Real stories of personal breakthroughs, miraculous healings, profound transformations

“I have been working with Kelly Noonan Gores the director and producer of the HEAL documentary and podcast for several years now. She discovered me on Instagram after I posted a one-minute video of 6 children I had worked on, that’s lives drastically transformed physically and emotionally because of Restore For Life. Kelly has endorced my work to thousands of people who did’t think it was posssble to heal so quickly for a multitued of different issuers. You can watch her “Ex-Breast Plant podcast” on You Tube, referring to me as her secret weapon for extraordinary healing”. Susan Burdick

 I have had the opportunity to have Sue Burdick do Restore sessions with me on several occasions. I have had fabulous results with pain management, anxiety, and general wellness. I would recommend her work for almost anyone. Sue is gracious and very professional when dealing with health issues. I have always felt very comfortable working with Sue. I have also had the opportunity to take classes with Sue to learn some techniques to use for family members. Once again, I praise her professionalism, her knowledge base, and teaching technique. The knowledge of anatomy and gentle light touch therapy without disrobing is in my opinion, one of the most enjoyable and relaxing techniques I had ever tried. I would highly recommend the classes that she does for just about anyone who would like to learn to help other people. Being a registered nurse I appreciated the courses as an additional tool for helping my patient through difficult times of pain and anxiety.

My 6-year-old son had his first stroke at 3 years old. He was misdiagnosed with a rare disease called CNS vasculitis, and the doctors put him on chemotherapy for almost a year. We learned he never needed chemo, but the chemo damage had already been done. When he was properly diagnosed, we discovered my son needed double bypass brain surgery for a rare disease called Moyamoya. Between his rare disease, chemotherapy, and multiple strokes, we felt we needed some outside of the box therapy. And that is when Susan Burdick came into our lives. I was partly skeptical at first, but after about a month, I noticed my son changing for the better. He walked better (which had been compromised by his strokes), he spoke clearer, but mostly his constant head buzzing/aches started getting better. Most of the time he would be meltdown, cry and his whole day would be shot after one of these incidences. But something Susan did, helped subside these moments to where they became less frequent, and now is finally to a point where it is rare, he gets them. He is happier in spirit, and I truly believe Susan has some gift that changed his outlook and we all as a family have been able to breathe easier (which was not an easy feat). Thank you, Susan, for taking the time, care, and love to help my son. Our days are filled with a lot more laughter than before, (again, was no easy feat) and we believe that a lot of it had to do with you. Thank you.

I can’t get enough of Restore for Life! Every time Susan does her light touch therapy on my son with autism, I see big changes. I see more cognitive ability like stopping from riding his bicycle, getting off and standing next to it and waiting for me when he sees me stop and talk to a friend for a minute. I see more social interaction, like him coming downstairs from his room to find me and ask me to do an activity with him. His teachers see more focus, attention, and results at school. And I see more presence and more of him “showing” up. There is more of him when I look into his eyes. And there is more of him in his daily activities. We are building a stronger personal relationship together because more of him is “here” and wanting to spend time with me. Because of all these amazing changes, I can’t wait to learn this technique so I can do it for my son (and my whole family!) at home….anytime!

Susan Burdick and the Restore Technique were the answer to my prayer to help my 13-year-old son, and I am beyond grateful. He has autism, with minimal, unreliable language and scoliosis. Restore has made significant improvement in both conditions. Following the very first session, I observed a dramatic reduction in my son’s persevering behaviors. He did NOT mention birthdays at all when I spoke with him afterward, an obvious omission because that topic normally came up repetitively in every conversation. My son was also cheerful and calm. The first three months of wearing the back brace for scoliosis, his spine showed very little improvement and the doctor warned us we were probably looking at a situation where the brace alone was insufficient, and surgery would likely be need. I was worried and brought in Susan, so her work would complement his back brace for the next three months until the next exam. The doctor was absolutely stunned at the extraordinary improvement! He smiled and said we now could expect to avoid surgery. Susan is an earth angel! She has dedicated her life and work to healing people –especially kids with autism who have tough conditions. She never gives up! Susan is an extraordinary human being, with a heart of gold and magical hands!

It’s been a very difficult time for us for the last two years. My 8-year-old son was hit by a car and because of this he’s had many problems after the accident. One of the most difficult parts was having brain injury. He is always very tired, unable to think clearly and said his head hurts if there was too much activity around him. He wore dark tinted glasses because bright light bothered his eyes. He found it impossible to sit in a chair for any length of time and was unable to think clearly. This was very challenging for him and very frustrating. When I discovered Restore, we decided to give it a try to see if this would help him. I have done many things before and had some progress, but he was still struggling. After only a few sessions with Susan things drastically began to change. He is so much calmer and happier now and his ability to listen is awesome, along with paying attention! The physical therapist now says he is amazing to work with! Even the dentist said so too! He doesn’t have pain anymore and has a lot more energy to last all day. He is now can sit in a chair and participating in classroom activities. I have my boy back again and I’m so happy!

I have a three your old autistic son. In the short time he has been treated by Susan, he has made leaps and bounds. After just the first visit, we started noticing he was more present. Just a few weeks later he started making steady eye contact and excelling faster in his therapies. Family, friends, teachers, and therapists all commented on how quickly he was progressing. His motor skills have become stronger, and he has started talking. Susan is not only gifted, but truly passionate about what she does. 

