Susan Living BHSc

Susan’s love for health and happiness began at a young age. From Band-Aids on Barbies to making natural skin care products and her own toothpaste, meditating for 10 hours a day and completing a 40 day fast on water, her quest for ever improving health and vitality continues.

She began her career in health in 1996 as an acupuncturist, remedial massage therapist and non-medicated detoxification specialist. Susan is trained in nutrition, counselling and herbal medicine. She’s a Fellow of her professional association and a qualified trainer. She’s worked extensively in relaxation centres and multi-modality clinics and from hotels, houses and homes she has run successful businesses. Susan spent time working with migrants through translators with Queensland Program of Assistance to Survivors of Torture and Trauma, has volunteered in addiction treatment clinics and as a LifeLine counsellor and developed and ran a health clinic within a centre for those with abuse and addiction issues. Recently, she’s travelled around helping miners and truck drivers stop smoking and working in her own business helping people find practical solutions to stress and anxiety in their lives.

As a health coach, Susan doesn’t diagnose or pigeonhole people: she simply works with an individual towards achievable outcomes – namely greater peace of mind and improved physical health and functioning.

She also works as a “health broker”, connecting people with leading and qualified health professionals in their local area. Susan organises practical seminars on many aspects of health in everyday life and works in small businesses to help employers find simple and affordable ways to promote the health and happiness of their team. She is a speaker and writer and regularly contributes to Brisbane Woman, Empowering Women and QCG Magazine.

On the bigger picture side of things, Susan is developing an international community of health care professionals working together to change the way medicine is viewed, accessed and delivered.
