An award-winning medical doctor, Dr. Susan Biali Haas’ life passion is to equip people with the knowledge, skills, and tools that will help them to enjoy optimal mental health, avoid burnout, and increase their resilience. Formerly clinically depressed and burned out, Biali Haas turned her life around by extensively studying how to overcome these two debilitating conditions. Today, she inspires a broad range of clients — from military leaders and senior executives to physicians and other healthcare professionals — to take control of their health and start living more impactful, meaningful lives.

As a physician, Biali Haas boasts 20 years of primary care experience, working in urban medical clinics. She also worked as a mental health clinician, counseling patients with anxiety and depression during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A popular blogger for Psychology Today, Biali Haas’ articles have attracted more than ten million views. In addition, she was invited to be a member of Chatelaine magazine’s Health Advisory Board and was the “Embrace Life Expert” for Reader’s Digest Best Health magazine.

Client reviews

  • Thank you so much for presenting at our Supervisor Forum. We received so much positive feedback from the attendees!

  • The session was amazing! I had many people messaging me saying how much they enjoyed it and what things they are going to implement to make a real change. I really appreciate the energy and excitement that Susan brings to her presentations – the authenticity shines!

  • Thank you so much for an incredible visit with our leadership team. If it is possible for an event to go perfectly, that’s what we experienced yesterday. Dr. Susan was awesome, her vulnerability, expertise and practical tools are spot on. By far the highlight of a really good staff meeting. We so appreciate what she does!

  • Having Dr. Susan Biali Haas present virtually to our employee base was a great decision. Her kind and caring energy emanated from the screen, and she was able to keep a large audience engaged for an hour with very helpful content. While we would have loved the opportunity to have Susan in person, the virtual event meant that our entire employee base (spanning across several states and all time zones in the US) was able to participate and to feel supported during this challenging time.

  • Susan’s message was right on point and contained an amazing number of pearls for the relatively short time she had.  It was a pleasure working with her and I know it was useful for our membership.

  • Staff members that attended were deeply impacted and have shared how they have changed things in their lives due to your presentation. One manager commented, “Every social worker needs to hear Dr. Biali Haas.”

  • Susan got the day off to a great start. She was super relatable to the audience and her personal story was wonderful and heart-wrenching.

  • I know I speak for everyone when I say that you inspired our minds and hearts from the inside out! We all walked away thinking of what we could do to shake things up.

  • Our Staff felt that Dr. Biali Haas’ presentation was very motivating and that it gave them practical lessons to take away. Comments included ‘Absolutely Amazing’, ‘I loved listening to her’ and ‘We need more of this!”

  • A great, dynamic speaker – I was engaged and on the edge of my seat the entire time.

  • Dr. Susan Biali’s presentation on Wellness, Balance and Hope, at the University Women’s Club of Vancouver, was an unforgettable evening for everyone! So many people told me how much they enjoyed the evening and, often, that they had tears in their eyes near the end of her talk. Dr. Biali was a dream to work with.

  • We value Dr. Susan Biali’s contributions immensely at the Medical Post. Her refreshing enthusiasm for life shines through in her informative and entertaining writing, as well as in public appearances speaking on life and wellness issues. I’ll never forget the day one of her seminars not only packed the room she was speaking in but drew an overflow crowd listening just as intently outside the door! Her inspiration is both engaging and infectious.

  • Dr. Susan Biali was an incredibly engaging speaker for our staff. Her principles of wellness and balance were presented in such a personal manner, making her ideas inspiring yet tangible. She was always prompt with communication, and her presentation received such positive feedback from our staff members – many told us that her words deeply resonated with them. Dr. Biali was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we would love to have her speak to our staff again!

  • The audience was captivated as Susan shared from her life experiences and education, in such a way that everyone in the audience could identify with her, while self-reflecting on their own lives. Susan’s magic, her gift, is in her truthfulness. Susan is living her best life and that comes through in her presentation. That integrity IS inspirational and is what makes Susan such a dynamic and powerful speaker.

  • Not only did we at WOW select the absolutely perfect candidate for the Health & Wellness Award, we also received the added bonus of a world-class speaker who completed WOWed almost a thousand women at our 5th annual Woman Of Worth event in Vancouver, BC. She was hands-down the most powerful speaker of the day, inspiring the audience to rave reviews with her candor, humour and passion. Dr. Biali is a total class act and an extraordinary Woman Of Worth.
