(she/her)

As an Emotional Expression Coach, Joyologist and Author, I love helping people find and feel the joy in all emotions and experiences in life. Often we’ve been told it’s not right to feel certain things or to hide and mask them if we do and to be very careful how we express them. I know well from years of personal experience living the “hide and stuff your emotions and put on a happy face way of life”. However, thanks to some hard knocks of life and difficult challenges that I’ve had the opportunity of growing through, I have now come to believe that we must feel it in order to heal it.

We are energetic beings full of infinite light and potential and are meant to experience great love and joy in life regardless of our circumstances. Emotion by its very nature and definition is: “energy in motion”. Understanding and expressing that energy in motion through the powerful connection of mind, body and spirit is one of the greatest joys we can experience in life.

Some ways that I enjoy living my life of energy in emotion are through hiking, kickboxing and yoga. I love being in nature, meditating and connecting with the earth, hugging trees and splashing in water. I enjoy deep conversations with my kids talking about various topics, challenges of life, discussing the themes and sharing thoughts and insights on the latest TV show or movie we watched. I love to write and I enjoy savoring the sweet delight of dark chocolate and ice cream. I like to learn new languages and travel to new places and meet and connect with new people. Sharing our stories and discovering the beautiful tapestry of life that we all weave together in this wonderful world is something quite remarkable to experience.

eleMental Healing would like to give Sue thanks and credit for designing our website and coming up with the concept of our Community of Resilience and the ability for the public to share their experiences.  Even though she has no formal therapy training, she understands mental health, spirituality, and the importance of connection more than most. We value her wisdom, strength, and good will to the world.
