Hi, I’m susan bono.
I’m glad you’re taking the time to seek out a health and wellness coach to help you achieve your goals and become the best version of you. To share my background and journey, I obtained a Mechanical Engineering and MBA/Finance degree. I worked for both General Motors and Ford Automotive as a thermal engineer and a business strategy analyst.
During this time, I had four children and later transitioned to full-time motherhood. I raised my children for the next 18 years. Upon turning 50 my kids left the house, and I faced an ‘empty nester’ phase of my life. At this point I realized I had neglected my health, friendships, spiritual connection, marriage, and purpose. I experienced a “rock-bottom” point in my life and embarked on a journey of self-discovery through functional/natural protocols. This transformative process facilitated my personal healing and allowed me to share my knowledge through coaching others.
My Approach
Biohacking
In addition to my formal training at IIN Health and Wellness Coaching, I have cultivated a personal interest in biohacking. This passion has driven me to explore additional ways of healing the body, by encompassing items such as: fitness/sleep trackers, light therapy, hot/cold therapy, supplements, a spectrum of exercises from yoga to HIIT, mindfulness/meditation, grounding, breathing techniques and detox protocols.
To facilitate my passion for helping others I obtained two coaching certificates from (Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and also the Internation Association for Health Coaches (IAHC). I then took my training to the next level for coaches and obtained my National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) certification.
What to seek out when finding a coach:
Anyone can claim to be a “coach” and many people have a “certificate” showing that they completed a coaching program, however you should find an NBHWC coach because it signifies that they have met rigorous training standards, demonstrating a high level of expertise and commitment to providing quality health and wellness coaching, ensuring you receive evidence-based strategies and a professional approach to achieving your goals; essentially, it guarantees a qualified coach with the necessary skills to effectively guide you on your health journey.
