I cannot begin to express how much working with Susan Marque has changed my life. I am healthier, have more energy and, quite frankly, look better than I have in years!! My skin is clear and glowing. My eyes twinkle and at my recent annual physical, my physician marveled at my blood work.
I have always taken good care of myself. I am very in tune with my body and what it needs but, until I met Susan, I hadn't realized that there was so much more my body needed (and didn't need at all!).
Now I feel balanced, happy and fulfilled. What's more, my entire family has watched my transformation and now they are more conscious of food and how it affects their well being.
Susan has been a great inspiration, confidante and friend to me.
Her knowledge is invaluable. She can change your life.
I am living proof.
Melissa Gilbert
Susan Marque arms her clients with one thing most nutrition and diet experts never provide: REAL KNOWLEDGE. Susan assumes that you are intelligent enough to learn a little something about the way food interacts with your body--so that long after the sessions are finished --you can still make important and informed choices about diet and nutrition. I cannot sing Susan Marque's praises loudly enough.
Matthew Carnahan, author of Serpent Girl,creator of "Dirt"
In one session Susan Marque has completely transformed my life for the better. She made it so simple to do and within a few weeks I've lost the weight I wanted to lose and cleared my stubborn adult acne with ease and joy. I feel fantastic and have more energy than I ever imagined. Susan, I can't thank you enough for this incredible gift. Everyone should know about you.
With love,
Misha Henckel, Ultimate Life Coach
Wow! Susan knows food. Susan knows people. Uncannily, Susan knows you. How does she do it? It's a mystery. But if you are willing, she will help you to know you better, too. She has touched me nutritionally AND spiritually. I am grateful. Warm, caring, nurturing, optimistic and gentle. Is this what you are seeking in a coach? This is Susan.
M. Triskana West
Susan is not only a great inspiration for anyone who wants to get healthy, but is a positive role model for women (and men!) who want to embrace a lifestyle that is truly their own, and get the most out of it.
She does her own thing by not living conventionally, and shows people that they too can live the creative and “free” life that a lot of people seek these days, without having to have the structure of planning hard to make meals. She teaches you quick and healthy recipes and skills that will help you change your mindset on how to manage your time to get the benefits of these foods for longevity, strength and beauty.
Susan has taught me a lot about healthful foods in the last 2 years, and it has totally helped me change my perspective on how, and what, I eat, by not feeling like I’m depriving myself, but giving myself something back. With all the craziness of computers, cell phones, and driving in LA traffic, its great to now know how to pamper myself by being healthy on my own terms. Thank you Susan.
Susan and I are also working together on a few web videos for her site, so you too can start to see how quick and easy this way of cooking and eating is! (She pays me in food, if that says anything about the recipes! Yum!)
Lauren Graham, Filmmaker, Los Angeles.
Susan thank you for your insight and delight in health and well being. You have really enriched my life with your wisdom and solutions for optimum health.
Kelly Rutherford, actress
I love Susan!
I've never been healthier, happier or more satisfied.
Carol Shaw, Lorac Cosmetics
Susan Marque is a Godsend. After struggling for years with a mysterious skin condition and running to every health care practitioner imaginable (dermatologist, allergist, MD, homeopath, acupuncturist, naturopath, chiropractor, hypnotist, and more) Susan was able to tell me more in ten minutes about my health and what could be contributing to my problem than all of the practitioners I had been to combined - all over the phone! She is a font of wisdom and has answers and information unavailable elsewhere. Her loving, caring, FUN instruction leads to delicious meals and delectable health. She was born to do this work.
Carol Allen, Vedic astrologer
Susan delivers coaching and advice in a warm, caring, non-judgmental way. Her recent two-hour tele-class included guided meditation and solid information and easy recipes that helped me break through barriers that had been holding me back for years. Susan knows how food affects the body, but she also knows how to feed the soul. One hour of encouragement and guidance from Susan is worth a shelf full of books. She is a coach in every sense of the word, coaxing the best out of me and helping me cut through mental and emotional clutter so I can keep on track.
Working with Susan has been the best gift I could ever give myself.
Gary Gentile, writer
Susan, you are so creative and so knowledgeable and you come up with great recipes for cooking; but you are also such a great coach; and your coaching is powerful. It's not just what you cook, it is what you help your clients cook up in their life.
Thank you so much for helping me with mine.
Audra, Austin TX
How can I explain my experience of the peace, insight and healing energy Susan has to share...
Nurtured, Supported, Loved - this is how I feel after a coaching session with Susan Marque.
I also come away from our sessions filled with input and ideas. Knowledge applicable to daily life from her intuitive (and enlightened!) wealth of information.
