Wellness Coach and Motivational Speaker for Cancer Survivors Hueina Su Featured in Morris County NJ Daily Record Business



THE BASICS

Owner: Hueina Su, MS, BSN, CEC
Address: Denville, NJ 07834
Phone: (973) 664-0446
Find us on: Facebook.com/Hueina.Su, Twitter.com/HueinaSu
Hours of operation: by appointments only
Founded: 2005

THE DETAILS
Why did you start the business?
I started my first career as a registered nurse more than 23 years ago. Over the years, I’ve worked in nursing, counseling, education, nonprofit and started several businesses. Every career I took on involved helping others improve the quality of their lives. In 2004 I was looking to reinvent myself again, and a good friend of mine told me about life coaching. What attracted me to coaching was the fact that I could continue to help people improve their lives while integrating all my previous education and skills. Being a mom and a former nurse, I have experienced and overcome stress and “nurturing burnout,” and I understand the serious consequences of chronic stress. That’s why I chose to work with healthcare professionals, family caregivers, working moms, women business owners and other women nurturers, and help them with stress management, work-life balance, self-care and self-empowerment. It is my mission to help one million women nurturers put Intensive Self-Care as their top priority, and create the life of their choice. Through personal coaching, keynote speaking, workshops, corporate training and consulting, I provide inspiration, practical strategies and innovative solutions for my clients.


If you could do it again, what would you do differently?
If I could do it again, I would’ve hired a high-caliber business and marketing coach. If I had a great coach from day one, I wouldn’t have to go through all the trials and errors. It would’ve saved me so much time, energy and money!


What's the best business advice you have ever received?
My parents always told me to get the best education and never stop learning. I always try to keep current with my professional training, as well as business skills. I invest in tens of thousands of dollars every year in working with coaches and mentors, as well as attending conferences and training programs. My clients benefit greatly from my learning. In this time and age, everything is changing so fast. You really have to keep learning and adapting, invest in yourself and your business, or your business simply won’t survive.


What personality trait helps you the most?
I’m compassionate, calming and insightful. I have a way of seeing through the “old programming” of my clients and giving them empowering new perspectives and solutions. Also, I’m a great listener and connect with people easily.


What's the hardest part of the job?
As I am expanding my practice, I need to build a support team. Finding the right people is the hardest part.


The easiest?
The easiest part of my job is coaching clients, writing my books, delivering keynotes because these are all the things I love. With the internet and different technologies, I can easily work with clients from all over the world, no matter where I am.


I heard that you are a keynote speaker and you speak internationally. Where do you speak?
I deliver keynotes at government agencies, professional organizations, corporations, nonprofit, medical, nursing & women’s conferences such as FDA, American Cancer Society, Northeast Regional Oncology Nursing Conference, Women’s Institute Annual Conference and at different spa resorts & retreats. I also make guest appearances on national TV and radio shows such as Lifetime TV, and Flourish! with Dr. Christiane Northrup on Hay House Radio.

This August, I’m invited to deliver a keynote at Taiwan Joint Conference in Health Care, an international medical and public health policy conference in Taipei, Taiwan. I will be addressing 700-800 medical doctors and hospital administrators, sharing the principles and strategies from my best-seller Intensive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul: 7 Keys to Nurture Yourself While Caring for Others. I’m honored and very excited about this opportunity.


What topics do you speak on?
I speak on stress management, self-care for caregivers, and women’s empowerment. My most requested topics are: Claim Your Peaceful Power for True Happiness, Inner Peace and Unstoppable Success, Intensive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul (How to Nurture Yourself While Caring for Others), Nurture and Grow Rich (3 Keys to Building a Thriving, Sustainable Business), and Sailing Through Your Breast Cancer Journey.


What makes you different from other coaches and speakers?
What sets me apart from other speakers and coaches is the 5,000 years of ancient Chinese wisdom and culture behind me. Brought up in Taiwan and trained in the U.S., I am known for my wisdom, compassion, and the way I blend my Eastern philosophy and Western training in solving modern day problems. In addition, I focus on helping my clients overcome both inner and outer obstacles, instead of just dealing with the “symptoms” of their problems. Just like you can’t just put on a band-aid when you have an infection on your arm, you can’t solve your problem by going for a quick fix or only dealing with the symptoms. No matter what my clients’ challenges are, whether it’s stress, life balance, self-confidence or business issues, I help them get to the root cause of their issue, and provide practical strategies and action plans.


What's your least expensive product or service?
The least expensive product (and it's free) is my introductory 7-Part Video E-Course “Taming the Invisible Chaos” and the other free download is Intensive Self-Care Kit at www.HueinaSu.com


The most expensive?
The most expensive yet the most effective program is my Private Platinum VIP Coaching Program where my clients get to coach and consult with me one-on-on to create their vision and strategic plan, followed by a year-long private coaching and support from me. This is also the most valuable and powerful program that can help you transform your life and business to a whole new level.


