EAT FREELY • LIVE FULLY
When Brayden was around 2 years old we found out about his life threatening allergy to peanuts and most other tree nuts and were told to avoid them all, which we strictly did. He also had terrible asthma and was on around 5 medications at one point to manage his breathing issues. As the years went by, somehow Brayden turned into a sick little boy. His stomach started to hurt just about every day and got so bad it hindered our ability to even leave the house without tears due to stomach aches. As an allergy kid mom, I also felt like as the years went by I felt desperate to help him feel better and get rid of these food allergies and stomach issues.
We started with Susie and managed to successfully conquer all his nut allergies one by one, finally finishing with peanuts, which his IgE numbers were over 100 for. He did it, we did it! I can hardly believe it, through A.R.T. and the determined and patient work of Susie and my son and I, he is allergy free. The stomach aches are gone. He doesn't randomly start wheezing anymore for no reason. He doesn't worry about eating outside of our home anymore, he is free! We are free and it's one of the best gifts we could have ever hoped for him. All of that fear that hung over us due to being an allergy kid and allergy kid mom, is lifted away ever since we started. What a journey we have been on, a life changing journey. I pray that all allergy kids and families will be fortunate enough to experience the freedom we now have. Thank you Susie and A.R.T. for doing this life changing work, because that truly is what it is. Life. Changing. There is finally hope for those who suffer from allergies, and it's A.R.T.!

“Susie made our lives normal again.”
Noelle’s allergies were to Walnut, Pecan, Cashew, Pistachio and Brazil nut. She also struggled with skin issues, lactose intolerance and asthma. It has been amazing to see my daughter go from a sickly child who was underweight to a healthy child. A.R.T. has totally changed our lives in so many ways. I am so happy that we were able to give Noelle this gift and now she will enjoy a full life without fearing food. Susie made our lives normal again in so many ways and we are truly grateful.

I developed sensitivity to meat in middle school (probably earlier) and reacted anywhere from eczema and large hives that scarred to vomiting but was able to keep it under control by being careful about eating cleaner meats and less of it. After going through pregnancy with each of my two children my immune response became increasingly more sensitive such that I would get hives if my kids kissed me after eating meat. I was introduced to Allergy Release Technique from a friend of mine that had all three of her children treated for food allergies that caused anaphylaxis. Working with Susie has been life changing, I am now able to eat anything and she got rid of all my seasonal allergies as well. Susie truly rebalanced my system and it has stayed that way.
With ART, Susie was able to detect other food and environmental allergens that my immune system was responding to that I was not even aware of. The treatments are non-invasive which was an important factor for me, and my kids. No painful shots, blood samples and skin tests like those used in traditional allergy treatments but most importantly it is a cure.
I had Susie treat my five-year old son for food and environmental allergies and he is so happy to not have food restrictions and not have to take oral allergy medication anymore for pollens and molds. I will have her treat my daughter in the near future.
Susie herself is a warm and wonderful person. She and her children have suffered from allergies so she has experienced all this firsthand and understands her clients. She truly wants to help people.

Danny started working with Master practitioner Susie Lee-Snell in October 2017 and had allergies to peanuts and tree nuts. Here he is 2 ½ years later eating a Reese’s peanut butter cup and he can eat anything he wants at restaurants we don’t even have to say that we have any allergies at the table anymore and he can go to a birthday party and enjoy al the treats without any anxiety. I will forever be grateful to Susie and this whole process. It is a commitment but that is a small price to pay for a lifetime of allergy free living. Thank you so much for everything Susie!!

Here’s my boy~Mason, 3 years old and enjoying a PB&J! I never thought it would happen. Mason was anaphylactic to peanuts, all tree nuts, AND eggs!! I remember touring preschools and terrified of him going there without me. He would eat anything at that age. He couldn’t comprehend that he could die from eating a bite of someone’s food, and frankly, I couldn’t either. Our family stopped eating all nuts, eggs and didn’t go out to eat in fear of cross-contamination. This is how allergy parents live. I never understood it until I lived it. I spent countless hours researching the best methods and most successful ways in treating food allergies and it led me to A.R.T. and Susie. Mason started getting weekly treatments at 18 months old with Susie and just graduated at 3!!! He now FREELY eats eggs, peanuts and all tree nuts! Our family can now enjoy eating out, getting ice cream and traveling without fear. My happiest moment in all of this was recently signing Mason up for preschool and checking off NO FOOD ALLERGIES! I can’t thank Susie enough for changing all of our lives. We are forever grateful.

