Suzanne is an Enneagram-informed transformational coach and trainer that works with individuals, couples, teens, families, and small companies. She co-authored "The Enneagram, Relationships, and Intimacy" with her mentor David Daniels, MD., a book that marries the wisdom of the Enneagram and David Daniels’ years of experience with Dr. Daniel J. Siegel’s research on mindful awareness, attachment, and interpersonal neurobiology. As Suzanne carries David’s compassionate approach forward, her focus is the bettering of human relationships through intrapersonal healing first, followed by the development of cognitive-emotional somatic capacity, emotional literacy, as well as defense system relaxation for the deepening of intimacy—with both self and other.

A teacher, writer, and educator of the Enneagram system for personal and professional self-awareness, Suzanne is currently an Enneagram consultant at the Deep Coaching Institute and the Creative Director for Marion Gilbert’s Somatic Enneagram™ Training School. Suzanne is also one of the founders of T.A.P.P., The Attuned Parent Program—Parenting to Heal the World.

In 2008, Suzanne completed her teacher certification with the Palmer-Daniels Enneagram Professional Training Program, now called The Narrative Enneagram. She completed the Advanced Coaching 2.0 program with The Enneagram in Business, designed by Ginger Lapid-Bodga, PhD, and has trained with Life-centered Therapy, designed and developed by Dr. Andy Hahn.

She was one of the founding board members of the Enneagram Prison Project (2012–2017) and spent several years developing course content and curricula as well as teaching a trauma-informed, addiction-informed Enneagram to incarcerated men and women in Northern California jails and the San Quentin State Prison.
