“Creativity is like freedom: Once you taste it, you cannot live without it. It is a transformational force, enhancing self-esteem and self-empowerment.” ~ Dr. Natalie Rogers Founder of Person-Centered Expressive Arts
Suzan’s Batik Painting in Ubud, Bali
Expressive arts uses movement, sound, the visual arts, creative writing, and drama to further self-expression, insight, creativity, and higher states of consciousness. Working with expressive arts does not require being an artist (although that’s fine too)! The focus is on the process—–not the end result. This powerful work can foster emotional healing, resolve inner conflict, and reawaken your natural creativity.
I’m a Certified as both a Life Coach and Expressive Arts Facilitator and Coach and my mission is to hold powerful, safe space for you to rediscover your life’s purpose “AFTER 50” and reconnect with your joy! The programs I offer can help you enhance your overall health and well-being, reconnect with your natural creativity, and learn to play again.
“The absence of play is not work – it is depression.”
What is Play? “Time spent without purpose.”
Dr. Stuart Brown – National Institute for Play
Expressive arts may be just the jump start you need, and can even help you feel better physically! Read about research on the use of expressive arts for health issues.

“I truly value each and every coaching session with you, Suzan. What I appreciate most is your gentle and wise guidance. Each time, your process takes me to a new level of inner awareness and discovery that’s delightfully energizing! As a result of our sessions together, I am finding ways to be more playful in my work, my art and my life. It sparks joy for me as well as my friends and family!” Cynthia Correll, Marketing Consultant
“Expressive arts coaching really allowed m to let go of bad habits and fears that were holding me back from what I really wanted in life. Suzan was really in the moment with me every session. She listened and gave articulate feedback and guided me in ways I didn’t realize I was asking for. Through coaching I gained confidence and set some important goals that are now attainable.” Grayson
“Deep listening for meaning is a wonderful gift to experience for funneling inner-wisdom. Suzan is masterful in facilitating space to do this. Loved the powerful magic drumming activity with Suzan.” BL, Coach
“It was a safe place to express my creativity freely and without judgement (by me! and others). I most appreciated being nurtured in a supportive, lovely space by a caring, competent facilitator.” Billie@GuidingMindfulChange.com

Hi Cherie,
I have another program Saturday June 11th at Glen Ivy (1:30 pm) called Creating Soul Portraits which I think you would enjoy. You can go to my website for more information: http://www.SuzanTusson.com (then events). I also offer complimentary 1/2 hour phone coaching sessions. Let me know if I can support you in that way. My editor is sending me the book tomorrow for my final edits….so my book is coming along. Don’t have an exact date for completion yet though it will be in the next few months (as an E-Book) then later as a print book. I’ll keep you posted!
Thanks for getting in touch.

Hi Suzan,
I feel so blessed to have friends, like yourself, who
know that women are multifaceted, and often have difficulty in undersanding and identifying their life purpose. Hence the skill of a personal life coach helps to hasten the process toward self-worth and confidence.
Your book will inspire many women to search within for their personal power and wisdom. I look forward to the completion and publishing of your book and a book signing party at my home.
Fondly,
Bev

Dear Suzan,
I just started reading a wonderful book; you are a living example of the author’s purpose. It is called, “Writing to Change the World” by Mary Pipher. I am in a huge life transition, sometimes I am not certain where my feet are. Your sweet story of your Aunt Birdie Mae has helped to calm me where I am restless and inspire me where I am dulled. Thank you. I look forward to reading more from you and other wise women.
