“The Living Upward Experience and Certification program gave me new tools that at first glance seemed simple and were easy to add to my toolbox. But don’t be fooled. This approach is profound and has changed the way I navigate through life. Susan guided us adeptly to discover both, the simple and profound. As such, I find myself more able to guide my clients toward their own simple and profound discoveries. I’m forever grateful for Susan and Living Upward, and excited to see it expand and touch many more lives.”
