For years, Susan Louie lived with chronic pain, emotional weight, and the invisible scars of a challenging childhood. Like many people searching for relief, she turned to the usual methods—therapy, medication, and common coping mechanisms—only to find herself cycling back to the same struggles. Everything changed the day she stumbled upon a video by well-regarded therapist Marisa Peer on YouTube. What began as a moment of curiosity would become a significant discovery.

“I was first introduced to RTT by accident,” Louie recalls. “After trying self-hypnosis, I not only experienced relief from years of back, knee, and foot pain from running but also noticed substantial improvement in managing my Hashimoto’s disease symptoms alongside traditional treatments.”

That impactful experience inspired her to get certified in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)—a hybrid therapeutic approach that blends neuroscience, cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy, and neuro-linguistic programming to help identify and address the root causes of emotional and physical challenges. RTT has become a valuable tool in her practice, helping clients work through various emotional difficulties and limiting beliefs.

Today, through her practice Inner Peace Life, Louie has become a trusted resource for clients worldwide who are seeking relief from anxiety, depression, addictions, and self-sabotaging patterns. Drawing from her extensive corporate leadership background, she brings both practical experience and deep empathy to every session.

“My mission is to help people find freedom—not to be controlled by the issue that brought them to me,” she says. “Whether the change happens quickly or gradually, what matters is creating meaningful, lasting transformation.”

From Pain to Purpose

Louie’s story is a testament to the potential for healing when one addresses the deep, underlying causes of personal challenges. Growing up with an incarcerated mother and an absentee father, she carried deep fears and limiting beliefs about money, love, and self-worth. RTT provided the tools she needed to release those emotional burdens and replace them with empowerment and clarity.

“RTT helped me uncover the subconscious patterns that kept me stuck,” she explains. “Once I released those old beliefs, everything shifted. I finally felt strong, confident, and free.”

This personal growth became the foundation of her work. She understands firsthand that deep healing doesn’t always require years—it requires the right approach and a willingness to address the root causes.

How RTT Works

Each RTT session lasts about two hours, during which Louie guides clients into a relaxed, hypnotic state—a natural level of focus we enter daily while daydreaming or watching a movie. In this state, the subconscious mind becomes more open, allowing access to core memories and beliefs that shape behavior.

Louie then helps clients reframe those experiences, releasing the emotional charge and installing new, empowering beliefs. Afterward, each client receives a personalized audio recording designed to reinforce these positive changes. Listening daily for 21 days helps reprogram the mind, making the transformation more lasting.

“Behind the scenes, I prepare carefully for each session,” she says. “I study the client’s goals and set a strong intention for their healing. My focus is always on helping them feel supported, safe, and ready for change.”

Results That Speak for Themselves

Many of Louie’s clients report significant progress after just one or two sessions—whether they are seeking relief from chronic anxiety, phobias, or even physical pain linked to emotional stress. While some issues may require multiple sessions, the results are consistently meaningful.

She explains that transformation can occur in three ways: quickly, gradually, or retrospectively. “Sometimes people walk out of a session and feel different,” she says. “For others, it builds gradually, or they notice it weeks later. Everyone’s journey is unique.”

Addressing Misconceptions About Hypnosis

Many people hesitate to try hypnotherapy due to misconceptions, and Louie understands that skepticism.

“One of the biggest myths is that hypnosis means losing control,” she says. “In truth, you’re fully aware and in control the entire time. It’s simply a deeply relaxed state where your mind becomes more receptive to change.”

To ease those concerns, Louie offers a mini transformation session, allowing potential clients to experience RTT firsthand before committing to a full session.

A Thought Leader in Transformation

Beyond her private practice, Louie is also a speaker and thought leader on mental wellness and peak performance. Her compassionate, grounded approach resonates deeply with those seeking not just relief—but renewal.

“I’ve seen people go from feeling broken to realizing they were never broken at all,” she says. “They just needed to reconnect with their inner power.”

Through Inner Peace Life, Susan Louie continues to redefine what healing can look like—effective and deeply impactful. Her work is a reminder that freedom, peace, and purpose aren’t distant dreams—they’re waiting within us, ready to be uncovered.
