They are graduates of our curriculum and are passionate about men and women having the benefit of the information we provide.

Susan Jensen
Leads The Queen's Code
& The Queen's Code for Relationships
Susan, although born in Ohio, considers herself a native Californian where she's lived since she was 3 months old. She has lived up and down the coast of California, Honolulu, Boston, and Hong Kong. Susan currently resides in Northern California with her best friend, life partner, and husband Mort and their three children, Ella, Amelie, and Finn. Susan loves being a “stay-at-home” mom and treasures all the silliness children provide.
As the youngest of five children, Susan grew up being the peacemaker. She's always had a passion for helping people more peaceful and loving lives. She received a degree in Psychology from San Francisco State and went on to obtain a Masters in Industrial Organizational Psychology from San Jose State University. She enjoyed working in Human Resources where she found her true passion of healing relationships, or “peacemaking.”
When she took The Queen’s Code Workshop (formerly Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women®) in 2003, she knew she wanted to work for PAX someday. In 2006 while living in Hong Kong, Susan joined the very first PAX Mastery and Leadership program. With the opportunity to teach people from over 10 different countries, she realized the PAX information transcends cultural boundaries. With this, she was even more excited about the possibilities that this body of work provides. Leading for PAX gives her the opportunity to create peace between men and women, and allow for more love in their lives.
Participants in Susan's workshops are comforted by her humility and love her authenticity, compassion, and vibrancy for life.
Amy Ramson
Born and raised in New York, Amy has been involved with personal growth and development programs since 1979 and has been a personal relationships coach since 2006. A former CPA and financial analyst, Amy left the financial world to be a stay-at-home mother and raise her children.
Amy began her leadership training with PAX in 2006. She is an integral part of the Tri-State PAX Community. She is known for her passion, fun, articulate and dramatic teaching style - and her enormous heart.
“Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women set me free. I saw immediately where I had been ineffective in my relationships with men, especially my ex-husband, to whom I was married for 20 years. I forgave myself for the mistakes in communication and behavior I made in the past. Since then, I have put this new information into practice for miraculous results with all men, including my two sons.”
Amy lives in Florida.
