MEET SUSAN

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

​

My plant-based journey started over a decade ago when an initial mammogram indicated a heightened risk for breast cancer. Research into the lifestyle changes I could make to reduce my cancer risk led me to  a plant-based diet. I have since developed a passion for the evidence-based science behind a whole-food plant-based diet for optimum health and have become certified in plant-based nutrition through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies at eCornell. I completed my initial health coach training  at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), the Lifestyle Medicine for Coaches training offered jointly by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and Wellcoaches, and am currently completing additional certification in Plant-based Coaching through the Food Revolution Network as well as preparing for the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches Certification Exam. I am also a certified yoga instructor, Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist, and Jazzersize instructor, passionate about lifelong fitness, movement, and mindfulness. 

​

In addition to my work as a health coach, I am also an educator with over 25 years of experience teaching 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. 

​

As a health coach, I use my wide range of knowledge and life experiences 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.
