What Are Discovery Sessions For?
You know that invisible wall that comes up just when you decide to pursue a really meaningful goal or dream?
Well, Discovery Sessions are where you get the knowledge and skills to get past that wall without going to battle with it, so you can get where you want to go sooner and with way more joy and ease.
I use the word Discovery because my special gift is in helping you find out what’s behind that invisible wall and get to the bottom of the inner factors that have been blocking your success.
These factors are usually things that a part of you is actively working to keep hidden, so they’re not something that would come up in your average conversation or journaling pages.
I’ve been told over and over again that the magic happens when I hear the exact right question to ask you at the exact right moment and it’s like we said “open sesame” and what you need to know in yourself starts to bubble to the surface.
Are they right for you?
My ideal clients all have something meaningful they’re trying to do, but they’re finding themselves consistently blocked or in resistance to it. The obstacles could be coming up within themselves or in their outer world.
Their common quality is their strong desire to move forward and a sense that this calling is important to their life. It’s often something connected to their sense of purpose or a contribution they’re seeking to make.
And sometimes there’s been so much resistance that they haven’t gotten close enough to it to even know if it’s part of their path or not. They might be just starting out with the awareness of an irrational longing they feel compelled to follow or a secret dream they’ve never been able to take a single action on.
I’ve worked with people from all walks of life and common niches include writers, artists, entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches and other service professionals.
They generally have the following qualities and you’ll likely find a really good fit with my approach if you can see these in yourself:
• Ready to go deeper – you’ve done some inner work already and you recognize that the way you’ve been working has it’s limitations or that you may need a fresh perspective and some new insight to get past your current blocks
• Seeking real transformation – you’re looking for a new level of what’s possible for you, beyond just “tweaking” things in your current reality
• A desire to contribute – it’s very important to you to make a real difference with your life
• Ready to look inside for the solutions – you’re working from a place of power now and you’re done blaming people and circumstances outside yourself
• Willingness to get uncomfortable – you recognize the value of challenging the status quo and you know the discomfort of that process is always worth it
• A clear intention and desire – you know why you want this and you have enough motivation to carry you forward (although help is nice too….)
One note about the last point – occasionally people choose to work with me because they have a great resistance to getting clear on what they really want. My process can be a really good fit for that, so you don’t always need to be crystal clear for us to start working together.
What I bring to your process:
My way of working is an alchemy that evolved over years of deep dialogue and testing with resistance of all kinds. Here’s some of what I bring to the table:
• Hands down, the quality my clients value the most is my insight. I gently help you see through the patterns that have eluded you for so long and this alone saves you years of struggle and lost possibility.
• You’ll come away with a much broader and more beautiful perspective on your journey, your purpose and the story unfolding within your current struggle. This story changes everything. It brings a deeper level of meaning and willingness to everything you do.
• I create a “force field” of compassion and deep acceptance around our sessions that softens all judgment and inner criticism and makes it safe to address whatever comes up in the course of your transformation. You’ll gradually learn to give this kind of compassion to yourself, by first receiving it.
• Despite, or maybe because of, the depth we’re working at, I bring a lot of lighthearted irreverence to the process. We’ll rarely sigh or gnash our teeth over the antics of your lower self – we’ll be much more likely to laugh and marvel at its incredible creativity. There’s just no point in suffering over our suffering.
• I’ve likely seen or done most of the resistance strategies you’re engaged in, so I can spot them at 100 paces. If you’re worried that your resistance will find a way to sabotage our work together – don’t worry. It’s very unlikely that you can sneak it past me!
• I bring a rare understanding of human biology and brain science that will allow you to understand your “wiring” in a whole new way and start working with it instead of against it. You’ll see right away what a natural process your resistance is and stop beating yourself up for it.
• Most of my clients have a sense of the Divine operating in their life in some way, or they want to, and our time together tends to deepen their relationship with Spirit, God, All That Is, The Beloved or whatever they choose to call it. And your existing relationship and beliefs are always honoured, not challenged.
• You are always 100% in choice about what to work on, what actions to take, and the pace of your progress. I never push or force. I only guide and offer what I can to help you make the most conscious choices possible. Always.
Are you ready to accelerate your journey?
Having the support to see and work through your own defenses, paradigms, beliefs and programming can make the difference between being and doing way more of what you want in 1 to 6 months or struggling many, many more years to get there!
Even more important, though, is the fact that through our work together you’ll be unlearning a lifetime of judgment, reaction, self- criticism and self-defeating habits and learning to replace them with compassionate awareness and the ability to truly guide and encourage yourself, and then others if you choose.
In addition, we have the freedom to draw from the hundreds of questions, practices and exercises in my toolbox, and bring them together in the exact order and timing that’s right for you. No one approach works the same way for everyone. Your path and your issues are very unique, and your solutions will be unique as well.
When we put all this together, a real transformation begins!
You won’t just be getting past the current obstacle; you’ll be learning how to transform every obstacle you encounter on the way to your dreams.
How to Start:
If this is feeling like a good fit for you and you’re ready to get started, these are the steps:
• Use one of the buttons below to purchase one or more sessions.
• You’ll receive an email with a link to my session calendar so you can book the time(s) that work best for you.
• I’ll send you a few basic questions by email that you can answer and send back to me, so I’ve got a bit of foundation on what you’re working with and we can dig right in when we get together.
• You’ll call me at our session time by phone at the number I give you. I prefer not to do Skype calls unless you’re overseas and the cost is really a barrier to working together. My effectiveness depends on my ability to hear you clearly and Skype doesn’t always support that.
