In her private work Susie specialises in fat loss and sees clients each week in her private rooms at Kogarah in Sydney's south.

Susie offers a range of consulting services to meet the needs of busy professionals and their children. Susie understands that while good quality food nurtures optimally functioning bodies; the vast majority of people need their nutrition and fitness advice to be delivered via a supportive nutrition program that fits each person's lifestyle.

Susie draws on coaching psychology models to ensure that health and nutrition changes are self directed and do-able, to ensure each persons health and lifestyle goals are met long term. Nutrition coaching may be done through individual consultations, email or via the phone to ensure each person meets their targets.

In her spare time, Susie loves to escape the rush of Sydney to run around Wollongong's beautiful beaches, spendtime with her beloved Burmese cats Henry and Charlie, indulge in watching tacky American TV series and readinganything she can get her hands on.
