Christina, NYC

"After my first session with Susan, I left with a feeling of peace, joy, happiness. Susan knows where I'm coming from. She doesn't tell me what to eat or what not to eat because it's not just about the food.... it's a life changing experience. Before I came to see Susan, recovering seemed so hard, so heavy. But now, my whole life is changing...evolving. With Susan's help my life has become so much more simple, peaceful, brighter, lighter, and fun. I'm giving myself a break.... after all these years I realize I can stop trying to be perfect.

"Susan's approach to healing is simply the best thing I've come across in my recovery from disordered eating. Both in our private sessions and in the group meditation workshop she is full of wisdom, empathy, and positive energy."

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same."

"Words cannot explain how much Susan has helped me, only the glow in my face, which I have missed for many years, can. Before I came to see her, my world was black and white, in complete extremes, just like my cycle of constant dieting and binges. After working with her I finally found my balance. I learned to take life by the minute, really savor it and myself, instead of constantly making myself, and my body one big project for the future. She also taught me to finally ENJOY food, most importantly without guilt.

I am 20 years old and I started struggling with food when I was 16. I had always been very active, athletic, and healthy. I remember eating occasionally for comfort, after going through a difficult move and my parents’ divorce. A few months later, under pressure from demanding high school sports teams, I started dieting. I was always a good student and a bit of a perfectionist, and the diet soon became extreme and dangerous until I was diagnosed and hospitalized with anorexia nervosa. For three years after my hospitalization I struggled to continue my recovery.

While I have had an unhealthy relationship with food and my overall body image my entire life, I spent 10 years attempting to "fix" myself in a more traditional process focusing on feelings of anxiety and depression. I would go through the motions to be social, but I had never felt so alone and the only comfort I found was through binge eating. It wasn't until I began working with Susan that I started to feel hope for a happy and peaceful life. I am not only healing my relationship with food and my body, but altering my entire life to reflect the person I really am.

"In the eight months that I have been working with Susan, I have made more significant strides in my recovery than in the entire four years I have been struggling with anorexia. Although we have been focusing on the food aspect, my progress has been more holistic; it is not just about eating better, but about being better. I do not consider myself fully recovered, but Mindfulness has brought me a better understanding of the things that need to be in place for me to continue in the process.

Oriana, CT

"I’ve been in recovery from an Eating Disorder for the past three years. Four months ago I contacted Susan because I felt stuck in my recovery and was looking for a fresh perspective. Susan brought a unique approach to my recovery and with her many years of experience was quickly able to understand the challenges and fears I was struggling with on a daily basis.

Barbara, NYC, NY

"Susan’s guidance has given me hope with a problem that has plagued me for 15 years. She is extremely knowledgeable and caring, and I felt safe and at ease with her. Within the first few minutes of my 1st session, she zeroed in on my food/body struggles and concerns and addressed them on my level. She gave suggestions, which were practical for me to implement the same day and beyond. My fears are reducing and my happiness increasing as I recover."
