"I am so grateful to Susie for her pivotal role in my transformation.  Susie gave me hope and provided gentle but consistent advice. I have developed a much deeper sense of who I am, what I want, and where I’m going.

The process is organic, as you let go of the struggle to lose weight, you gain in confidence and self-esteem and the momentum gets easier. I used to be a diet tight-rope walker. If I deviated from my diet in any way, I fell off. Now the tight-rope is gone. 

I have transformed my relationship to food resulting in a 100+ pound weight loss and have been off my RA medications for 6-7 years."   

Brenda L., Kirkland, WA

"Susie is a kind, empathetic and patient coach." 

“I’m so excited about the coaching.  It really is making a life changing difference for me.

I had given up hope of ever being free of the chains of food and body obsession.  

What you’ve given me already is a most precious gift!  Hope!  Your work is truly priceless.”   

Mary M., gallery owner and artist

“I’ve known Susie for years and have worked with her professionally for several years now. 

She’s down to earth, smart, and realistic. 

She’ll set you on the right path and give you great ideas about how to feed your body and soul.” 

Peter S., educational philanthropist, author, and teacher

“Whatever I focus on, I will get done."

  "Susie helps me define my priorities, keeps me on task, and makes me responsible for completing them."

Richard F., corporate videographer, and ship’s captain

“Being indirectly accountable to Susie...

I’ve become directly accountable to myself.”

Bonnie N., Senior Records Analyst, Microsoft 

“We’re much more in tune with the consequences and commitments to other people, than the consequences and commitments to ourselves. 

Coaching with Susie helped me realize that in a big way.”

Therese K., student

“More Than A Life Coach."  

I had the pleasure of meeting Susan Casserd at a horse barn, where our professional relationship started. She is packed with life experiences that are so broad spectrum that it continues to amaze me as we work together. I can approach her with any subject, and she will supply the much needed material for thought as I deal with my life scenario. 

Affectionately, I call her ‘Sarge,’ for she will hold me accountable toward my life goals. All my dealings with food, life, and exercise are taught with kindness by Susan.  Even though we are of different spiritual belief backgrounds, we meet on common ground on this subject with utmost respect.”

Beth T., Boys & Girls Club

“Susie, the girls were still talking about it even after you left...

I really believe the impact was awesome. 

I cannot thank you enough for being an available resource for these girls, it is exactly what they need.”

Zena B., student

“My action plan is working great.  I found out Friday that I didn’t get one of the jobs that I really wanted.  I thought about bingeing for maybe a second and then decided that I wanted to deal with the disappointment in a different way.

What a relief, it’s like a big burden has been lifted off of me. I am holding myself accountable and I’m not able to hide anymore, it’s not just ‘my’ little secret. 

Just by committing to the sessions and group meetings I feel like I have a mechanism in place, to support making behavior changes.  I have the support I need to feel secure and make changes.”

Alice L., 8^th Grade Social Studies teacher

“Dear Susie, thank you so much for taking the time to come and speak to my class about eating disorders. 

Your input has helped their research tremendously. 

I appreciated your honesty with the kids—it really opened their eyes!”

Maria F., nutrition counselor

"In our sessions she repeated the main principles that could help me and understood how difficult it was to put into practice. 

She gave ample examples and explained the science behind it while encouraging me to look at the solution instead of the problem. 

Eventually, I was able to look past the hurdles and put in place the practices, boundaries and mental attitude to move forward with my life with better self-care and outlook."
