"MOVE gave me the accountability and focus that I needed at a very crucial time in my life.
Suzanne challenged me to create life-long habits that continue to guide me. I was forever changed by this ministry. God is using Suzanne in an amazing way, to bring healing and renewed strength to others.
I highly recommend MOVE. In fact, on my last day, I told Suzanne,
I feel like I could do this program once a year. Very refreshing and motivating!"

“I was at a pivotal place in my life where I needed to have some accountability and guidance on how to move forward. I am so grateful for Suzanne’s MOVE program. It was just the shift that I needed to help me navigate through a time in my life that I hadn’t yet experienced. Her daily encouragement and focus on scripture meditation and gratitude caused me to have disciplines that have continued to sustain me.
I want to share with you a quote she sent me from John Ortberg on spiritual transformation.
I have thought back on this many times since finishing her program:
’Spiritual transformation is: essential, not optional for Christ-followers;
A process, not an event; God’s work, but requires my participation.’
I feel like sometimes in life you have to dig deeper to get through or to get to where you want to be and that requires work on my part. It’s definitely a process but it is so worth it.
I highly recommend Suzanne’s program.
It will inspire you, guide you, and MOVE you to a place in life that brings fulfillment and joy!”

“Suzanne is so much more than a trainer; she is a gifted spiritual teacher and expert motivator.
I came to Move with Suzanne seeking a greater work-life balance.
Suzanne quickly helped me identify obstacles preventing me from achieving a healthier balance.
Her application of relevant scripture and biblical principles helped guide me
to change not only my mindset but also my daily habits.
Each week revealed practical, new, and personalized 'tools' to help me achieve my goal of purposeful living.
I highly recommend this program for anyone with a desire for personal, professional, and spiritual growth!”

“I was lost! I felt stuck and had no idea where God wanted me in my life. I had my faith and my wonderful family and friends but I was still grieving the loss of my husband, and missing my kids who both live out of state. I needed to make some life decisions, but I could no longer hear God speaking to me, and I could not move. Suzanne helped open my heart to God’s plan for my life! She has a truly unique and beautiful way of drawing a person out, of asking the tough questions and listening well. She had me tackle some negative things in my life that were keeping me from moving forward, and she helped me build God centered habits for everyday living that have been life changing! Suzanne is tireless and relentless in her pursuit of helping her clients see ourselves as God sees us, and of helping us accomplish our objectives. Becoming a ‘MOVE’ client has brought so much light into my life! Suzanne is a terrific leader, coach, mentor, and I’m now also proud to call her a friend!”

“I have been a Christian for over 40 years but was feeling stagnant in my faith. My walk with God was becoming monotonous and routine. Suzanne’s MOVE program helped me to regain my excitement and enthusiasm for growing my relationship with God. She is an incredibly gifted leader and motivator. I was even able to read the entire Bible in a year with her encouragement – something that I have attempted and failed at many times before. I highly recommend this program for everyone, no matter where you are in life or with your faith. Suzanne will help you get back on track and MOVE forward.”

"I have been meeting with Suzanne as a friend at Peet's coffee for many years. We both love coffee but what she doesn't know is how loved and cared for she makes me feel when I leave our coffee talks. Suzanne has a natural way of loving and connecting with people while gently encouraging them to continue to grow and learn from all seasons of life we find ourselves in. She is an incredible listener and asks questions I often don't think to ask myself. She has a great sense of humor which brings ease and comfort when you are around her. Being a spiritual trainer is something Suzanne has done for many years. She brings a depth of experience personally but also in how she has come alongside so many women as their cheerleader and mentor. A great investment to make is to take steps to be free of anything that hinders our ability to run well, the race set before us. Meeting with Suzanne will give you tools and new practices in your spiritual journey to MOVE through and to the abundant life God designed you and I to live! A life without regret but with purpose and meaning."

“I am so grateful for Suzanne and her MOVE program. I was at a place in my life after tragedy, feeling like I needed a new normal. Not knowing what a new normal looked like and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I knew I needed to move forward but didn’t have the motivation to do so on my own. Suzanne has come alongside and guided me, and given me practical tools and accountability to move forward spiritually, physically and practically.
I have regained my focus spiritually and am motivated on a daily basis to reach my weekly goals! I feel lighter and on a path to a new normal.”

“I met Suzanne at a time in my life when I was going thru a lot of stress emotionally and financially, as well as being stuck moving forward after selling a business I had for over 13 years. It was a very emotional time for me and I found myself not knowing what to do next. She was just starting MOVE and asked me if I would be willing to spend 8 weeks with her one day a week to help me move forward in my life. I didn't know her very well, but I just had a good feeling about her and knew she would be a good coach. Each week we met we studied Scripture in the Bible that related to my situation. She would pray for me and ask that I pray to God for guidance as well.
Not only did she help me to let go of any fear I had about the future but I credit Suzanne for bringing me to a closer relationship with Jesus. She encouraged me each time we met, gave me weekly Scriptures to read and journal about what we talked about. Suzanne's warmth, kindness, encouragement and her love of God helped me to trust in Him more and more everyday. In the 8 weeks we met, I found a job, my finances got better and I felt more at peace than I had in a long time. Since that time I joined her Bible study group of some amazing women who like Suzanne are so supportive. The one thing she reminded me of all the time was to not go it alone.
Suzanne is one of the kindest, loving people I know. If you need to move forward in your life or feel stuck and hopeless, she can help you get there.”

"I met Suzanne through a friend and from our first session
I knew this was going to be a life giving experience.
I was new to my faith and Suzanne coached me in spiritual disciplines
and gave me a biblical foundation in which I needed in order to build a healthy Christian life.
We meet once a week and it’s one of my first priorities to put on my calendar.
I’m so grateful for MOVE and would recommend it to anyone
who’s ready to get from where they are to where they want to be!"

"When I graduated college, I decided that I wanted a mentor. Everything in life was new and exciting! I felt like I was right at the beginning of really finding out who I was and where I wanted to go. I wanted someone to challenge me, hold me accountable, encourage me, walk me through what my dreams and aspirations were and made sure I followed through! I knew Suzanne growing up and always admired her love for God, her husband, her kids, her friends and her desire to experience the life God truly has for you. When I thought of who I should have mentor me, she immediately came to mind. She is someone I wanted to be more like. I have now been meeting with Suzanne for the last 4 years and my life has not been the same since! She has walked me through big decisions, major jobs changes, and all of life’s ups and downs. Every week I leave feeling more encouraged and inspired to do exactly what God has for me. She celebrates with me, talks me through difficulties and inspires me to be a better follower of Christ. My life wouldn’t be the same without Suzanne, she’s the real deal and is priceless to be around!"
