About Sue

I practised family medicine for 37 years,  having achieved the degrees of MD in 1979, and  MSc in Community Health and Epidemiology in 1982, at Queen's University in Kingston Ontario. I completed my training to become a family physician at Queen's and became certified with the College of Family Physicians of Canada in 1981. I maintained my certification annually, and I received a Fellowship with the College of Family Physicians in 2004. I became a certified life coach through Coaches Training Institute in 2004, and received the Ontario College Graduate Certificate in the Expressive Arts in 2013. Combining the skills of family medicine, life coaching, and the expressive arts I have found great joy in accompanying others on their hero's journey towards self-discovery and healing. 

I began a new adventure in April 2022- I spent a year training to become a Certified Sage-ing Leader for Sage-ing International (www.sage-ing.org) and Graduation day was March 26,2023! I am now able to facilitate, with confidence, workshops on interesting topics such as Life Review, Life Repair, Ethical Will writing, Internalized Ageism, Mentoring, and Preparing for Our Own Death.

In summer 2022, I discovered the certified professional retirement coach program and I enrolled in it! It was a fascinating program which filled in the gaps of knowledge I had about how to help people make the transition from their first career into the next part of their life. I now have another toolkit filled with useful and effective exercises to help with this transition and I have enjoyed doing just that since October 1,2022!
