    Trace, LTD.

  • "In my work with Suzanne I have experienced an increased self-awareness which has allowed me to be more informed of my own actions and reactions and their impact on myself and others. Through this self-awareness, I was also able to become a more authentic leader as I had a clear understanding of what I stood for. I align my work and leadership to my principles. I also experienced a heightened physical awareness and learned how I respond physically, specifically to stress, and gained tools and practices to address this for greater centeredness and overall well-being."
