Welcome to My World of Calm and Presence…

I’m Susan

I’m a Somatic Intuitive Healer.

Through presence and gentle touch, with a few words thrown in, I help people feel better in their bodies so they feel better in their lives.

I’ve spent my life living in a world that did not support my own natural rhythms. The world of busy, hectic, go go go, get more done, never rest… I played that role for many years.  It was exhausting. That shouldn’t be how the majority of our time should spent on this beautiful planet of ours.

I yearned to live a life that felt slower, more present, that wasn’t about speed and getting things done. My nervous system simply wasn’t built for this world.


Why Trauma Looks Different in Every Body

We all move through experiences that leave an imprint.

Sometimes they're the moments we immediately recognize as traumatic. More often, they're the experiences that quietly accumulate over time—living with chronic stress, navigating loss or grief, growing up without feeling fully seen, difficult relationships, illness, or simply spending years adapting to life's demands.

Our nervous system does exactly what it's designed to do: it protects us.

Those protective patterns are intelligent. They help us survive. But long after the experience has passed, they can continue to shape how we feel, how we relate to ourselves, and how we move through the world.

No two people carry these imprints in the same way.

The experiences may be universal, but your story, your nervous system, and your body's response are uniquely your own.

That is why healing isn't about following a formula or fixing what's "wrong." It's about listening to what your body has been holding, honoring the wisdom behind those protective patterns, and creating the conditions where your system naturally begins to release what it no longer needs.

This is the heart of my work.

A BIT ABOUT MY LIFE SO FAR:

Post college I was a fitness director on a cruise ship.

Best. Job. Ever.

Physical therapy called to me and I spent a decade in one of the coldest, darkest places in the winter… Fairbanks, Alaska.

I love changing up my life so I got my degree in counseling and worked with people addicted to opiates at a methadone clinic. Amazing humans that just didn’t feel good in their lives!

My intuition brought me to Nature-based-life coaching where I helped people reconnect to their deepest longings through nature.

Every step bringing me closer to what felt like the true me.

And then I had my first biodynamic craniosacral therapy session…

It blew my mind… and body. I walked out after 90 minutes in the most blissful/peaced out state. I felt like every muscle in my body had been massaged to perfection and yet all she did was gentle holds at my feet, head and hips.

I didn’t know my body could feel that safe with someone I had just met. I even fell asleep on her table. I left feeling like something had shifted inside of me. I felt calm, more grounded. I was mystified by the work and had to know more.

My inquiry led me to becoming a Somatic Intuitive Healer. I’ve always been fascinated by the energy, the intelligence, the source of everything that supports all of life. I know we all have underlying health in our systems.

My decades of professional experience with the body, mind and spirit, and my love for slowing things down to keep my own nervous system happy makes me uniquely qualified to help people bring more calm and balance to their lives.

Yes, some people thrive in the hustle environment, but I’m guessing if you’ve read this far, you’re not one of them. You don’t need to be. And if that means you want to live life feeling less overwhelmed and frazzled, you can.

 I’d Love to work with You!
