It was the day she helped her youngest son move out. His final box had been loaded. The hugs were warm. The future was bright for him. She drove home alone. Parked in the driveway. And then froze. She could not go inside. Her chest seized. Her throat closed. Panic flooded her like a tsunami. The silence inside the house no longer felt like peace; it was a prison. She was terrified of being alone with herself. Her identity as a mother, a leader, a doer, had evaporated in one empty house. She had achieved everything, except herself.
In hindsight, the signs had always been there. The body keeps score. She had battled chronic injuries that sabotaged her competitiveness. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, a condition that left her foggy, fatigued, and inflamed. She struggled with waves of anxiety and sleepless nights, masked by protein shakes and gym sessions. She didn’t know it then, but her body was screaming what her mind refused to hear: “Slow down. Go inward. You're not okay.”
That breaking point pushed her into the unknown. She wasn’t interested in years of talk therapy; she had talked plenty. She needed relief. That’s when she found Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). She began with self-hypnosis, and astonishing things happened. Chronic running pain disappeared. Her Hashimoto’s symptoms quit. Inadequacies began to vanish, some buried voice began to rise. But the true metamorphosis came when she worked one-on-one with an RTT therapist. In just one session, the heavy cloak she’d been wearing for decades unraveled. She accessed memories she hadn’t consciously remembered, moments of childhood scarcity, rejection, and fear. RTT didn’t just give her insight. It gave her freedom. The internal kind. The kind you can feel in your bones.

One of Susan's most memorable speaking experiences occurred at a wellness conference where she shared her insights on nervous system regulation. Attendees were deeply moved by her candid storytelling and the practical tools she provided for managing stress. Feedback from participants highlighted how her talk not only educated them but also inspired them to make tangible changes in their lives, reinforcing the importance of her work.

As a runner all her life (15 marathon medals over the last 12 years), she began, say 3yo, running from homeless men who came into her house. They slept on the beds & stole everything. So growing up in poverty, with broken windows & a front door that wasn’t on hinges, as a little kid, she’d walk through the slanted opening. In winters, for the brutal cold, she’d put her clothes in the oven to get warm. All 5 siblings are a year apart, except for the youngest. There was never any smell of home cooking. Mom was incarcerated for stealing food. Never heard praise, let alone dinner conversations. Dad had to work 2 full-time jobs since he had no high school diploma or skills coming to the US at 15. Dinner would be a quart of milk for the 7 of them.
The point of why she's telling you this is why she does what she does today. 4 years ago, she found Marisa Peer & was totally mesmerized by RTT. Having a math degree, a science-based brain, she needed to see to believe, but being open-minded & thought, “What could it hurt if she tried what Marisa was saying?”
After all, as a runner, running from the homeless, till today, she now runs every day to stay in shape, she even ran this morning in the dark. I don't know who remembers this adage, ‘no pain, no gain’? All runners have physical pain, from the pounding. So, doing RTT on herself, her back & knee pain disappeared. No more having to smell Ben Gay. Since she was pain-free, could she rid her Hashimoto’s? For those who don’t know, Hashimoto's is a thyroid disease, and the thyroid controls your moods, sleep, & metabolism. The thyroid is supposed to be a pink walnut. Hers was all out of shape with nodules. At her next endocrinologist visit, the ultrasound showed a perfect pink walnut! Of course, the endocrinologist was shocked.
After these physical healings, she thought, with childhood neglect, if RTT worked on her physical, could it work on her emotional issues of low self-confidence? Well, now she's a founder & both an International speaker & International bestselling author, finished her 5th book. RTT has transformed her life, so she decided she had to heal others.

Susan's journey into health and wellness began with her own experiences of overcoming stress and anxiety. Recognizing the profound impact that emotional and psychological challenges can have on one's life, she was inspired to explore methods that promote healing and personal growth. This led her to become a practitioner of Rapid Transformational Therapy, where she could guide others on a path to recovery and empowerment.
