My Approach
We are all unique, multifaceted people, with complex challenges that require careful and thoughtful attention to determine the root causes of the difficult and often painful ways we experience our life. A Mind-Body-Spirit approach appreciates the interplay among all aspects of who you are and integrates this holistic perspective into the process of healing and growth.
The Process
Exploring and coming to understand experiences from your past, always within the context of how they may be currently holding you back, keeps you on track and moving forward. The work involves a deep internal process of self-discovery and ongoing supportive coaching to emerge more fully into who you are meant to be.
Getting to Know You
During our first meetings you will have the opportunity to share with me important aspects of who you are, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This includes your goals and values, your dreams and fears; your strengths and weaknesses; what is working, and what is not; what brings joy, and what brings suffering.
Your Unique Journey
Together we explore what we find, and the next steps emerge. Your journey will be unique to you, based on your needs and aspirations.

Woman-Centered Coaching
The Essential Course for the Awakening Woman was created by Dr. Claire Zammit, PhD. You will work closely with Susan as your guide through this transformational experience.
Deciding to work with me as your partner, is a conscious choice for change. It is a commitment to consider new ways of seeing yourself and your life experiences. The shifts and insights that happen throughout this work begin to manifest in your current life with new feelings, thoughts and behaviors, new experiences that take you closer to the core – the heart of who you are- where new possibilities emerge.
Becoming a Client
“Working with Susan Lord over the years has been one of the most important parts of my health and wellness journey. She listens carefully, offering her experience and leaving me feeling hopeful. Struggling with chronic anxiety over the years, I found I could trust Susan's guidance because her holistic approach is grounded in her expertise in western medicine.
She is more than a health professional; she is a healer. I have learned so much about ways I can help myself by making small adjustments to my diet, sleep, and patterns of self-talk. I recommend Susan ten-fold and in fact, I need to have a tune-up session with her soon. To me, she's a lifelong member of my team.” S.