Any major projects and programs since the last interview?
Since June 2010, I have been leading the Mindful Wellness Coaching and Stress Management Program at Sparta Cancer Center in Sparta, New Jersey. Over 80 cancer patients and caregivers have participated and benefited from the stress relief coaching program.  Recently, I was the keynote speaker at a Breast Cancer Survivorship Conference “Sailing Through Your Breast Cancer Journey”, which was organized by Summit Breast Care and Beyond Horizon Coaching (my company), and sponsored by Sparta Cancer Center, Newton Memorial Hospital, Sussex County Cancer Coalition and Project Self-Sufficiency. It was well-received and we had almost 100 people at the event.


Do you have any new program, service and event coming up?
I’m launching a new women’s empowerment and self-mastery program for heart-centered high-achieving professional women and entrepreneurs called the V.E.N.U.S. Circle. This is a program designed for women who understand the value and importance of working on themselves for their long-term success, happiness and well-being. Your business will grow only as much as who you are being. So all successful people know in order to up-level their success, they must continue to learn and master themselves personally and professionally.

Another exciting news is that I am a featured expert in a new personal development movie called “The Keeper of the Keys” starring Jack Canfield, (best-selling author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series) and Marci Shimoff (best-selling author of Happy for No Reasons). I’m so honored work with Jack and Marci who are also featured experts in the phenomenally successful personal development movie, “The Secret.” This new movie “The Keeper of the Keys” will empower viewers by introducing them to the Universal Laws and how they can use these laws, or “keys”, to positively transform their own lives. It is set to release in December 2011 with a red-carpet premiere in Las Vegas.


What message would you like to share with the community?
So many people have lost their confidence and inner peace due to recent economic downturn or their circumstances. You might be stressed, overwhelmed, and even frozen in fear. The problem is not the external circumstances and chaos. You must remove the internal “Invisible Chaos” that keep you stressed, stuck, and sabotaging your own success. I have transformed myself from a painfully shy, insecure, depressed young girl from Asia to an international keynote speaker, best-selling author, and attracted amazing opportunities and success. I can help you transform yourself and create a life of your choice too!

Protect Your Skin from the Sun and Cancer


It isn't possible or practical to avoid sunlight completely, and it would be unwise to reduce your level of activity to avoid the outdoors because physical activity is important for good health. But too much sunlight can be harmful. There are some steps you can take to limit your exposure to UV rays.

Some people think about sun protection only when they spend a day at the lake, beach, or pool. But sun exposure adds up day after day, and it happens every time you are in the sun.

"Slip! Slop! Slap!… and Wrap" is a catch phrase that can help you remember the 4 key steps you can take to protect yourself from UV rays:
  • Slip on a shirt.
  • Slop on sunscreen.
  • Slap on a hat.
  • Wrap on sunglasses to protect the eyes and sensitive skin around them.
These steps complement each other, and they provide the best protection when used together.

New Research Shows Few Breast Cancer Survivors Regret Their Decision for Double Mastectomy

Breast cancer affects about one in eight U.S. women, according to the National Cancer Institute. Nearly 90 percent will survive five years or more.

Previous research found that women who had undergone prophylactic double mastectomy were satisfied with their decision soon after the surgery.

A new research shows that those who were comfortable with that decision still are many years after. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., questioned hundreds of women who sacrificed a healthy breast in the hope of avoiding another cancer. Twenty years after their surgery, 97 percent said they would make the same decision again.

With today's improved breast reconstruction techniques, women are likely "to be even happier with the results" than they were in decades past, noted Dr. Stephanie Bernik, chief of surgical oncology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, who is familiar with the findings.

Surgical treatments include lumpectomy (excision of the tumor and surrounding tissue), mastectomy (removal of the diseased breast) or double mastectomy (removal of both breasts). A prophylactic double mastectomy does not guarantee that the cancer will not recur.

Adjunct treatment may include radiation, chemotherapy or hormone therapy.

After another 10 years, the majority were surveyed once more. Complete results were available for 269 women.

In the initial survey, 86 percent said they were satisfied with their decision and 95 percent said they would repeat the procedure if they had to again. In the 20-year follow-up, 90 percent expressed satisfaction with their decision and 97 percent said they would repeat it.

However, about 30 percent in both time periods said they had suffered from negative body image, and nearly a quarter said their sense of femininity and sexual relationships were affected. Those effects did not increase with time, the results showed.

Experts say the prospects for women who undergo mastectomy today are much improved from 20 years ago. "We have procedures now that they didn't even have when the women in this study had their surgeries," Bernik said.

For instance, breast reconstruction now often accompanies the cancer surgery. The important thing is for women to come to terms with the decision, said Bernik.

"We don't push it [double mastectomy]," she said. Often, a young woman will have children, nurse them, and then decide to have the second breast removed, she noted.

According to Bernik, about 10 percent of breast cancers are caused by genetic mutations, and women who have family members already diagnosed with breast cancer are at higher risk if the cancer is genetically influenced.
 
Other risk factors for breast cancer are age or long exposure to estrogen, which occurs when menstruation begins at an early age and continues past 50, said Boughey. Women who give birth to a first child later in life are also at higher risk, she noted. Men can also develop breast cancer, but it is uncommon.

Breast cancer patients are doing better these days than even five or 10 years ago, said Boughey.
