“Transformation begins the moment we release the weight.”
Healing isn’t linear—it unfolds in layers. The Spiral Path to Becoming Lighter™ is a compassionate approach to growth that helps you release what no longer serves you, reconnect with your inner strength, and move forward with greater clarity, ease, and purpose.
Whether you’re navigating transition, grief, loss, emotional overwhelm, or seeking deeper alignment, you don’t have to do it alone.
I offer private coaching, counseling, and courses to help you navigate difficult transitions between what was and what wants to emerge through evidence-based and faith-filled strategies.
Together, we create space, intentions and action for healing, growth, resilience, and transformation.
Professional Foundations
Susan’s professional certifications: Grief Counseling, Emotional Intelligence, Enneagram Professional Facilitator, DISC, Forgiveness, Art Therapy, and Stress & Change Management
Core Pillars
Healing and transformation begins with safety.
I work from an integrative perspective that honors the whole person.
Our experiences live not only in our thoughts, but in the body,
Growth is rarely linear. The spiral path revisits layers of healing with new awareness, strength and capacity each time.
Lasting change becomes possible when we meet ourselves with understanding vs judgment, shame or guilt.
The intention for every offering is to help you live more fully, love more deeply and move through life with greater resilience and peace.
Grief & Loss
“Susan has had a profound impact on Never Alone Widows. Her heart for those in pain is unmatched and not only does she crawl in the hole the women are in; but she powerfully combines her counseling and coaching certifications & training with years of experience to help people walk out and move forward. Susan has been a part of our prayer ministry and retreat teams since we launched our first retreat in 2018. She has made this ministry better with her presence and with the healing tools and workshops shared at our annual national conference. When Susan is a part of the experience, everyone is blessed by her YEARS of learning to experience God’s limitlessness so that others can know what is possible.

Lighter Course & Coaching
“In the midst of a transitional season, the Lighter program has ushered me from a busy, hurried, grumbly, barely surviving the day into a joyful, free and thriving place of His abundance and beauty. Susan’s invitations to live by the Spirit to make daily intentions, seek joy and beauty, offer daily forgiveness, release fear and surrender to Jesus are nothing short of transformative. I highly recommend this course and coaching to live lighter. Rachel Finneman, Billings, MT, Counselor
“I’m beyond thankful for all your wise teaching, helpful insights and practical guide to experience living open-handed and hopeful hearted. This course has been wonderfully curated…to living lighter, with more freedom, trust and surrender to our good and powerful Father God.”
Ann Schaub, Billings, MT, Women’s Ministry
Freedom in Forgiveness
“Susan has helped me see, believe, and understand spiritual truths in a new and profound way. The time I spent with her helped me gain breakthrough and healing that I have been searching for, for years. The simple and yet important tools she equipped me with will change how I pray, communicate, and understand healing and wholeness. I am incredibly grateful for her gentleness, kindness, and tenderness toward me as we process the deepest hurts and wounds in my heart. The Lord is using her in amazing ways."
