Read what others have to say about working with Susan...

What I'm about to say may sound like a well worn cliché and a gross exaggeration, but I assure you, it's not. What I'm about to say is the amazing reality. Susan Santoro has helped me improve several aspects of my life beyond recognition.

Let me start from the logical beginning. In my “previous” life I never considered myself to be a happy person. I displayed many behaviours that I now recognise as unresourceful and there was this constant “background hum” of discontentment and the feeling that there must be something more to my life than what I was experiencing, and had been experiencing since I was a child. I wasn't desperately unhappy, but neither was I feeling fullfilled by any stretch of imagination.

I have been doing personal development for over 15 years by reading books and “being aware”, and there have been many improvements during this time. Two and a half years ago my world fell apart when my husband of 23 years walked out on me. This came out of the blue and I was totally devastated and completely terrified at the prospect of surviving on my own with my two children. I did spend some time wandering around in a daze and blubbering a lot, but after a while I somehow picked myself up as I had to go to work full time. I worked harder than I ever had before on my personal development and I was moving along in leaps and bounds. Earlier this year, when Susan came into my life, things were about to change again. There were some areas of my life that I was unable to change regardless of how much I wanted to and how hard I tried. I felt as if I had come to a dead end and I wasn't sure where to turn next.
Two years after my separation I was still having unpleasant dreams about my ex husband and I would wake exhausted and upset in the morning after one of these recurring dreams. These dreams had been going on for months and I felt completely stuck not knowing how to move past this obstacle. After all, how does one change one's dreams? I couldn't see a way out. So when Susan asked me at the beginning of our third coaching session together what I would like to focus on in this particular session, I told her I wanted to move on and leave my ex behind once and for all.

Susan guided me through the most awe-inspiring coaching session and to my amazement I felt enormous relief at the end of this session as I could now think about my ex without feeling upset. What amazed me even more was that after that session I have never dreamed about my ex again! If there was any doubt in my mind whether coaching works, this proved to me that coaching can create deep transformation in a very short space of time. I was honestly a different person after that session, and a much happier one for that. Immediately after this coaching session I felt as if Susan had helped me move a couple of mountains the size of Mount Everest in one sitting. I really don't know how to express to you of what seismic proportions my transformation was. All I can suggest is try it out because you will love the results!

I have now put my ex husband's ghost to rest and I'm moving ahead with my life in leaps and bounds. I feel happier than I ever have before and I love life! And the best thing is that every day is better than the one that went before. At the moment I'm working with Susan in order to let go of a long list of limiting beliefs I have around money and finances. These are limiting beliefs that I have had since I was a child and that have been preventing me from moving forward in my new career. I'm in the process of creating new beliefs around money and finances and I'm having a wonderful time creating what will be my new look life as far as money goes.

Susan has a wonderful way of making me feel very special and I always feel that she really cares about me and wants to conspire for my complete success in life. She seems to have a sixth sense when it comes to working out exactly where the essence of my issue lies. Susan never lets me hide behind excuses and she can smell them out from a mile away like a truffle dog in search of truffles. This is why I feel I can trust her to such a high degree because I know that she will never let me get away with being my second best. With Susan only the best will do, and the best is me becoming the very best person that I can. Susan is very gentle and extremely generous with her support and advice. She also has a great sense of humour and we have had some good laughs together. I'm so impressed by Susan's coaching that I'm giving my 20 year old daughter 6 coaching sessions for her Christmas present this year. I can't afford not to!

If you are feeling miserable and you don't think that you can change how you feel, and you feel your life is hopeless, please give coaching a chance. Give yourself the gift of being coached by Susan and, if you are committed to improving your life, you will never look back. If, on the other hand, you feel as if you are on top of the world and you think your life is pretty good and you think you don't need coaching, then get coached! Why settle for staying on the top of the world when you can reach for the sky or the stars or both with Susan's help?

Whether you are a single person or in a relationship or looking for a partner, whether you are male of female, private or in business, young or old, I can't recommend Susan highly enough. Susan is fantastic for anyone who wants change in any area of their life.

After working with Susan, it was so clear to me why I felt so empty in my relationship and my life. Even though on the outside it appeared as though I was happy, with the kids, hubby, our lovely house and dog- on the inside I just felt like I was just breaking, my soul was crying out for something more and I was so, so sad. It was so scary to even have feelings like that when there was nothing clearly to be upset about- so I kept pushing those feelings to the side for ages and ages...

We joke about a mid-life crisis in life (although I wasn’t sure that was what was happening?) and I never wanted to class myself as ‘depressed’...as I didn’t fit the typical description- but something certainly was up with me, and just feeling hopeless every day going through the motions. My relationship had that missing ‘feeling’ and it was something I just couldn’t explain, not even to myself- and was something that I never took responsibility for changing either.
With lots of self reflection and Susan’s help in the process- I actually have started to make amends with life and feel a peace in my heart that hasn’t been there for the longest time. Coaching is so different to what I thought it would be- it was so much more empowering for me than counselling as I actually felt like we made progress with every session, and the change in me personally is phenomenal. I have spent some time really opening myself up- I was closed for so long and feel like the relationships I have with my family are completely different now. My marriage is so much more alive. Thanks so much Susan.

