Gratitude has been shown to be the most effective way to rewire our brain to be more positive.  And, did you know there are many ways of doing gratitude – and some are more effective than others!  At its optimum, gratitude connects us to others, changes our heart rhythm and reduces stress, improves immune function, we sleep longer and deeper, we feel more joyful, more compassionate, more generous, more productive at work, it enhances self esteem, resilience and we generally feel more alive.

Suzanne (along with her colleague Sarah Carruthers) spent 18 months researching gratitude, and wrote their book ‘The Ultimate Gratitude Practice’ which was published in 2023.

This practical, interactive workshop will share with you: the key components of an effective, embodied, gratitude practice; how to use your multiple intelligences to amplify the results; and how to weave in the power of stories to take the outcome to a whole new level.

If you have heard about “doing” gratitude, or maybe you have even done a simple practice like thinking of three things every day you are grateful for, and you would like to know how to take your gratituding practices to the next level to see amazing results – then come and join us, for a day you will not forget.

Dr Suzanne Henwood

Suzanne started her working life in healthcare – moving from being a practitioner in Diagnostic Imaging, to educator and to Associate Professor. She has 30+ years’ experience of teaching and training at an advanced level and is an Award Winning  Neuroscience based Coach and a Trainer, a Mindfulness Facilitator, a Map of Meaning facilitator and a Master Trainer of Coaches in Multiple Intelligences.

She is also trained in Polyvagal Informed Therapy, ACT, Havening, Heartmath, IDT (Interactive Drawing Therapy), Time Line Therapy,  Existential Coaching, Map of Meaning, The Emotional Culture Deck, Solution Focused Brief Therapy for severe stress and anxiety and Refocussing Counselling.  Suzanne works as a Neuroscience Based Coach and Counsellor, integrating her skills and working in an integrated, systemic and embodied way. 

She has authored numerous books, book chapters, magazine articles and writes regularly for Great Health Guide, Worldwide Coaching Magazine and Rapport.  In October 2024, she contributed to the Amazon Best Seller ‘Courage’. Suzanne brings a down to earth, practical and pragmatic approach (along with a sense of humour!) to share her ongoing learning, her workshops are highly evaluated and in 2022 she was one of three finalists in a Global Award for Education and Training through ANLP and in both 2023 and 2024 she was named the Best Neuroscience Based Coach in NZ, by two different awarding bodies. 

Suzanne, along with Sarah Carruthers, have published a book ‘The Ultimate Gratitude Journal’ (the forward of which was written by Professor Paul Gilbert, OBE).

The Ultimate Gratitude Journal makes developing an effective daily practice that will rewire your brain to be healthier and happier easy: making being grateful as natural as breathing.  Being accountable will not only short-circuit negative thought loops, but will help you shift your focus to a positive one, cultivate mindfulness and create a different way of living.  

Our brains have an in-built negativity bias: designed not to make us happy, but to help us survive.  But by focusing on what’s wrong, and keeping us safe, it can lead us to feeling stressed, worried, fearful, sad… even though there are lots of positive things going on in our lives.  In effect, the brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones. 

The Ultimate Gratitude Journal makes developing an effective daily practice easy: making being grateful as natural as breathing.
