MEET SUSAN

Hi, I'm Susan Bleyle (BLY-lee). Five decades of life experience have given me many tools in my health coaching toolbox.

​

I am an educator with over 25 years of experience teaching ESL and English to college students and other adults. I earned an MA in Applied Linguistics from Georgia State University and a Ph.D. in Language and Literacy Education from The University of Georgia. 

​

I am a yogi with 25 years of experience as a practitioner and 5 years as a certified instructor. I value all styles of yoga, including not only asana (postures) but pranayama (breathing), mantra (chanting), and meditation. I am also a certified Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist and can incorporate the tools of India’s ancient health science into my coaching practice.

​

I am certified in plant-based nutrition from eCornell and understand the evidence-based science behind a whole-food plant-based diet. Over a decade ago, I adopted a plant-based diet myself and experienced a huge transformation in the health of my body, mind, and spirit.

​

I am an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, certified through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I studied a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods. I also completed the "Lifestyle Medicine for Coaches" training offered jointly by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and Wellcoaches. 

As a health coach, I use my wide range of knowledge and life experience to work with you to co-create completely personalized action steps based on your goals. Our work together will help you move toward your ideal vision of health within your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and resources.