And on our first call, since I don’t do try-before-you-buy sessions, if you know within the first half hour that we won’t be able to work well together, we can part as friends and I’ll refund your session payment, no questions asked.
What’s included:
• Your sessions will each be about 75 minutes long
• You’ll receive an mp3 recording of the call by email within 24 hrs
• If you haven’t previously worked with my 15 Minutes to Outsmarting Your Resistance Kit, it’s included with your first Discovery Session and I’ll recommend that you work with it for a week before we meet.
• We’ll check in and follow up by email in the week after our call and I also offer quick 15-minute phone check-ins if needed

Here’s what some of my clients have experienced:
Without the immense resistance I would have expected, I found myself questioning and changing one of the most basic realities of my life: my escapism. This touched on many other issues: my time, my relationships and my money. It was so integral to my identity, I had never even seen it as something that needed changing or that could be changed.
I think I was able to conceive of change because with Susan, I had a very different, objective view of my life. And as opposed to my view, it was hopeful and compassionate. Through gentle self-reflection, without any prodding on her part (which always brings up the rebel in me), I somehow came to tackle the major issues of my life. Most astonishing of all, is how possible it all seems. I feel empowered; I feel in control; I feel hopeful.
I’m very grateful to Susan for this new insight into my life. The time and money I have invested here is a wise investment in my future, both professionally and personally.
Elaine Tougas – Manitoba, Canada
I felt very honored by your interventions, Susan. You have a wonderful way of supporting people right where they are, and you did so with me… I ended up feeling more empowered by your uplifting of my challenges…
Your voice is very kind and compassionate. It was a very strong anchor for me each week. Your caring and deep insight comes thru in the tenor and quality of your voice, the choice of words, and the approach you take.
You have a very highly developed skill of seeing possibilities outside the box, even to the point of my saying to myself, “She doesn’t even see a box!” That was very enlightening for me to see, as a coach, your ability to do that with one person after another.
I would describe you as: Absolute Empowerment; Compassion to the Max; Change without Pain.
Don McAvinchy – New Mexico
It was really pretty amazing — in about 20 or 30 minutes, we figured out some core stuff that I’ve been trying to track down for at least the last ten years. I just couldn’t see it, but Susan homed right in on it.
Of course, that didn’t magically fix everything; I still have a lot of work to do, and, I suspect, always will. But Susan gave me a critical piece of the puzzle, in a very effortless way.
Beth W, Utah
I had good expectations of my session with Susan before we’d even talked. And she surpassed them. Susan simply has this sense about her that comes through even via written communication, of kindness and wisdom and intelligence. The idea of someone who “specialized” in resistance/procrastination coaching fascinated me – it had never crossed my mind as being “that” big of an issue or worthy enough that it could be worth tackling as its own genre. I’m pretty sure a part of me was pretty clear that the answer was “just get off your ass and do it, already.” Funny how that hadn’t quite managed to work.
My session with Susan led me to some fascinating places, with glittery, nugget-y findings that I’m still marveling at, turning around in my hand, poking with my fingertip, thinking “hmmmmmmm” and curious to delve into more. But it wasn’t all abstract/theoretical discoveries; she also shone the light on, and thereby helped me clarify some issues that were holding me back. And since tough stuff generally isn’t resolved in the snap of even an amazing single session of work, gave me a manageable few areas to focus on, to help me continue to move forward.
Shana, Massachusetts
Let me second (or third or forth) the recommendation to take Susan up on her offer!
Susan’s very gifted at what she does. After only a few minutes, she got quickly to the heart of my situation and helped me make a huge shift in perspective. Plus, she gave me a few simple, yet powerful tools I can use to navigate my way through the challenges ahead. I’m now heading down my path with renewed courage and clarity.
Very practical, very reassuring, very inspiring! Thank you so much, Susan!
Barbara S, California
The most important thing I got out of my coaching session with Susan, is that my thoughts can be my undoing, or conversely, they can be a kind of fuel that propels me. I never realized what damaging thoughts I could have and how they could affect my actions, but after working through it on a couple different issues with Susan’s help, I really feel as if I have a much clearer overview of how to make space and time for myself, and stop hiding behind a (seemingly overwhelming) mountain of things to do just because it seems safer that way. Susan will teach you how to (peacefully) confront your inner demons in a way that’s easy to follow and incredibly helpful. If you’re stuck — in any area of your life, I recommend scheduling a session with her right away. You will be completely floored by what you learn, and it will make you a better person.
Sherice J, West Virginia
If you are feeling stuck and haven’t had a chance to talk to Susan yet, I cannot recommend her enough! With in a few minutes she got to a root of a problem I was feeling. Then after talking with her a while longer we had a whole new direction for my business to take. She was so intuitive and after letting the “dust” settle a bit, I’m so excited to get to work on my new direction! Thanks so much Susan!
Andrea V, Colorado
I work in a field where I can’t rely on procedures and systems. In order to be effective and serve my clients well, I need to be fully present in my practice. You helped me discover the things that were really holding me back–which were different than the roadblocks I had originally identified.
You helped me acknowledge my true gifts. Your compassionate, thoughtful approach made it surprisingly easy to step past the resistance and false modesty and recognize that a gift isn’t a selfish thing, but something to be shared.
Since working with you I have experienced deeper, more lasting stillness, and have found a new sense of ease in my work. Thank you, Susan.
