“I attended and co-sponsored Susan’s “Conscious, Compassionate Communication Skills” seminar for social workers and case managers at Brandywine Independent Living in Melville on 10/25/16. I loved her seminar, and so did the whole audience based on the feedback I received. It was great for me as a co-sponsor. I was able to re-connect to and set up meetings with several people there I had known, re-opening doors that might have otherwise been closed. I found it to be a very valuable experience."
Linda West, Director of New Business Development, All Metro Health Care, at All Metro Offices

FROM AUDIENCE PARTICIPANTS:

A LETTER OF RECOGNITION FROM:
Pamela Winter, Director of Community Relations, Somerset Gardens Senior Living, and Board Member of the Women’s Financial Group, Long Island NY Chapter
I met Susan at the Long Island, NY Employee Assistance Professionals Association. She spoke on “Innovative Guided Imagery and Introspection Processes for Addiction Treatment.” We learned and practiced very relaxing techniques to help curb self-destructive behaviors. Among 50 people that were all almost hypnotized, you could hear a pin drop. I could have stayed and listened to Susan for hours.
This seminar was eye-opening for me. She took me to a place I never knew existed – to the often vulnerable emotions that occur in the moments before acting automatically or compulsively. “Rewinding the film” to those moments and pausing to feel, for example, the hurt that precedes an anger outburst – was a powerful technique. It reminded me of golf, where you first pause during your backswing to balance yourself, and really ready yourself to aim.
I thought Susan’s interactive presentation was amazing. I told everyone I saw about it. I then invited her to present again at The Women’s Financial Group on Long Island where she spoke on the related topic of “Moving Past Your Professional and Personal ‘Stuck Points’ Using Guided Imagery and Introspection Processes.”
The second talk was even better than the first. We discussed beliefs getting in our way of progress, and on a deep, subconscious level, replaced them with healthier ones. In this intimate space of 33 women, we voiced our personal struggles with food, the pain and guilt of caring for an elderly parent – things we wouldn’t have even admitted to ourselves. It was empowering, cleansing and cathartic for us all.
Susan has changed my life. If you really want to learn about yourself, get to the bottom of what holds you back and then move forward, hire Susan. In her wellness and emotional health seminars and coaching, she’ll make you feel relaxed and safe, and help get you “unstuck.”
