Report
Susan has provided me with words of wisdom and sound health advice on a wide range of topics from colds to yoga to cancer. Her expertise in herbal medicine has given me low cost and healthy alternatives to pharmaceutical/ OTC drugs that I would not have know about otherwise. Susan takes the time to assess each client's unique situation and make recommendations that are realistic and fitting to that individual.