J.C, MA. After 8 sessions Bryce was able to speak in sentences, walk without assistance, had full eye contact and living a healthy normal life. Many doctors could no longer see autism in him, at all.

In the short time that my son has been seeing Susan, we’ve already noticed many positive changes. My son is 12 and has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a progressive muscle disease that causes the muscles to break down quickly. To slow the progression of the disease and maintain his ability to walk for as long as possible, we need to continually stretch his muscles to alleviate painful cramping and tightness. Since we started to come to Susan, we’ve noticed that his muscles are softer and more able to be stretched and that his fingers and toes have become straighter and less curled and tight. We’ve also noticed that he just generally has more energy. The greatest accolade, however, is that my son says he feels that she is helping, he says he feels better! Susan is not only a great practitioner of the body’s energy; she is also incredibly positive and insightful and truly has a gift for healing. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her!

L.C, NH. After ten sessions, he surprised everyone, when he got out of his wheelchair and walked around the room for four hours, at a fundraising event that I was invited to for (DMD). He was now able to get on his exercise equipment, by himself.

I truly enjoy every session I’ve had with Susan. She is dynamic and smart and really understands the body. Having been paralyzed from the waist down since I was eleven Susan has been an integral part in helping me reconnect my body as I learned to walk again. I can have less nerve pain and more mobility and function.

Thank you, Susan, for all that you have done for me. I have been living with a serious health problem and you have given me the gift of a positive tomorrow. Restore has touched me both physically and mentally in a way l never thought possible. Your compassion and skill is truly healing on many levels. I am so grateful to you.

have long suffered from severe depression, anxiety, and migraines. Combined with a stressful, demanding work environment, I was struggling to cope. I had no desire to add any more medications to my daily regimen, but I needed to do something. I decided to give “Restore” a try. After just two sessions, I felt better than I had in years and I was even able to go to the movie theater, something that would have sent me spiraling into a panic attack only a few months earlier!

I was worn down by pain when I contacted Susan having been diagnosed with a severe shoulder problem. My surgeon told me to contact him when I couldn’t stand the pain anymore. Then I found Susan; her “Restore” session changed my life by removing all the intense pain and it helped the tears in my shoulder to heal faster. It provided me with increased mobility and a brighter outlook on life. Susan is a truly talented healer who has recharged my life. I will always be grateful.

I started Having Pain in my upper abdomen for about a week. I went to my Primary care doctor, and he said the pain was a result of my gall bladder acting up. I immediately went to Susan for a half hour and the next day I knew that what I had wrong with my gall bladder disappeared and I was no longer in pain.

Susan is a wonderful, warm practitioner who takes time to listen and a very talented. I went to see her after breaking my ankle in 3 places, and quickly I was able to go from crutches to walking without the boot, which took a day rather than a two-week process. I got cleared from the surgeon, my scars are healing much faster and after seeing her three times I went completely off pain medicine. On a side note, other old trauma in my body was also released during the sessions. I look forward to going back to her very soon, it’s incredibly relaxing and I feel fantastic.

My experience with Susan has been fantastic. She is very kind, listens well, and is very empathetic. She has enabled me to function without a compression sleeve after 4 years of dealing with post-mastectomy lymphedema. She has helped with the trauma of treatment and with my cognitive function that was impacted by chemotherapy.

I had limited movement in my left arm due to a mastectomy from Breast Cancer. I also suffered with lymphedema, pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and trouble sleeping. I received 8 sessions with Susan and all my Issues were happily resolved! I feel very fortunate to have found her and will always recommend her to my friends and family.

I first started seeing Susan about three years ago. I went to her for an overall feeling of well-being and to help with my MS symptoms. I was thrilled with the results and the way her RESTORE technique made me feel. It was amazing!!!! In September of 2016 my world changed with a breast cancer diagnosis. I went through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Susan was such a God send during my treatment. I could go to her with confidence knowing that I always felt better after and that nothing I was doing would interfere with my treatments. I was trying to balance my MS during treatments as well. Lymphedema, neuropathy, overall lymphatic drainage, emotional well-being. Susan helped me with all these things. Susan has an amazing gift and I feel so blessed to have her on my team. I am thriving and feeling well and happy!”

I am so happy I found Susan and Restore for life. I had a C-section a year ago and have been suffering with bladder and pelvic floor discomfort ever since. There was nothing that doctors could find structurally so I was left with waiting for it to go away, trying different medications and perhaps unnecessary treatments. Susan performed a remote session and I felt relief and comfort almost immediately. I look forward to having another session!

I have been suffering with Trigeminal Neuralgia. The nerves in my face making daily life painful. I thank God every day for His leading me to Susan Burdick and Restore for Life. After weeks of being unable to eat or sleep more than a few hours a day, she has brought me back to a life worth living and in a fairly short period of time. I admit, I was a little skeptical at first. But with each session, I found I got more and more periods of pain relief. Her deep concern and compassion for me and her soft touch kept me returning for treatments. I am now pain free. Thank you, Susan.

“Susan worked on my 7yr old daughter who is on the spectrum. My daughter was very shy and anxious. With the help of Susan Vada has come out of her shell. She is going to the bathroom now at school. She is a shining light at kids parties and getting herself dressed. She isn’t scared of bugs anymore and she has taken control of her life. She is enjoying more things with us and even killing bug with her own hands now (just fruit flies). Susan’s techniques work and I’m so grateful to have her in my back pocket in case anything arises! If you are hesitant to try Susan don’t be she is very good at what she does!”
