About

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 34 years of experience. At a young age, I saw my pregnant mom help my dad recover from cancer treatment while raising our family. As time went on, I always tried to help him eat the right foods as he also suffered from IBS. I found it fascinating how food, if properly chosen and prepared, could make his day, help him function and go to work, and be strong. This was when I realized how much I enjoyed helping people, and so I eventually pursued a career in dietetics. I went on to receive my Bachelor's degree in Dietetics from University of St. Joseph in West Hartford, CT and completed my clinical internship at the University of Connecticut Health Center Farmington, CT. Now, my specialties include a wide variety of areas, including weight management, gut health, diabetes, heart health, renal, autoimmune support, and women's health.

My coaching style

I have been fortunate to have advised clients on weight control, cardiovascular disease and hyperlipidemia, diabetes, disordered eating, kidney failure, connective tissue disease, food allergies, gastrointestinal conditions, and general healthy eating through menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking skills, evaluation of supplementation, medication/nutrition interactions and restaurant dining. I am known for my individualized, realistic approach with each person and believe this is what makes my clients successful.

I have enjoyed stressing a positive relationship with food and body for optimal health with various age groups including adults and pediatrics. Remote nutrition counseling with Thrive is a fantastic way to reach the client and their family in their own kitchen with their food labels.

Client testimonials

Susan Sheehy

As a teacher I work long hours and don't often have time to think about or prioritize my meals each week. I was finding I was often sluggish headed into the classroom and my lectures ended up being less engaging. Susan Sheehy transformed me. Her nutritional advice helped me prepare for my busy day and also get deeper insight into why I was holding onto so much weight. Turns out I was not eating enough! I lost 33 lbs and I have so much more energy. It has made classrooms livelier and I feel way better during the day. Highly recommend!!

Verified client

After a sports injury, I piled on 25lbs. Susan helped me lose it, teaching me to balance nutrition and exercise. She was also an amazing partner during what was an especially difficult time in my journey. She helped me eventually turn a setback into a comeback! I am extremely grateful for everything she did and for the partnership during that time.
