
Together, we’ll create a plan that feels simple, realistic, and
sustainable. Instead of focusing on restriction, we’ll focus on
what to add in. This will consist of nutrient-dense, whole
foods that give you energy, balance hormones, and support
your longevity. I’ll show you how to shop smarter, set up
your kitchen for success, and make meal prep easy (whether
that’s batch cooking, using an air fryer, grilling, or even
finding the best options for eating out).
I believe healthy eating should be enjoyable, not stressful. I’ll
help you learn how to read labels, choose products with
clean, recognizable ingredients, and find healthy swaps that
work for your lifestyle. Whether your goal is to maintain a
healthy weight, build muscle, feel more energized, or simply
make food less overwhelming, I’ll guide you every step of the
way.
As we age, or as life shifts through pregnancy, parenting, or
busy careers our nutrition needs evolve. That’s why I take a
proactive approach, giving you tools and strategies that not
only support your health now, but also help protect your
longevity in the years ahead.
The past is history; the future is unknown. What you do
today matters. Let’s create a lifestyle that helps you feel your
best and live better, longer. Change is possible and it starts
now.
WHAT I DO
I help women and men create healthy, sustainable lifestyles
that support energy, balance, and longevity at every stage of
life.
Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, navigating the
chaos of family life, or moving through the changes of
midlife and beyond, your body has unique needs. With the
right nutrition, support, and tools, you can feel strong,
confident, and energized without the stress of restrictive
diets or quick fixes.
My approach is rooted in real food, clean ingredients, and
balance. By focusing on lean proteins, whole carbohydrates,
fiber, and healthy fats, along with an active lifestyle and
stress management, we build a foundation that supports
your health long-term. I’ll help you set up your kitchen for
success, plan meals that fit your life, and make eating well
simple and enjoyable.
There’s no magic pill but with consistency, the right
guidance, and a plan tailored to you, change is absolutely
possible. My role is to give you the knowledge,
accountability, and encouragement to make that change
stick.
You don’t need perfection; you need a lifestyle that works for
you. Together, we’ll create it.
YOUR SUCCESS IS MY PASSION.
I'm living proof that it's never too early or too late to take
control of your health and create lasting change. I
understand what it feels like to try every quick fix and still
feel stuck. But I also know the incredible transformation that
comes with finding a path that’s sustainable, energizing, and
empowering. That’s why I’m deeply passionate about helping
others achieve the same.
For over 13 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with

And I'm a proud graduate of Syracuse University.
In 2017, I was honored to join the Slow Medicine Practitioner
Roundtable, where I collaborated with other professionals to

healing.
I’ve shared my knowledge with diverse audiences; speaking
to parents at preschools, students across all grade levels,
and high school athletic teams including baseball,
basketball, ice hockey, lacrosse, swimming, soccer, and

realize they can feel better, stronger, and more vibrant at
every stage of life. My unique approach blends science,

that you don’t have to do it alone.
