Self-care that fits into everyday life
Small, powerful habits for busy individuals & caregivers
Welcome
Hi, I’m Susanne (but everyone calls me Susie). I’m a working mom of two, a founding team member of a successful tech company, a health coach, and a caregiver to my husband through cancer - twice.
I know firsthand that while health challenges are universal, the path to resilience is deeply personal. And self-care isn’t one more thing to add to your to-do list; it’s the foundation for everything else in your life.
That’s why I created the Make Waves Mama community: to help busy individuals and caregivers find practical, personalized ways to stay strong. We believe that resilience isn’t something we find, it’s something we build - and no one should have to build it alone.
Our approach to self-care is simple: it’s about finding small, actionable steps that fit into your everyday life - because that’s where real change happens.
