Suzi became the owner of the Centre in 2006, and has continued to provide the same exceptional level of service and high quality selection of herbs and supplements that has long been the standard. Suzi has further realized a long-time goal of expanding the Centre by creating a beautiful store which offers many additional items that enhance one’s healing journey. Suzi's training and experience enable her to assist clients and their animal companions in reaching optimal health and well-being. She shares her life with her family of rescued and other animals, including horses, donkeys, dogs, and birds, and is most relaxed when enveloped in the mountains of Vermont.
