In her spare time she loves walking in nature, traveling, rubber stamping, learning about the mind/body/spirit connection, nutrition, fitness, natural remedies, and pretty much anything to do with health. Sue tells her story about how she came to find her passion and purpose…
“Recently, I have been recovering from a stubborn broken ankle – a souvenir from my trip to the Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica in 2007. It just so happened that I was in the middle of working on my bachelor’s degree in psychology when I fell, so my senior thesis topic became, naturally, the psychological effects of traumatic injury. These are some photos from my ‘trip’…”
“Spending countless hours researching about traumatic injury and other losses has shown me that there are many mind/body/spirit effects that happen when a person suffers an injury, unexpected surgery, sudden illness, or other life transition.
I am passionately drawn to this topic and will be studying it further in my Master’s program. Because I feel an urgent desire to help others who are struggling and simply cannot wait to finish years of education in order to get started, I am also studying under some amazing professional coaching mentors in order to learn how to coach – guide, encourage, and gently nudge – people to be able to not just “get better” but actually thrive and grow during the healing process.
I look forward to meeting and helping people who have experienced a sudden change in life and may have become stuck, or just need a hand to move forward. If you think this is something you would like to know more about, just contact me and we will see if there is way we can work together.
Here’s a photo of my hubby and me standing on a glacier in Alaska just 2 1/2 years after my adventure in Costa Rica… proof that it IS possible to thrive following a traumatic injury and difficult recovery.”
