Hi I'm Susan Gladstein

I know what it feels like to carry a dream in your heart—whether it’s for a baby, for energy, or simply to feel like yourself again.
After nine years of marriage and raising a beautifully blended family of five, I couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was missing. When my husband suggested a vasectomy reversal, I had no idea how deeply God would use that yes to change our lives.
Just months later, I received a military-mandated anthrax vaccine before deployment—triggering a wave of symptoms no one could explain. I was told I was fine. But I knew something was deeply wrong. During that six-month deployment, I cried out to God and chose a different path: one of detoxing, studying, and healing holistically—body, mind, and spirit.
After years of praying and rebuilding, I found out I was pregnant. At 40, I gave birth to Emma—our first vasectomy reversal miracle. And at 44, I gave birth to Ezra, a second beautiful testimony that God still writes the best stories.
Now, I help others do what I had to learn the hard way: to stop outsourcing healing to the world, and start trusting the way God designed our bodies to heal—with wisdom, intention, and faith.
As a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and Functional Nutrition Specialist, I guide clients through personalized, faith-led wellness strategies to restore energy, balance hormones, and reclaim the vibrant health they’ve been missing.
This isn’t just what I do—it’s my calling.
After everything I’ve walked through, I know how to help you find what I spent years searching for: real answers, deep healing, and a path forward that aligns with both your body and your faith.
If you’re ready to get to the root and feel truly supported—I’d consider it a blessing to be part of your healing journey.
and God led me to true healing

My Anchor in the Storm:
Jeremiah 29:11
Our Christmas Tradition: Why We Ditched Gifts for Memories
Believe it or not, we stopped doing Christmas gifts over 15 years ago. It started when my older kids, then 9 and 12, struggled to even think of things they wanted. Reflecting on my own childhood, I couldn’t recall most of the gifts I received, but I did remember a Christmas Eve scavenger hunt that led us all over town. The smell of rain, the crisp Texas air, the excitement of each new clue—it’s a memory that still feels vivid today.
That experience shaped our decision to skip the gifts and invest in creating unforgettable memories instead. Now, my grown kids still talk about those Christmases as their favorite. And as we continue the tradition with our vasectomy reversal babies, I know we’re crafting moments that will outlast anything wrapped under a tree.
Keeping the ’80s Alive: Dance Parties and Bike Rides
I’m that mom living like it’s 1989. Random kitchen dance parties? Yes, please. Busting moves in the grocery aisle? Absolutely. Music lights up my soul, and sharing that joy with my kids is one of my favorite things.
Then there’s my second love: cruising the neighborhood on bikes, full retro vibes. In 2020, I rediscovered the joy of bike rides, and it was like stepping back in time. Now, when Arizona isn’t blazing hot, we’re out there soaking up the fresh air and freedom.
Between dance-offs and bike rides, I’m keeping the best parts of the ’80s alive. Because some things—like a good beat and the wind in your hair—never go out of style.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
In 2019, this verse became my lifeline. I lost my bonus dad, then my grandfather shortly after. Grief weighed heavily, and military deployment meant missing my grandfather’s memorial. That year was marked by loss, anger, and shattered dreams of having another baby.
But every morning, in a windowless room halfway around the world, I chose to find hope. This verse reminded me that God’s plans are bigger than my pain. It taught me to see purpose where I only saw despair. Now, Jeremiah 29:11 is a constant reminder to keep moving forward, no matter the season.
