Welcome to my hippie little boho take on the world
Hi, I’m Suzanne!
I’m a Jersey girl down to my toes, but I let the wind carry me like dandelion fuzzies toward joyful explorations and new adventures. Wife, mom of three grown sons, wellness enthusiast, waterfall junkie, butterfly conservationist, and lifelong tree hugger.
As a Certified Forest Therapy Guide and Licensed Massage Therapist, I love helping people make room for peace, curiosity, and a little more play. Whether we’re in the woods, getting creative, or settling in for a massage, I want you to feel welcome and free to be yourself.
My Story
It Started With “Suzy Go Outside & Play!”
I heard those words almost every day growing up. My brothers were nearly grown when I was born, and we didn’t live in a neighborhood full of kids.
My parents knew there was a whole world waiting beyond the screen. So outside I went.
Fresh air and sunshine became my playmates. I climbed trees, played “Little House on the Prairie” in the backyard, and turned ordinary afternoons into adventures.
Even now, hiking with friends or jumping into waterfalls with my husband brings that little girl right back.
Why Come Play Outside?
It’s easy to get pulled into a screen, a busy schedule, or the endless to-do list. Time outdoors gives me room to pause, notice, and reconnect with what brings me joy, and sharing that is what Come Play Outside is all about.
You don’t have to know the names of all the trees or be an experienced hiker. Start with curiosity and see where it takes you.
A Little About My Approach
I like to make people feel better. That simple desire has guided nearly 25 years as a massage therapist and inspires every experience I create today.
Massage Therapy
I listen to your needs and preferences so your session feels personal, nurturing, and comfortable.
Forest Bathing
Gentle invitations to explore through your senses. We move slowly, savor quiet moments, and follow what catches our attention.
Creative Gatherings
Space to ask questions, try something new, laugh, and enjoy being together at craft and wellness classes.
Across all of it, I bring a love of nature, a playful spirit, and a belief that we could all use a little time to feel cared for.

A Few Things That Make Me, Me
I’ve been married for more than 30 years to the most handsome man, who loves my every scar, curve, and breath—and I, his. Together, we raised three amazing men who fill me with pride on the daily.
- 🌅 Sunsets over the Blue Ridge Mountains
- 🃏 Summer-long Rummy games until the fireflies come out
- 🥕 Cooking from scratch with farmers market finds
- 🦋 Watching butterflies flit and float
- 🚗 Belly laughs and impromptu road trips
- 🌼 Getting filthy in the garden with my heirloom perennials
Give me a waterfall, a winding trail, or something wonderful growing out of the ground, and I’m a happy girl.
Come Play Outside With Me
The outdoors and I are dear friends, and I’d love to introduce you two. I think you’ll REALLY hit it off! Join me for a guided forest bathing walk, a nature-inspired craft class, a wellness gathering, or a seasonal escape. Come solo or bring a friend.
Have a question before you join? I’d love to hear from you.
Pull Up a Log and Stay Awhile
Storytelling is my campfire, and there’s always room for another friend. On the blog, I share tales from my adventures, everyday discoveries, and the things I’m learning along the way.
Grab a cuppa tea and come wander and wonder with me.
