DR. SUZANNE’S BIO
Suzanne was working with the human body and healing as a massage therapist long before becoming a chiropractor. Before that, her fascination 
with movement began at birth! A native New Yorker, Suzanne spent most of her youth training and competing in gymnastics, switching to diving at 16, that earned her a scholarship to the University of Richmond where she was a national competitor and Division I diving record holder.
After receiving her Bachelors in Sport Science at Richmond, Suzanne’s work allowed her the opportunity to travel the world. Upon her return to New York, and continuing studies as a massage therapist, she first happened upon the principle that the nervous system was the control center of health and vitality. It was during this time that she was introduced to the concepts of eastern healing arts and the understanding that chiropractors are doctors of the nervous system. While completing her doctorate she jumped at the opportunity to work in a hospital in Zi Gong, China, where she not only introduced the Chinese to chiropractic, she was also able to learn from acupuncturists and revisit the eastern concepts of energy healing.
That final step in her education lead her to Network Wellness Care and training under Donnie Epstein. His transformative model of Reorganizational Healing utilizes Network Spinal Analysis and Somato Respiratory Integration as tools to help individuals connect and create strategies of healing from within. Dr. Suzanne asks you to suspend the western model of medicine and visit the idea that you are a self-healing being that has all the tools inside of you to be well.
Because of her extensive training Suzanne has developed a holistic healing session utilizing chiropractic, energy work and massage.
Suzanne brings her passion for sports and athleticism to NWC by working with young athletes. As a gymnast and diver, she was not exposed to chiropractic and directly attributes spinal misalignments and unresolved subluxations to her health issues. Suzanne underwent shoulder surgery, has dealt with disc herniation’s, headaches, concussions, attention deficits and unbelievable muscle tension, all of which could have been avoided had she been under chiropractic care. “The longer that I let subluxations and tension build up in my body, the harder and harder life became to deal with. Subluxations are caused by three things: thoughts, toxins and traumas. Being well-adjusted has improved the quality of my life and allowed me to remain happy and active, even with all the self imposed traumas my lifestyle choices have thrown at me. I believe in living life to the fullest, and chiropractic lets me do that.”
NWC is a special place. It is an urban sanctuary for the New Yorker who lives at an unbelievable pace. NWC provides the space and opportunity for the body to integrate the experiences we live with, every day as New Yorkers.
Suzanne would be honored to assist you in living life to your fullest potential.

ABOUT NETWORK SPINAL ANAYLISIS
Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) is practiced soley by doctors of Chiropractic.
Although patients of NSA report a wide variety of transformative health and wellness changes, NSA practitioners do not heal their patients or treat disease. Instead they utilize a combination of traditional chiropractic approaches, pinpointing vertebral subluxations and adjusting them, in conjunction with the unique NSA approach of using gentle and specific low force touch to spinal gateways, which strengthen neural pathways and allow the body to function at its highest potential and heal itself.
What are spinal gateways? Spinal Gateways are locations of the spine and neck where large amounts of neurological sensors lead directly to your brain triggering healing to transpire. The spine also experiences a release in tensions allowing for freer communication to the “higher brain” (frontal lobes/cerebral cortex) the part of the brain responsible for awareness, thought and consciousness amongst other things.
People receiving treatments of NSA experience an array of powerful and far reaching effects on their wellness and life. Some examples are:
- a greater self-awareness
- an awakening of the relationships between the body, mind and emotion
- greater improvement of their overall quality of life
- dissipation of stress levels
- a resolve to make healthier dietary and life choices
- a diverse amount of physical ailments have been reported by patients to dissolve or dissipate altogether, including headaches, backaches, stiff necks and more
FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The spinal cord is the information super highway between the brain and the body. That is why NSA is so powerful. We utilize light specific touch to strengthen the neural pathways between your brain and your body. With a stronger nervous system you can better adapt and thrive during stressful times. Think about it as upgrading your internal software (no one should be running on Windows 97)
Through consistant care, our nervous system is strengthened affording us better health and a better ability to cope with any impending difficulties, health related issues or trauma that life presents.
