Hi I'm Dr. Suzie CarmackÂ
Over the past 33 years, I've been honored to coach thousands of clients to heal their practice of communication—within themselves and with others—including leaders and teams at federal and global government agencies.
My coaching is informed by my training as a scientist of health communication (PhD) and as a performing artist (MFA, Theatre), and by my certifications in yoga therapy (C-IAYT), health coaching (NBC-HWC), and leadership coaching (ICF PCC). I call my method YogaMedCo, because it brings the practices of yoga, lifestyle medicine, and coaching together into one system for healing how we communicate from the inside out.Â
I share this method with coaching clients through my four books and YogaMedCo app (iOS and Android). And I train professionals to apply the method's unique blend of talk- and movement-based coaching in their own work through our YogaMedCo continuing-education programs, approved by the American Council on Exercise, the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching, the Yoga Alliance, and the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
As a scholar-practitioner, I'm deeply committed to advancing research on the impact of yoga and coaching on whole health and well-being, even as I continue to coach clients and train professionals. In 2024, I co-authored a peer-reviewed article establishing group coaching guidelines for the field of health coaching. And in 2025, a pilot study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that my YogaMedCo coaching method was associated with significant improvement in physician-scientist well-being during the unprecedented stress of the COVID-19 pandemic.