I discovered Susan in the midst of searching for a cure for a stubborn illness - and in the midst of a stressful period in my life. She has become a confidante, and with her help and gentle guidance through the worlds of food, energy, emotions, thoughts, experiences - and how they all connect to support or diminish physical health and well being - I see a joyful, joyful light at the end of the tunnel...
Healing energy fairly flows from her! I am so lucky to be amongst those who love Susan. And I am thankful when her voice echoes in my head...she has forever effected my life...
Katey, NY dancer
Susan helped me get very comfortable in the kitchen and taught me how to create some tasty and healthy meals. Even though I felt I was eating healthily before, she helped me to deepen my understanding of nutrition and how my body reacts to food. The trip to the market was extremely valuable, as I learned about delicious foods that I never would have tried without her direction. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and a total pleasure to work with.
Jeffrey Levine, MBA, CPCC
Susan,
Working with you is the best investment I have ever made. You have given me information which works. You have an ability to give
information in a non-threatening and friendly way.
During our first session you gave me information on dairy. Within a
few days the constant pain and swelling in my knees began to subside. Within a week it was totally gone.
Everything you have shared with me has worked. Giving up dairy was so hard. But, the tools you shared made it possible for me. That was only the beginning. I have lost weight, more energy and much better skin.
Your help with life coaching has been amazing. Money has been a difficult issue for me. My work with you changed my finances. Money has come in from odd places. I had loaned a friend $600 seven years ago. I was never repaid. Within the first week of working on my money issues a check arrived for the $600. This has continued.
I look at the universe very differently with your coaching.
You are the best!
Eileen Young
I have struggled with an endless string of diets that all eventually "stop working". When Susan came into my life, I was desperate to find an answer that worked and was fueled by self love instead of self hatred. Susan's mix of practical and spiritual has set me on a road I am very excited about. She immediately knew what was wrong with me and when I followed her suggestions, I felt miraculous.
Susan told me I had to cut out dairy, which was huge for me...(ice cream and cheese are my favorites). But, I trusted her; and within a couple weeks, I was amazed. My allergies were completely gone; and my horrible digestive issues had disappeared. I still had moments of craving dairy—but it just wasn't worth it. The benefit of not eating dairy was too great; and thinking of that made it possible for me to choose something else.
I usually have a hard time emotionally and physically when I am trying to eat a certain way that I perceive as restrictive. In the past, I would be angry, tired, and hungry. Working with Susan has been so different. It is such a holistic approach to the topic that I feel supported in all areas. She has given me invaluable knowledge about what to eat and why to eat it; and she has also helped me work through my anger and emotional issues. For the first time ever, I am losing weight—and I have so much energy. I feel nourished and healthy.
Susan makes it all fun, exciting, and most importantly ...realistic!
Kimberly Simpson, Independent Film Producer
Susan is a magician with whole foods. She will teach you how to create wonderful, healthy, whole food meals in her magical kitchen. She makes everything fun, easy and very tasty.
Bethany Muhl, L.Ac.
Susan took one look at me and could tell exactly what was wrong and what I needed to be doing and eating. She explained things clearly and helped me to understand how certain foods affected me. With her help, I have broken a life-long sugar addiction (I never thought that would happen!) and started eating in a way that has made me look and feel a million times better. As someone who rarely cooked, the recipes using vegetables, grains and herbs I had never used before seemed a little daunting at first, but going to the market and cooking with her showed me how quick and easy it is. She has introduced me to a whole new approach to eating and I am excited to continue experimenting with it -- Susan has great energy that has kept me motivated!
Jessica Vitale Public Relations Specialist
I can honestly say that this has been one of the most
constructive and enjoyable experiences in a long time. Susan's approach is
truly inspirational and she has managed to combine her passion and expertise
to create a wonderful journey of learning and discovery. You cannot but come
away with a renewed respect for the body and awareness of how important it is
to nourish ones self properly. Not only does this affect one physically, but I
have also felt the mental and emotional benefits--and it was easy and
fun--something that I never thought I would say.
I have come away feeling that the
purpose of my trip to L.A. was this course and that I have acquired an
indispensable tool to a stronger, healthier and happier life. The added bonus
is that Susan is a joy to spend time with and I feel as though I have made a
friend.
S. from London
Just wanted to say I had a blast at our last session.
It was one of the best classes I have taken my entire life.
No kidding.
Bonnie, financial planner
The thing that intrigues me about your food is that it is so easy to do, tastes great and just happens to be healthy.
Janice, breathwork facilitator
I knew after meeting you that it was crucial for me to learn more about whole foods and their benefits. Not only for myself but more specifically for my daughter who is a toddler and only wants mac & cheese from a box (gross).
