Suzette, proud Miami Dolphins Cheerleader Alumni, cheered from 1996-1997.  At the age of 6, Suzette was given full scholarship for over 10 years at a ballet school which led the way to later becoming a ballet teacher.  Once she got married and had children, she transferred her skillsets and became a Substitute Teacher at her boys' school.  The significance of self-care was deeply ingrained since her early years which grew a passion to become a health & wellness Coach.  During her cheerleading venture, she witnessed the transformative power of taking care of oneself alongside a community of like minded women.  The firsthand experience inspired her to share invaluable lessons learned to guide others on their journey towards a healthier, more balanced life.  Suzette's belief of self-care was instilled as a core value & has been a powerful catalyst for bringing positive change and overall wellbeing to women for over 7 years.  She is excited to serve the MDC Alumni Community and be a part of the ongoing legacy!
