Sometimes life changes us, and somewhere along the way we can lose touch with ourselves.
Release and Rise is a space to pause, understand what has been holding you back and begin creating meaningful, lasting change from within.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. You simply need to be ready for something to change.
Perhaps life looks fine from the outside, but something inside you knows it no longer feels right.
You may be carrying experiences from the past that still affect the way you think, feel or respond today.
You may have lost confidence in yourself, or find yourself repeating patterns you understand intellectually but still struggle to change.
Or perhaps nothing is particularly wrong. You simply know there is more of you waiting to be lived.
You are not here to become someone else.
You are here to reconnect with who you are.
I don’t believe meaningful transformation comes from being told what to do. And I don’t believe you need fixing.
My role is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can understand yourself more deeply, challenge what may no longer serve you and discover the answers that already exist within you.
Our work is rooted in transformational life coaching. Where appropriate, hypnotherapy may be incorporated alongside powerful ways of exploring the thoughts, beliefs and patterns that shape your experience.
But the technique is never the focus. You are.
Together, we work with what is happening beneath the surface as well as what is happening in your life today—creating change that feels authentic, practical and sustainable.
A 12-week transformational journey back to yourself.
Change rarely happens in one dramatic moment. It happens gradually—through awareness, understanding, new choices and the courage to begin living differently.
Weeks 1–4
Understanding and releasing what has been holding you back.
We create space to explore the experiences, beliefs, emotional patterns and old stories that may still be influencing your life today—not to remain in the past, but so it no longer has to determine your future.
Weeks 5–8
Reconnecting with yourself and creating a stronger inner foundation.
We explore boundaries, beliefs, choices and the way you want to move forward—not as the person you think you should be, but as the person you are becoming.
Weeks 9–12
Living the change.
This stage focuses on intention, purpose, presence and creating ways of living that support the person you have become. Not perfection, but a stronger relationship with yourself.
I’m Susan, founder of Release and Rise.
My approach has been shaped not only by professional training, but by life itself.
I understand what it means to experience change, loss, uncertainty and the feeling that the person you once were has somehow become difficult to find.
I’ve also discovered what can happen when we stop trying to outrun our experiences and instead begin listening to what they have to teach us. That understanding sits at the heart of my work today.
I am not here to tell you how to live your life. I am here to walk beside you while you rediscover your own way forward.
Meet SusanEvery person arrives with a different story, so our work begins with you, not a predetermined technique.
Transformational life coaching is at the heart of our work together. Depending on what you need, sessions may also incorporate reflective questioning, hypnotherapy and deeper exploration of the thoughts, beliefs and unconscious patterns that can influence how we experience ourselves and our lives.
The purpose isn’t to keep you dependent on coaching. It is to help you develop greater self-awareness, self-trust and confidence in your own ability to navigate life.
Because ultimately, the person you will spend your whole life with is you. And that relationship matters.Discover How I Work
A Journey Through the Seasons of Healing, Hope and Growth
There are times when we don’t need another answer. We need somewhere to pause.
Meet Me at the Tree grew from that idea—a quiet invitation to step away from the noise and reconnect with yourself.
Through Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, the book explores release, growth, flourishing and the wisdom we gather as life continues to change.
It isn’t a book about becoming a perfect version of yourself. It’s about remembering who you are beneath everything life has asked you to carry.

Sometimes change begins with something much quieter.
You have carried enough. Perhaps now it is time to discover what happens when you begin putting some of it down.
