Thank you for orchestrating a session that led to such rich insight, Susan Grace. Your work is a reminder that the "better story” is within reach – and you help me reach it!

I love working with Susan because she helps me see so clearly how a simple shift in my thinking can help me let go of frustration and anxiety. Every conversation with her helps me focus on how I really want to be and lays out a clear and easy path for getting there.

Susan has become the little voice in the back of my head that supports me and reminds to take action. As I go through my days, I notice myself thinking, “what did I promise myself?” Each time I talk to Susan, I want to be able to report back on what I gained or learned from being awake to my own hopes and desires and taking the actions that support them.

For a while my husband asked me, “What do you get from talking to Susan?” Then, after a month of serious life stresses, including a death in the family, work deadlines, and other trauma, he said, “Wow, you’ve been so calm, I didn’t even realize how much we’ve been dealing with.”
