About Me
I’m here to help women redefine what it means to lead, with clarity, courage, and joy. As a certified Leadership Coach (ICF ACC) with a background in executive sales, yoga philosophy, and feminist theory, I bring a cheerful, earnest, and deeply compassionate lens to professional growth. I coach ambitious women who are done playing small—leaders, creatives, changemakers, and caregivers who are ready to take charge at work, at home, and in their communities.
My approach blends evidence-based executive coaching tools with Gestalt theory and embodied practices rooted in yoga and mindfulness. We don’t just talk in our coaching sessions - we pay attention to what your body is telling you, what your values are pulling you toward, and what’s getting in the way (internally and systemically). Whether you’re navigating a toxic workplace, working toward a promotion, or trying to build a career that doesn’t burn you out, I help you lead in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and deeply aligned.
Before becoming a coach, I spent years leading complex design projects and closing multi-million dollar sales deals. After burning out while raising three kids and trying to squeeze myself into a mold that never quite fit, I left my executive sales role to chart a different path. I earned my MA in Women, Gender, Spirituality & Social Justice, completed a 500-hour yoga teacher training, and became a certified coach through the Gestalt International Study Center (an ICF-accredited Level 2 program).
I know what it feels like to be ambitious and exhausted. But I also know what’s possible when women stop asking for approval and start trusting themselves. If you're ready to lead with boldness, clarity, and heart...let’s do this!
Reviews
I've had seven sessions with Susie so far, and Ive really valued her warm presence and positive energy throughout. She offers insightful reflections that helped me connect the dots between ideas, while also challenging me in a supportive way that encouraged growth. What I appreciated most was the way she created space for my own insights, while also sharing her perspective and experience when it was helpful. Her thoughtful summaries after each session were especially valuable, as they helped me to solidify my learnings and stay accountable to my actions. Working with Susie has been both supportive and inspiring, and I've come away with greater clarity and confidence.
