Susan's Story
I was recently in Chi town for the 35th reunion of the class of 1973. It was fabulous! I loved seeing my friends from HS and it was so much fun seeing how Skokie has changed. Sascha, my only child joined me and got to meet many of my friends and learn about her mom as a teenager. She is almost 16! Sascha is very creative..dancing, singing, acting, (TV and stage, in addition to school productions), painting, design and photography. She is just a very lovely person and she has an amazing brain, a very wonderful way of thinking about things. She is currently writing songs and singing them. She wants to become a famous rock star...
I am a single mom by choice. I was married, (briefly) but it was not for me. I love being responsible for myself and I wanted to be a mom. Parenting is not easy; there are so many things that one has to confront...but I do enjoy being a mom, so life is good!
I had and continue to have very good quality educational experiences that have enabled me to have a private practice as a medical nutrition specialist, psychotherapist and eating disorder specialist. I graduated from Univ. of Illinois with a Bachelors Degree in Hospital ...Expand for more
Dietetics and went on to get my Master's Degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine. That was my ticket to becoming an RD (Registered Dietitian) and have since become a lifeime Fellow of the ADA.
I have lived in LA since December of 1982. I earned an MS and PhD in Psychology from USC. Both of my dissertations have been published in professional journals and I presented my PhD at several professional conferences.
I have a "brand" for my practice, which became a registered trademarked: "Advancing a Healthy Mind-Body Connection". I use it on my emails and my business stationary.
By far the best thing in my life is being a mom. The second best thing is my practice. I love what I do. Bought a house 2 years ago. Made it solar, electric and water, and installed solar lights outside and LED's inside. Am also re-doing the landscaping so that it will be very drought friendly.
I would really like to re-connect with many people. I do hope to hear from some of you soon. I know life is hectic for all of you, so when you have a chance drop us a note. I would love to hear from you. My phone number is 310.659.7800.
