Founder Susan Bremer O'Neill has been helping women embrace their bodies and build confidence and esteem through workshops, classes, and individual coaching for more than ten years. First introduced in the San Francisco Bay Area, her programs have helped women world-wide successfully release inhibitions, heal shame, increase intimacy and strengthen personal relationships.

Susan has lived and tested the Self Appeal philosophy before she ever conceived of bringing it to the world. Her memoir, From Sex Appeal to Self Appeal, leads the reader through her inelegant yet absolutely necessary journey away from self denial and neglect to one of self acceptance, approval, and love. Because of her insightful relationship with herself and the scientific scrutiny she learned to exercise in her twelve-year career as a laser technician, her life has blossomed away from being one of lonely isolation to one that is spirit- and love-filled in a successful marriage.

Her woman empowering, DVD, The Art of Sensual Dance Series: Striptease for Real Women, is a woman-focussed, tasteful program that introduces her Self Appeal® concepts while helping every woman to feel beautiful and sexy, no matter what her age or size.  

Susan currenlty lives in Modesto, California with her husband and her family of rescue animals, three cats and a dog.