When I met Susie Lee-Snell our lives all changed for the better. Susie was nothing short of amazing! We settled into our routine of weekly visits with her quite easily. As we progressed through the process, my kids allergies started to disappear before my eyes. Susie helped my kids use their mind body connection to overcome the fear often associated with eating foods they had so long been told to avoid. She even helped this then nervous mom keep it together. My kids looked up to Susie. I can think back to my son, 5 years old at the time, attending a birthday party and when the kid next to him could not eat cake, he looked him straight in the face and said “You need to go see Susie”.
There are so many firsts my kids went through that were giant milestones...from that first ice cream cone or donut at Dunkin Donuts to not telling a server at a restaurant someone at our table has allergies. I could go on and on. Most vividly I recall the moment I looked over at my daughter as we were driving home from an appointment with Susie where she had been given the green light to eat a certain candy bar. She had tears in her eyes as she took the first bite. I asked, “What was wrong?” and she said, “I had always wondered what one of these tasted like. I have always watched other people eat them and I thought I just never would.” She had been so good about not complaining about her allergies, I never knew she felt this way. I mean the impact of this change does not get any more satisfying than that!

Working with Susie and the ART program has given me a new outlook on my life. It feels so good to finally be able to let go of the constant worry of having a reaction or stress about finding something safe for me to eat. It has also taken the worry off of everyone around me who was so good at protecting me. I am so grateful for Susie helping me through this ART process, and I am so excited to continue to live my new life free of worry!

Susie is amazing. My daughter started with Susie when she was just 3 years old due to a peanut and tree nut allergy. Susie was patient, kind and made my daughter (and me) feel completely comfortable... and we truly enjoyed our time with her. As the process moved on, my daughter at times, had set backs with the nuts she was eating (aka refusing to eat them :) and Susie took it in stride, helping her come up with mantras to support her and modified the treatment plan based on what would work best for her. While we were working with Susie we also learned that my daughter had cold urticaria, where she would break out in hives when in the cold. Susie quickly incorporated a treatment for that into my daughter's treatment plan and the results for that quickly became visible. Over the course of time we worked with Susie my daughter was treated for the urticaria, hazelnuts, pistachios, cashews and peanuts. She now loves Nutella and eats that regularly and will eat the other nuts very often... and they are now regularly part of her diet. To not have to worry anymore about my daughter's safety is such a relief and I cannot thank Susie enough for providing us with so much freedom in what she eats and freedom in the fear of the "what if". One day my daughter bit into a cookie that she thought was an M&M cookie... and it was a Reese's peanut butter cookie... and she was fine! The thoughts of the "what if" came into my mind, but this time a different "what if"... "what if she didn't work with Susie". Thank you so much Susie!!

My name is Riley and I’m a 16 year old sophomore. Up until September of 2019 I had been fatally allergic to peanuts my whole life. I was lucky enough to discover ART and I’m so grateful for my health coach Susie Lee-Snell! By seeing Susie once a week for a little over a year I overcame all of my food allergies and sensitivities to things like eggs, milk, apples, pears, and lots of other fruits! Susie also helped me to overcome my eczema and seasonal allergies which has been completely life changing!
I’m so happy to have worked with Susie because now I eat whatever I want without having to think twice about it, I no longer have to read food labels and carrying my epi pen is a thing of the past!

Ian first started seeing Susie for a peanut allergy he had since he was two years old. Ian also had been using two inhalers for asthma. Susie worked with Ian for 17 months on strengthening his immune system, slowly and carefully re-introducing several foods that Ian had Oral Allergy Syndrome to, and then advancing to peanuts and peanut butter. But the most important part of the ART for Ian was addressing the mind body connection and creating new neural pathways to the brain around peanuts. It was hard for him to comprehend that he could eat something that he was told for the last 14 years might kill him. So Susie incorporated more focused positive affirmations and EFT tapping to help create new neural pathways to the brain. It wasn’t long before Ian was able to confidently move forward and he finally was able to integrate peanuts at age 15! Ian is now able to eat whatever he wants whenever he wants, including new favorites like Snickers and Nutter Butter cookies, and a long awaited cheeseburger and fries at Five Guys! He no longer has to carry EpiPen‘s or asthma inhalers. Now a high school sophomore, Ian can look forward to attending college without any restrictions, fear or anxiety. We are forever grateful to Susie for her expertise, perseverance, and loving dedication to eradicating food allergies.
