The catalyst for Sue to start her business Growing Content was seeing the pain friends and family were going through with unexplained infertility and the IVF emotional rollercoaster.  She developed the Conception Coaching program to identify and clear the unconscious fears and blocks to conceiving.  

Her work has since expanded to helping pregnant couples prepare mentally and emotionally for a positive birth and parenting, to a wide range of issues including anxiety, self esteem, weight and ongoing pain, relationship issues and coping with transition periods in life.

Sue firmly believes in holistic well-being.  She has developed and runs De-Stress For Success workshops and retreats, in-house training programs, is in demand as a guest speaker, and writes regularly for a number of online magazines and forums. Somewhere in all of that Sue makes time to de-stress with bush & beach walks, travel with her partner Peter, and chocolate.
