Susanne has been a PHENOMENAL coach for me! As an early 50s, permimenopausal, already small woman with not much weight to lose, the deck certainly felt stacked against me. I had a lot of bias to work through around some of the ideas that we have all heard around the dreaded SCALE. She was very patient with me as I worked through my headspace and evolved my attitudes. She just kept repeating, reinforcing, and leveraging situations to help me understand this and she never gave up on me. I whined a lot, cried a lot, complained a lot but she was very patient and empathetic. Probably the very best thing she does, though, is not just answer the question - she always gave me a different perspective to think about, and more information to view situations holistically versus just how I thought they'd be viewed. She helped me understand how my sleep, nutrition, stress and energy are all related and helped me simplify things for a while. In clearing some of this headspace, and armed with this extra education, I was able to focus on the real task at hand: the MENTAL work I needed to do to reframe my relationship with food and pay better attention to my body and its needs. However, I had to do my part by listening, and accepting and setting aside my biases and trusting the process. There are good days and bad days. It all comes with the territory. Susanne has the patience of a saint, the wisdom of a sage and the heart of a giant. THANK YOU! I love you! To anyone looking for coaching: GO FOR IT. I recommend at least 6 months to help you get through most daily and special occasion type situations, depending on your needs and lifestyle. Then get ready to be really, really honest with yourself. Ask your coach ALL the questions. Every single one of them. Some of this is an exercise in humility. Some of it is in self-reflection, confidence, acceptance. It is hard to admit when habits aren't good and even harder to change them, but the goal here IS a positive outcome and believe me, it's worth it. It will ultimately benefit you in ways you didn't even realize that it could.
