Biographies

Suzanne Roth is the visionary force behind Paths to Empowerment, where her dedication to holistic healing and professional expertise come together to create a transformative experience for her clients. As a licensed massage therapist, Suzanne embraces a comprehensive and compassionate approach to health and well-being, truly focusing on the whole person.

With specialized certifications in manual lymph drainage and Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET), Suzanne brings a unique set of skills to her practice. She has the distinction of establishing the only NAET Certified Treatment Center in Naples, FL, reinforcing her commitment to innovative and effective healing methods. Suzanne also holds several professional degrees.

Suzanne's journey into holistic therapies was significantly influenced by her personal encounters with severe allergies from childhood into adulthood. Plagued by debilitating reactions to numerous foods and environmental factors, she sought conventional medical advice that recommended extreme measures like "living in a bubble" and carrying an epi pen at all times. Traditional treatments, including allergy shots, provided no relief and often exacerbated her symptoms.

Her life took a pivotal turn when she discovered NAET, a treatment that dramatically alleviated her food, environmental, chemical, and animal dander allergies. Today, Suzanne enjoys a life free from allergy symptoms, has not needed an allergy pill in three years, and relishes the companionship of her dog, Ted. None of this would have been possible without NAET. This profound personal transformation fueled her passion for bringing the benefits of NAET to others.

At Paths to Empowerment, Suzanne combines her professional expertise with a deeply empathetic understanding of her clients’ struggles. Her mission is to guide individuals towards improved health and empowerment, helping them to achieve their highest potential in wellness. Suzanne's dedication to her practice is not just a career choice but a heartfelt commitment born from her own journey of empowerment.
