Biography – Suzanne Petrucci
Life Design Behavioral Health, LLC – Established 2014
Life Design Behavioral Health, LLC represents the culmination of Suzanne Petrucci’s decades-long dedication to coaching, personal development, and entrepreneurial innovation. Her professional journey began in 1999 with Life Design Coaching and Counseling, a boutique practice in Marlton, New Jersey, where she discovered her passion for coaching while completing her clinical licensing.
Suzanne founded her own coaching institute, offering ICF-accredited coach training, and later merged with IPEC, one of only 13 internationally accredited ICF training institutes, where she served as Associate Director. She became known as the Comcast Coach, providing Empowerment Coaching services to sports executives connected to Comcast Spectator.
Her entrepreneurial path continued at the Wharton Management Program at the University of Pennsylvania, where she studied the business of life and launched two businesses: one in alternative pet healthcare, Aromatherapets, and another focused on human wellness.
As Chief Provider Officer of Life Design Health Management Alternative LLC (LDHMA), Suzanne introduced innovative healthcare management models integrating Life Design Coaches and alternative health providers, successfully partnering with organizations like Goldman Sachs and sports executives under Comcast Spectator.
Suzanne holds certifications as a Neuro Change Practitioner and a Professional Empowerment Coach since 1999, with extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-based approaches. Her work combines clinical expertise, coaching, and entrepreneurial leadership to create transformational experiences for individuals and organizations.
