Susan Tucker, NBC-HWC
Welcome to my health and wellness coaching practice Green Beat Life!
I'm certified by the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching. The National Board Certification credential, in collaboration with the National Board of Medical Examiners, represents the profession’s highest standards in training, education, and assessment. I received my foundational health and wellness certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Additionally, I was educated in culinary nutrition at the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City. My further training and expertise include Motivational Interviewing and Stress Management. With a bio-psycho-social approach and the client-centered model as the cornerstones of my practice, my coaching delivers a high level of accountability and engagement. That means we consider the whole of you - how your unique body works, your mindset, and what is around you, socially and environmentally.
I'm a seasoned, passionate coach empowering individuals to embrace their self-care enthusiastically and excitedly. Serving clients from executives to entrepreneurs to individual wellness seekers from a diverse array of backgrounds, for 10 years, I have worked with clients to understand any wellness goal includes attention to logistics, powerful resets, and balance...and the peaks and valleys of navigating one's optimal wellness path. My approach closes the gap from where you are now to where you want to be. I believe that wellness is an essential life skill, which allows my clients to discover the joy in loving how they feel.
From 2019 - 2022, I brought my coaching skills and talents to Vida Health, a telehealth company, coaching individuals from diverse backgrounds, in exercise, stress management, resilience, weight loss, and improving dietary habits.
My wellness tips and hacks have been featured in online publications including Prevention, Shondaland, Hello Giggles, VegNews, Women's Health, Stylecaster, EatThis NotThat, and Muscle & Fitness Magazine. I have offered industry consulting services to beauty and lifestyle companies, including Estee Lauder, and start-up wellness companies.

Becoming Plant-Based
For more than 30 years, I've enjoyed a healthy and balanced plant-based dietary lifestyle. Turning to plants for food and nourishment isn't just crucial for our well-being, it's also vital for the health of our planet. The earth provides us with opportunities to optimize our wellness and healing with plant-based choices.
I enjoy checking out the new vegan hot spots in my hometown of New York City, and visiting my favorite go-to establishments. When I travel, I love experiencing the growing plant-based cultures and communities around the world. It's happening!
Becoming a Health and Wellness Coach
Years ago, I found myself swept away by corporate culture, and my dietary life was compromised. I mostly ate out or on-the-go under extreme stress. My mood, digestion and energy were greatly compromised. I did some self-study, and became fascinated by the way people eat, observing the problematic habits, behaviors, and challenges both physical and emotional that arise due to lifestyle and food choices. I noticed that most people ate for speed and convenience, not for well-being, due the stressors of life and known behaviors that had become the norm. I believe that it is possible to bring wellness, balance, and mindful eating into our busy lives...and find joy in it. I saw that this is an essential life skill that is more than often, overlooked. Combining my passion for the plant-based approach, I was inspired to pursue health and wellness coaching.
Company Mission
The name Green Beat Life represents a heart that beats with vibrant health and wellness from a whole food, plant-based diet. It reflects a compassionate heart that knows our food choices influence the well-being of ourselves and our environment.
I offer health and wellness coaching services to support individuals who are genuinely interested in achieving wellness and balance through diet and lifestyle, with an emphasis on the plant-based approach. There is such joy in loving your dietary path and loving how you feel. Health and wellness coaching is the bridge that helps you close the gap from where you are now and where you want to be. You will overcome barriers and translate your goals to real actions for lasting results.
