Susan Laurent is an author, wellness professional, and entrepreneur whose work explores the quiet ways we lose ourselves while trying to be everything to everyone else.

With nearly two decades of experience helping others reconnect with themselves, Susan has built a career around the importance of human connection, healing, and personal well-being. Her dedication to her profession earned her the distinction of being voted Best Massage Therapist in Michigan in 2026.

Her debut book, Abandoning Me: Choosing Me After a Lifetime of Choosing Everyone Else, marks a deeply personal new chapter—one rooted in the understanding that sometimes the most important relationship we will ever rebuild is the one we have with ourselves.

Susan writes with honesty, depth, and a willingness to ask the questions we often spend a lifetime avoiding. Her work invites readers to look beyond who they have been taught to be and rediscover who they are when they finally begin choosing themselves.