I have always struggled with food and eating so I've been concerned that I'm raising a child who will have similar issues. I wanted to expose her something better. Wow, I had no idea how amazing the food would taste and feel inside my own body. I love it! You made it so simple and my body seems to crave more of this good food.
I feel fantastic. Plus, who knew I could actually cook! I can't thank you enough, Susan.
You rock!!!
Rosie, Singer & single mom
Susan is a delight! I so much enjoy working with her. Her insight into food and the body is refreshing and inspirational. From her little tricks of how to de-bloat after too much sodium to the concept that too much clutter and holding on to "stuff" in your life translates to holding on to weight on your body is transformational. I highly recommend working with Susan if you are looking for life-changing habits. Her cooking classes are fabulous as well. I was so excited to learn to cook things that were easy, quick, healthy and tasty. She herself is a 5 course meal!!

I can honestly say that Susan's approach to food coaching has changed my life. I was interested in seeing a nutritionist because I had been way too sick for way too long. I basically caught every disease that came around and didn't know how to cope, after years of having a really strong constitution and immune system. I knew that my stress level was not going to change so I had to change my chemical make up somehow. I am thoroughly distrustful of Western medicine so I knew I couldn't go with the universally accepted food pyramid and its approach to eating. I've also long suspected that since every individual is different, it didn't make any sense that we all had to have the exact same approach to eating. And finally, I suspected that there was a spiritual aspect to nutrition. Susan's philosophy begins and ends at that point. I responded immediately to Susan's energy and dynamic approach. It was all positive and had nothing to do with reprimanding or judging one's lifestyle. Her credo was basically this: there is no good or bad food. There is simply balance and imbalance. Her system complies with the laws of Chinese medicine, philosophy and holistic healing. She helped me to understand that food is a powerful thing and we have to be conscious of the way in which we use it. Bringing my consciousness to the way I eat, I now feel in control of my health and well being.

Susan's vast nutritional knowledge and kind teaching style helped me break a sugar addiction that has plagued me for over ten years. With simple suggestions and alternatives, she introduced me to a more natural, holistic way of eating that not only takes less time than I ever would have thought, but makes me feel strong, healthy, and full of energy.
Amy Finnigan, Independent film producer
Before I came to Susan, I was essentially a lethargic man in a prolonged bad mood. I was sick and didn't know how to get well. Susan helped me create a specific program for wellness and vitality. Through simple changes in my diet, I came very quickly to discover a consistent level of vitality unknown to me even as a teenager. It is still remarkable to me that all had to do was eat a bit differently. Susan shows you how to calm your cravings. After you do this you find you suddenly have a whole new orientation toward food. The things that once sounded good no longer do. What starts to sound good is what also happens to be for your body.
But it was not only my body that reaped benefits. My mental state changed dramatically. I learned how food affects moods. I had no idea how much what I chose to eat was affecting my moods. When I started eating more whole grains and vegetables and yummy soups and fish and things like that, my dark moods started---like sudden summer storms---to recede. I learned to chew my food, to enjoy the whole experience of eating, and in turn I ate a lot less. I lost weight mostly because my goal was never to lose weight. I only wanted to feel better and have more energy for my busy life. I found I became more relaxed and I slept better than I had in years. I am so grateful to Susan for giving me the tools to change my life.
Brian Lennon, Writer
Susan's understanding of the human body and how it functions optimally given the proper foods is amazing. She has reinvented the way I look at food and eating. By following her simple guidelines my energy has increased dramatically, my weight has stabilized and my whole being feels transformed and vibrant.
Mike Patterson, Marketing Consultant
As a fitness trainer in LA everyone expects you to have the secrets to a perfect body; well it was challenging to get the last 10 pounds to go until I coached with Susan and she showed me what and how to choose the foods to get the results I wanted. It worked! And it's still working!
Audra Sherman, Fitness Trainer

Sandy McBride, Desert Sky Realty
As a fitness professional and a scientist, I have a good working knowledge of conventional nutrition. Working with Susan Marque, specifically to find the root of my migraines, has given me new insight into what my body needs and what it rebels against. I learned about the connection between my physician's medial diagnoses (hypothyroidism, anemia, etc.) and what I eat (or don't).
Since completing Susan's Foundation Course and cutting down on or eliminating certain foods, I feel better, have fewer migraines and the ones I do get I can pinpoint what caused them. I believe my family and I are eating healthier and will stay healthier.
Susan's knowledge of food and her ability to connect with her clients and identify their challenges with food, is unique and extraordinary. I am so pleased that I met her when I did. What I have learned is slowly, but surely, changing my life for the better!
