Health & Wellness Coach Susan James

If you could change anything in your life, what would it be? Are you on a journey of self discovery, purposeful intent, transformation, or healing? Beauty is constant and is always around and within us.

Susan is blessed with the gift of healing.  She is compassionate, intuitive, and a knowledgeable practitioner.  Each time I work with Susan I leave my sessions feeling more balanced, energized, and lovingly cared for. In fact, her energy clearing sessions are one of the most effective sessions I have ever had.  I would highly recommend working with Susan. You’ll love her.
~ Mary S.

Sometimes when in transition – whether is it focusing self care or healing, support is needed in the process.  I am available to come alongside you to help guide you “home” as you implement the desired changes that nourish your authentic self.  Health and Energy Coaching is a way to become all that you are meant to become and maximize personal effectiveness.

No matter where you are, or what challenges you face, the Circle of Life coaching process will help you identify your strengths, define your goals, and move forward in life. People from all walks of life have found the Circle of Life system to be effective and personally rewarding.  Corporate executives, parents, medical professionals, social workers, teachers, students, business teams, senior citizens, ministry professionals, therapists and other  professionals have all experienced breakthroughs in their lives and work.

In the Circle of Life group I enjoyed the accountability and time with others who are ready for in depth connections.  Susan is able to keep me focused and has a gentle spirit, inspiring trust.
~ Karen R.

The holistic health & energy coaching I do can be customized to meet the needs of groups, individuals, schools, businesses, organizations, and families. Circle of Life classes generally meet over a two to four month period of time, in a variety of formats to meet client needs.  The process is designed to teach practical stress mastery skills, as well as tools for achieving lasting change.

The collective energy as a group, the inspiration from Susan and other members helped me meet my goals by being accountable and partnered up.  Susan gently encouraged us to share but did not make it seem like we had to.  She created a safe environment to share stories and to provide feedback for one another.  I have a better sense of self and realize how important and essential self care is and how it affects the different aspects of life and the people in our circle.
~ Dinah S.

Participants enjoy the support of their peers and benefit from shared resources and experiences. Individual coaching and wellness consulting is also available.  A more customized approach is an effective way to encourage change, move through obstacles, and achieve your goals.  Coaching sessions can be in person, via email, skype, phone, or a combination of these modes.

As your Health & Wellness Coach, below is an example of how I can assist you in a Six-Phase Approach to:

1. Learn an intention; recognize challenges and strengths
2. Clarify and set goals along with affirmations
3. Schedule realistic action steps,
4. Review and set your own custom process,
5. Set-up accountability, and
6. Engage in an effective and supportive personal improvement process that will take you from where you are to where you want to be!

Without reservation, I would recommend Susan for her support as a Health and Wellness coach, her Circle of Life classes, EFT training, and energy work.  My experience of Susan is she is kind and caring, insightful and sensitive, supportive and willing to motivate to keep things moving.  Susan walks her talk, and is truly an inspiration and role model for excellent self care, including stress mastery, nutrition, exercise.

I have found her to have wonderful expertise in many areas that support continued growth and healing.  Susan has a way about her and seems to sense what is called for in any given moment or session.  At times, when I have been discouraged, Susan seems to know what to say to help me shift things and move on.  If you are healing or want to transform your life, do yourself a favor and receive what Susan has to offer.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) With Health & Energy Coaching, I often use the benefits of the easy-to-use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) in my practice here on Bainbridge Island. This is an example of just one of the energy work modalities I offer.  In your journey towards holistic wellness, EFT is very useful to enhance one’s health by freeing one’s

• mind (i.e. limiting beliefs or judgments),
• emotions (i.e. stress, anxiety),
• spirit (i.e. connection to true self and others), and
• body (physical ailments),

…which all support optimal well being! I’ve taught EFT to clients to help remove negative emotions/stress, eliminate pain, and implement positive goals into their lifestyle. Sometimes called psychological acupressure, EFT is a self-administered tapping technique based on the same energy meridians used in acupuncture to treat physical and emotional illnesses with simple (and painless!) tapping on different acupressure points with your fingertips.  I offer an EFT class which meets consecutively for four weeks called Tapping for Wellness.  I also host a monthly Meridian Based Tapping EFT circle at the Dayaalu Center.

Susan has individually coached me with EFT on a wide variety of areas – from a serious sports injury to stress mastery and spirituality. At the beginning, she even helped me break through feeling guilty about having a focus of self care in my life! Through the application of techniques like breathing and meditation, she’s helped me achieve balance both at work and home. Individual health coach sessions with Susan are well worth the time and highly recommended!
~ S.J.

The kinetic energy applied to specific meridians while you vocalize positive affirmations becomes an empowering and effective remedy in your Health & Wellness toolkit. This action-thought combination can quickly clear emotional blockages from your bioenergy, restoring balance to your mind and body. For more information on EFT, please see this excellent summary by Dr. Mercola. Please see my other pages on this website for information about my training and other energy healing modalities (i.e. ThetaHealing®).

Is there an area of your life – nutrition, stress mastery, health care, life purpose – that needs immediate attention?  Please let me know how I can assist you. The fastest way to reach me is via email at susan (at) susanjames (dot) me. I look forward to speaking with you soon, and I wish you much success on your personal journey of optimal health and healing!

I recently suffered from frozen shoulder, a very painful and debilitating idiopathic disorder, that severely restricts shoulder and upper body movement. I lived with chronic pain for 9 months which significantly restricted my ability to exercise, work, and complete even the simplest tasks of everyday living. I received months of physical therapy and massage with no therapeutic effect. I was discouraged and ready to give up when Susan suggested I try using EFT.

After two one hour sessions with Susan I was thrilled to experience a significant lessening of shoulder pain and a gradual but steady increase in range of motion. With consistent use of EFT over time,  my shoulder pain lessened each week and movement returned to near normal. I am convinced my sessions with Susan and the EFT techniques she taught me helped to increase positive energy flow which helped my body turn the corner toward health. Thank you, Susan!

What is the ThetaHealing®Technique?

ThetaHealing is a meditation technique developed by Vianna Stibal where the practitioner uses the Theta brainwave to positively change the mind, body, spirit of the client.  This Unconditional Love energy healing modality uses Creator energy of All That Is to help reach one’s fullest potential by removing any limiting subconscious beliefs at four levels: core, genetic, historical, and soul.

During a session the client is conscious and awake giving permission step by step for any changes they would like to receive.  It is a gentle, safe, and effective approach to improving one’s life by making changes at a cellular level that could be causing stress or disease in a person’s life.  It works complimentary with western/eastern medicine and can help heal physical ailments addressing the metaphysical cause of disease and pain.

Prerequisite: Basic DNA ThetaHealing. The Advanced ThetaHealing Seminar expands the information in the Basic Seminar to encompass an in-depth understanding of all that surrounds us and for students to become more fluent in the ThetaHealing technique.

The student will learn how to clear old resentments, vows, and commitments that hold them back. The student will discover how to heal with new exercises such as “Heal the Broken Soul”.  The student will receive feelings and downloads that can bring about profound healing and deepened spiritual understanding.

In this seminar students are filled with many new and positive feelings such as knowing how to appreciate the now and what self acceptance feels like with being connected to Creator at all times.  This is the second foundational ThetaHealing class that will help students be more able to use ThetaHealing in their everyday life as well as with others.
