About Susan

I get to meet and inspire people from all over the world to create more of what they want in their one precious life!

My curiosity about humanity led me to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, and over twenty years ago I became a Professional Coach through the International Coaching Federation. I also trained as a Relationship Coach, and served as the Head Coach of the Heart Virtues program. More recently I co-created the LiveJOY Community, an online space for connection, reflection, and growth.

Alongside my professional experience, my life journey of transforming my challenges into my gifts—has been one of my greatest teachers. Listening to and following my JOY has also greatly enhanced my life. My own ongoing inner work and play, shapes how I listen, hold space, and support others to grow through what they go through.

I get to work globally via Zoom and on the phone. I also am grateful to live and work in person near beautiful Nelson, BC, where my husband and I raised our two now-grown sons. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, skiing, sledding, traveling, singing, reading, and indulging in dark chocolate.
