Meet Susana Crispin
Hola, I’m Susana! My own wellness journey has led me to serve you and others who want to improve health and live fuller lives. I’m drawn to especially serve those who might feel they don’t have the time, budget or resources needed to do so, because we all deserve the opportunity to prevent, improve or even reverse chronic conditions. My personal experiences with fibromyalgia, endometriosis, thyroid problems and at one point, pre-Diabetes, have taught me what it takes to make changes I could embrace as a new, healthier lifestyle. As a result, I’ve significantly improved my chronic conditions. And as a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I’m here to help you do the same!
My approach
I believe in the connection between Positive Psychology and the Neuroscience of Behavior Change as catalysts for making lifelong behavioral changes to improve wellbeing.
Through my holistic approach, we will discuss every aspect of your life and how each impacts your whole self.
I’m your partner throughout, and happy to collaborate with your doctor or healthcare provider. I’m here to understand and guide you, hold you accountable and help you transform habits and health!
I believe that with a little help, individuals have the capacity to grow and thrive, and am honored to be part of this process.
Experience my approach and what helps me maintain a healthy lifestyle on my Spanish Youtube channel, Naturalmente Suzy, or by scheduling a Discovery Session here.
