It is a gift to realize that your child’s potential doesn’t have a limit. But to realize your own possibilities are also unlimited is a tremendous breakthrough not to be missed! Susanna can help you unleash this potential within and start soaring in your own life.

From Susanna:

Ten years ago, my daughter Arizona was diagnosed with myriad challenges and special needs. I was in complete and utter shock. I mourned the vision I’d had for my life, and worried about all of the unknowns the future now held for her (and me). I experienced severe anxiety, and, after the newness of being a warrior mom wore off, fell into a deep and lengthy depression. I felt I needed to sacrifice the rest of my life to ensure that Arizona would have the best shot at her own life.

But what I slowly grew to understand was that the more I allowed myself to experience my own joy, recharge my batteries, and stay connected to the practice of self-care, the more I was able to be present for my daughter and tap into what her real needs were. I believe that we teach what we most need to learn, and I recognize the power in flowing with the ups and downs of this distinct journey. I will forever be dedicated to the health and wellness of special needs families like mine, and share everything that has been of help to me, so that I can be of continued service to you!
