At GOT, our mission is to create safe, engaging, and effective wellness environments that foster physical health, mental resilience, and personal growth. I proudly lead a passionate team dedicated to helping individuals overcome technology addiction and related behavioral challenges through structured, screen-free activities focused on movement, nutrition, and social connection.

As Founder and President, Suzanne directly oversees the design, implementation, and evaluation of all GOT programs and referrals. She is especially focused on supporting youth, teens, and young adults who struggle with the growing impact of excessive screen use.
