About Susanne Murtha

I\'m a passionate health and wellness coach and group facilitator dedicated to improving the lives of people managing chronic pain. I have seen how client-centered support, evidence-based resources, and individually-chosen lifestyle strategies effectively address contributors to pain. Understanding each client\'s most valued activities are key to determining which bio-psycho-social factors to prioritize. This increases self-efficacy and motivation to take manageable steps toward an increase in resiliency and health years.I am a motivated lifelong learner in both Eastern and Western perspectives on health. My expertise in coaching competencies includes Motivational Interviewing, Appreciative Inquiry, strengths-focused reflections, the Transtheoretical Model, and mindset awareness. I thrive as part of a care team, working one-on-one and facilitating groups. My background as a teacher of mindfulness, breathing practices, quick stress-reduction tips, and body-centric strategies for over 25 years complements my coaching. • Hinge Health Ops Award winner (9/22) for the coach with the most member-appreciation emails • Hinge Health employee-of-the-month \"Cockroach Award\" in October 2019 • Certified Pain Management Coach • National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach • Board Certified Coach • Bachelor\'s Degree in Community and Human Services specializing in Health Promotion • Certified iRest Meditation Facilitator • Certified ACE Personal Trainer• NASM Women\'s Fitness Specialist • Certified Yoga Therapist and Ayurvedic Consultant• Multiple Yoga Teacher certifications
