About Susan
Meet the Woman Behind Thrive After 50
Hi, I’m Susan.
There was a time in my life when I didn’t feel like myself anymore.
On the outside, everything looked fine—but inside, I felt flat, disconnected, and unsure of who I was becoming. My energy had shifted, my priorities were changing, and the things that once felt certain no longer did.
That chapter of my life had a name—menopause. And it changed everything.
I was born in New Zealand in 1964, the youngest of three, and raised in a hardworking family where resilience, adaptability, and a strong work ethic were simply part of life. Those early years shaped who I am today—curious, determined, and always open to learning and growth.
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats. I’ve studied, started businesses, raised two beautiful children largely on my own, and rebuilt my life more than once. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: a deep desire to learn, grow, and help others do the same.
But midlife brought a different kind of turning point.
Like many women, I found myself navigating physical, emotional, and mental changes—often feeling like I was losing my identity and my zest for life. I spent time exploring different approaches, searching for answers, and slowly reconnecting with what I truly needed.
That journey is what led me here.
Today, through Thrive After 50 and The Longevity Method, I help women over 50 feel more confident, in control, and at ease with their money—so they can focus on what truly matters: their health, wellbeing, and quality of life.
As a qualified Breathwork Practitioner with a Diploma in Life Coaching (2011) and a Diploma in Accounting (2015), I bring both practical financial knowledge and a supportive, real-world approach. My work isn’t just about numbers—it’s about helping you create clarity, reduce stress, and make confident decisions about your future.
I also incorporate The Midlife Reset Method, a gentle yet powerful breathwork-based approach designed to calm your nervous system, reduce stress, and help you reconnect with your body. Through simple, guided techniques, you can release tension, restore your energy, and feel more grounded, clear, and in control.
My approach is simple.
This isn’t about restriction or complicated systems—it’s about creating a way of managing your money and your wellbeing that feels calm, sustainable, and aligned with who you are now.
Because you deserve to feel confident about your future—and it’s never too late to start.

Client Stories
Words That Warm Our Hearts
Sue took me through a Breathwork session and WOW – it helped me to gain clarity around why I was stuck!
Sue was very gentle and I felt safe in the process. I found it very easy to relax into the session and I am very grateful for the shift that I had. I loved Sue’s calm yet confident guiding voice and didn’t want the session to end. Thank you so much Sue.

Joanne Shade
Sue took me through a Breathwork Session where I presented the issue around trusting others. Sue held a
loving safe space for me to go deep into the process where I could explore where the lack of trust showed up in my life and I was able to work through the emotions that were showing up and finally come out with the feeling
of ease within myself. Thank you for your kind and gently support guiding me through this very effective
process. With gratitude.

Sue made me feel at ease right away and held a safe, supportive space throughout our session. I ended up exploring a slightly different issue than I had first intended. I think that’s because I felt so comfortable with Sue that I was able to go deeper rather than just skimming the surface. Thank you, Sue — much appreciated.

FAQs
Here’s What You Need to Know
We’ve answered the most common questions to help you feel informed, supported, and confident.
Who are your services designed for?
My services are designed specifically for adults aged 50 and above who are ready to invest in their health, vitality, and financial wellbeing. Whether you’re newly retired, approaching a life transition, or simply feeling the need for positive change, you’re in the right place.
What happens on a free discovery call?
The discovery call is a relaxed, no-pressure 30-minute conversation where we get to know each other. I’ll ask about your goals, challenges, and what you’re hoping to achieve. There’s no obligation — it’s simply a chance to see if we’re a good fit.
Do I need any prior experience with breathwork?
Absolutely not! All breathwork sessions are beginner-friendly. I guide you gently through each technique, explaining the science and benefits along the way. Many clients have never tried breathwork before and find it immediately transformative.
How is financial wellbeing coaching different from a financial advisor?
Traditional financial advisors focus primarily on investments and products. My financial wellbeing approach looks at your relationship with money, your emotional triggers, and how your financial situation connects to your overall health and happiness — alongside practical guidance.
How long does a typical programme last?
Programme lengths vary based on your needs and goals. Most clients work with me for 2-3 months to see meaningful, lasting results. We always start with a discovery call to understand what would suit you best before committing to anything.
Are sessions available online?
Yes! All services are available both in-person (where available) and online via video call. Online sessions are just as effective and allow clients from anywhere in the world to work with me.
How much do the services cost?
Pricing depends on the service and program length. The best way to get accurate pricing tailored to your situation is to book a free discovery call, where we can discuss your goals and what investments make sense for you.
