Suzanne - Lactation Consultant, Health Coach and Yoga Teacher

My true joy in life is my family!  My passion in life is health and wellness!  Through years of searching for the best alternatives for myself and my family, as well as formal education, I am able to bring the best, supportive care to those I work with.

As a Doula and Lactation Consultant, I bring a holistic approach to those I work with, offering families physical, emotional and educational support at this very beautiful and transformational time.   My passion is working with moms experiencing anxiety during the prenatal period and anxiety/depression in the postpartum period.  My philosophy of care is to meet each woman exactly where they are and to support your vision of motherhood.  

Over a decade ago I began my health coaching career and have worked with a broad range of clients.  My focus these days is working with those experiencing chronic illness.  Living with a chronic illness, myself, has given me the personal experience I need to be acutely aware of the experiences of those that I work with.

My love of movement and dance brought me to Yoga Teacher Training and I offer classes in the greater Portland Maine area and continue to offer them online through the Yoga with Suzanne community as well as virtually and through our monthly membership site.

Most of my services are offered in person and virtually, however, some situations require in person appointments.
