About Suzanne
Hi, I’m Suzanne.
During more than two decades in the finance industry, I saw something traditional advice alone wasn’t addressing.
Many accomplished individuals were doing everything “right” on paper. Yet still felt uncertain around money and, at times, made decisions that didn’t serve them.
Not because they lacked intelligence.
Because no one had shown them how to lead themselves financially.
That realisation led me to create Mindful Finances in 2021 and develop The Aligned Wealth Method™.
Today, my work supports women and couples to build the clarity, confidence and structure to lead themselves financially so they can create wealth that supports their whole life.
What I’ve come to understand is this:
Real change doesn’t come from more information.
It comes from seeing yourself, your patterns and your decisions more clearly.
As a Projector 6/2 in Human Design, I’m naturally wired to observe, synthesise and guide, helping you recognise what’s often overlooked and move forward with clarity, confidence and choice.

Why This Work Exists
Most of what we know about money isn’t formally taught.
It's absorbed through families, experiences, cultural messages and what we observe growing up.
Over time, those experiences shape how safe we feel with money, how we make decisions and how much responsibility we’re willing to hold.
This is why accomplished women can appear successful externally while still feeling uncertain financially.
Not because they lack ability.
Because financial leadership was never intentionally developed.
And because money decisions are rarely just logical.
Our experiences with money shape both how we think about it and how our nervous system responds to it.
When uncertainty or pressure shows up financially, the body often reacts automatically through avoidance, over-analysis or deferring decisions to others. All of which I experienced personally before exploring my own relationship with money.
Over time these responses influence the behaviours and habits we develop with money.
This is why simply providing more financial information rarely creates lasting change.
My work brings together behavioural awareness, financial structure and identity-level change so women can build the capacity to lead themselves financially.
This is where confidence with money begins to feel natural rather than forced.

My Journey
I've spent more than twenty years working within the finance industry, including 8 years as a Financial Adviser.
During that time I helped 100's of clients grow significant wealth.
But I also noticed something important.
Financial strategy alone didn't create confidence.
Many people with strong incomes and sophisticated investment structures still felt anxious, avoidant or disconnected when it came to money, including myself.
That experience and observation changed the direction of my work.
I became interested in the behavioural, psychological and emotional patterns that shape our financial lives.
Since then I have trained extensively in money coaching, behavioural finance, nervous system regulation and emotional processing along with financial wellbeing.
Today my work sits at the intersection of:
Money
Behaviour
Identity
Financial structure
Because sustainable wealth is not created through knowledge alone.
It's built through Financial Self-Leadership.
This is also why my approach is different.
As a Projector 6/2, my work is not about pushing or overwhelming you with more to do.
It’s about guiding you to see what’s driving your financial behaviour, helping you build awareness and supporting you to move forward in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.
