Susan Taylor, CHC, CEPC
Integrative Nutrition and Eating Psychology Coach

My Training & Experience
Although life itself is the best teacher of all, I received my initial training at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York City, and am a Certified Health Coach by both the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the MacDonald Center for Obesity Prevention & Education at Villanova University College of Nursing. I also am trained in mind-body nutrition as a Certified Eating Psychology Coach under the direction of Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. Additionally,  I have completed Dr. Dorie McCubbery’s Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy (EDIT) training and am certified as an EDIT Recovery Coach.

​I have over four years of integrative nutrition counseling experience under AnnaLisa Pastore, M.D. at the Center for Holistic and Integrative Medicine in Englewood, NJ and have been in private practice since 2010. I hold a B.S. in Psychology from St. Lawrence University and an M.B.A. from New York University.

I offer my clients the option of remote (phone/Skype) or in person sessions at their own homes or offices.

Working With Me
Love is my greatest asset when it comes to working with my clients. It is intrinsic to my personality --- I think that is why I’m the type of person to whom the grocery store clerk pours her heart out while putting my food in the bag! 
​
My core belief is that our back stories reflect in who we are right now both physically, psychologically, and emotionally. With loving support & keen insight, you can heal and reinvent yourself, starting with your relationship with food and body. I deeply respect and honor the uniqueness of each person & holistically seek to guide you to a healthier place body, mind, and spirit. It is so much more than food!

My Back Story
Yes, that's me being kind of crazy on a swing by the Hudson River. I take fun very seriously. I know how fragile life can be, and I am determined to cram as much joy into mine as possible. No time to waste. I appreciate the everyday moments of life, aware and grateful for the ordinary as well as the extraordinary.

My story (like yours!) would make a great novel. How can I condense it....well, I've been there, done that, got the tee-shirt on many of life's major challenges...deaths of loved ones, including my husband, my baby, my father & brother, dear friends, a child suffering from Crohn's Disease, adoption, blending a step family, 6 career changes, 12 moves, hosting international students,, and the list goes on!
​
Thanks to my deep faith in God, I have withstood it all and come through with a beautiful gift: Contrast. It is because I have known the dark that I totally embrace and  experience the light. So, you can bet I am going to jump on a swing and laugh out loud every chance I get!
