What are clients are saying...

I worked one-on-one with Susan Vannucci for about 6 months in 2011 and have had subsequent follow-up sessions since then as needed, especially in times of stress and falling back on an old habit of using sugar to deal with stressful situations.  My life was out of balance and my eating was totally out of control when we began working.  She was supportive, non-judgmental, a fantastic listener, and the program we developed was totally suited to me and my lifestyle.  I learned so much about my life and my eating and how chemistry and emotions were spiraling out of control and that there were tools I learned to use to get back in balance.  Do I slip sometimes?  Of course.  Do I ask for help?  Yes.  Is it there for me?  Always.

I started working with Su when I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. While the changes I needed to make were dramatic, each step felt completely achievable because Su was there to help me overcome the many obstacles I believed were holding me back (both real and self created). She provided individualized approaches to my unique challenges.   She was responsive, dedicated, passionate, honest, creative, and most importantly, non-judgmental.  I felt like I had real support while she guided me to my best path to lasting personal health.  I cried the first time I got a normal A1C and now, eight years later, I have continued to successfully avoid the diabetic diagnosis. I would not have been successful  if it wasn’t for Su’s support and expertise.

My Philosophy

My Philosophy

Here’s the problem- as we get older our muscle metabolism changes so that our bodies start to lose muscle mass and replace it with fat. This process is called sarcopenia and sad to say- but it starts in the 30’s. As our amount of lean muscle decreases we not only lost strength but our basal metabolic rate- or the amount of energy (calories) our bodies need every day becomes reduced – and that means weight gain! This process accelerates with age making it more and more difficult to even maintain – much less lose- weight. But there is an answer.

With a uniquely devised, personalized plan, tailored to your individual needs you will be able to achieve a lasting transition to a healthy, balanced lifestyle that will allow you to feel great, optimize your weight with healthy body composition, strength and flexibility - and maintain this for a long life. read more