When I began relationship coaching with Susan I was really happy being single and thought it quite curious to explore my 'singledom.' Susan partnered with me to explore how to authentically begin my true journey and create what I really want. This really began with me getting comfortable. It was an incredible time when after identifying my old beliefs which had been limiting me I burnt them down at the beach and wrote myself a beautiful, nurturing new story. Susan has assisted me in taking my first steps towards the personal life I really want. Before, I was avoiding it, now I'm excitedly walking it. Thankyou Susan. I would recommend Susan even to those who don't think they need her! Have a chat with her - she'll move you forwards in leaps and bounds!

Upon commencement of coaching with Susan, I was looking to fast track my own coaching career, as was a little unsure as to what direction I needed to take.

As a result of the coaching journey with Susan, not only did I gain clarity around I needed to do within my business; I also received an even more amazing, unexpected gift of being able to operate from a place of personal peace. I now feel like I have a heightened level of awareness and am able to live a level of life that I didn’t know existed. I would recommend Susan most definitely to anyone who is searching for the opportunity to live life at a higher level.

I was definitely feeling like "something" was holding me back. The "something" was certain beliefs and Susan helped me to draw them out and see them from a different perspective; a much more useful perspective. This really gave me a greater sense of clarity and more energy to focus on things that were useful and productive. With some beliefs that I had held for a long time, I needed someone who didn't know me to call me on them and subtly point out the counter-productive effect they were having on my actions and therefore my life. Susan knows her stuff. I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants clarity and greater success, particularly with regard to relationships, both personal and in business.

Susan has been both a wonderful mentor and coach over the time that I have worked with her. When I started coaching with Susan I was in a very positive place in my life however felt that there was still something holding me back in terms of really stepping out into the world and being 100% me. I felt stuck in regards to a couple of aspects in the most important relationships in my world…my husband, my son and myself. Susan through her kind and supportive yet inquisitive approach assisted me to become very aware of how to unlock these final hiding places. Susan has an incredible way of knowing just when to push and when to sit back and allow me to process information for myself. As a result of my coaching with Susan I have become very aware of how my thought patterns and behaviors have been affecting those closest to me. I have seen huge shifts in my relationship with my husband and son from being great relationships to moving towards amazing and unconditional relationships. The most important result however has been the relationship with myself and accepting myself unconditionally. This is a pretty amazing place to be. I would definitely recommend Susan to anyone who wants to take their relationships to a higher level.

I worked with Susan over period of (3) months on eliminating negative life-style habits and focusing on manifesting positive outcomes for myself. Many of the tools and strategies we worked through had quick and tangible success. At the end of our session I felt highly motivated and focused on what I wanted to achieve with my health and career during the next few years.

Susan has a passion and belief in her work, and the outcomes and success of her clients. I can happily recommend Susan to anybody seeking to make positive changes and advancements in their life.

Where I was before stating coaching is not simple thing to answer but if I had to sum it up in a quick way it would be: Emotionally numb, barely coping, constantly anxious and unhappy.

Much to my doctor’s delight I have reduced my level of medication with the plan in place to be off them by my birthday next year and I feel wonderful. Getting off the meds was something that before going to Susan for guidance was NEVER going to happen, hell even the thought of trying to reduce them would make me crawl into bed whimpering and stay there for a couple of days.

I’m actually actively looking for a Soul Mate/Life partner which- trust me- is a massive step for me! I was so anti-commitment that I would move my States to get out of a relationship before it could get serious.
However possibly the most amazing thing about Susan and coaching is the fact I now believe I have a future and am making plans for it. I’m actively making plans for what I plan on doing in a couple of year’s time, where I want to visit in the next 10 years and what not.

Since working with Susan HAPPY – would be my fist emotion I think about and it has been so long since I felt this way that it was scary at first, but I’m starting to get used to feeling good. CAPABLE – I know I am perfectly capable of doing the things I want to do, which I guess is also self confident instead of self loathing. SECURE – I can cope with crowds a little better now not that I like shopping centre’s any better. I no longer freak out and put up the defence mechanisms when people I don’t know try talking to me. RELAXED – I would no longer describe myself as the “White Rabbit”. I’m still aware of my internal clock but I no longer anxious about not having enough time to get everything done. The sensation is kind of like going from having a very loud ticking clock in your head to a little digital one that is silent.

I would most definitely recommend life coaching with Susan. She’s nice but she’s not going to pat you on the head and tell you “everything’s fine” and eventually you’ll start to feel better and so on. You’ll feel better but you will have to work for it.

She will make you confront issues and problems but she will also hold your hand and help you work out ways of dealing with those issues or problems. She doesn’t just give you a quick fix for whatever the problem is right now she teaches you how to re-think and re-emote or better response patterns to old problems. This means that in the future you no longer have the same response patterns of behaviour and thinking when a problem occurs. You now have a full tool kit to work with instead of just the same spanner you’ve always used to fix your problems no matter that it wasn’t the right tool for the job.

Basically I feel like I’ve got my life back. I’m not perfect and I’m still going to have bad days but now at least I have tools to help me cope with my bad days.

I had a brilliant experience being coached by Susan from Life by Creation. Thanks to Susan’s insights into love and relationships, I gained greater awareness about the power of masculine and feminine energy in relationships. I then gained clarity about how I have participated in previous relationships and how this has prevented me from having the type of relationship I am seeking. Thanks to Susan, I am much clearer about what I am looking for in my dream relationship. Thanks tons!

Life by Creation has had such a positive impact on my life. I have become more confident in who I am and have let go of past issues that were holding me back. I learnt to be happy with who I am and where I am in life and now have so much positive energy around me. I can now take time to myself to relax and appreciate that change comes from within and thing happen in their own time when you truly believe in it.
