Let’s move forward, together.
I
Presence
Show up fully present, no matter what stage you find yourself on.
Whether you are stepping onto a new stage in your career, in your life or in front of a room, presence is how you meet the moment in body, heart (emotional intelligence), mind and soul. In Genius Presence Coaching and my online YogaMedCo studio, I share tools for optimizing your presence from the inside out, so that you can show up fully present in all of the roles that you play.
For over 30 years, I have been honored to coach high performers, leaders, creatives and coaches to show up with genius presence, on stage and off.
In a 2025 pilot study published in Academic Pediatrics, pediatricians who took part in Dr. Suzie’s coaching method, which combines movement and coaching, showed a statistically significant improvement in well-being over six months.
Prosperity
Move forward into your next era, where you grow your income and impact without losing your joy.
Join over 600 students in my Chakras of Business course and mentoring program who are answering their higher Calling to share their work with the world. Together, we are empowering each other to heal the hustle out of entrepreneurship.

Performance
The art and science of working well together.
Great work moves forward when people collaborate and bring out the genius in each other. Through the Moving Leadership™ model, I design custom, research-based keynotes and workshops that help your teams connect, communicate and perform at their best, together.
Join over 100 government agencies and organizations that I have been honored to help re-imagine and achieve their human and organizational performance potential.
