For over a decade, I’ve supported thousands of beautiful souls during profound life transitions grief, spiritual awakening, relationship challenges, parenting, mental health struggles, cancer recovery and more.

I’ve developed a trauma-informed, spiritually grounded, body-based approach that creates lasting results for my clients.

My own lived experience of mental health prepared me for this.

Although I have plenty of education and training, what informs this work the most, was the time I felt I was losing EVERYTHING  (including my mind). I wasn’t sure I was going to make it.

During my undergrad (2010) I experienced a Spiritual Emergency where my whole life (past, present and future) became fragmented into a million pieces and played out in front of me in a very hard to describe way.

It was as though I was dreaming while being fully awake.

Seeking support, I was hospitalized (and traumatized), given a mental health diagnosis and told to take medication for the rest of my life. That was it. Confused, terrified and given no real answers besides a label and meds, I complied with the psychiatrists orders.

The fragmented, altered state experience ended, but I still had no understanding of WHY that happened in the first place, what caused that affect within me and what my psyche and Spirit was trying to show me.

6 months after that, out of this world, experience I enrolled in Yoga school.

As I began to swim in the vast ocean of yoga studies. My understanding of Self widened. I developed a clear understanding of why that experience happened and I began healing. With my success my psychiatrist lowered my medication and eventually I was able to come off of them completely.

Eager, and amazed by the transformations and healing results from applying yogic principles to my daily life, I continued to explore other wisdom traditions and healing modalities.

In 2016, I supported a group of first responders and veterans recovering from PTSD in a 3 month trauma-informed container and saw incredible results.

Over the course of 3 months, I witnessed:

• Shoulders that were permanently braced begin to relax.

• Laughter return.

• Hyper-vigilance soften into presence.

• Sleep improve.

• Tears flowing without shame.

• Emotional numbness begin to thaw.

• Trust in Self and in others.

BUT THE BIGGEST SHIFT?

They all experienced unconditional love from within, something they had not felt since early childhood.

From 2011-2021 I devoted 20hrs a week to teaching and uplifting thousands of students in Toronto supporting a variety of groups and demographics.

Then we had The GREAT PIVOT of 2020. The extra time during the pandemic gave me space to connect more with my needs, desires and creativity. I continued to train/study, I taught multiple classes a week on zoom, created an online retreat and began exploring ways I could support people to create deeper transformations. 

Spring of 2022, I began wondering, “what’s next for me?”

Spirit spoke: “Show people how you healed yourself.” 

That’s when my mentorship program was born.

It’s been an honour to witness the life-affirming shifts in my clients.

I’ve mentored 40+ clients (online & in-person) over the past 4 years, to create profound transformations,  personalizing each session to fit their unique needs.

Here’s what they have to say:

“Every few days I am having simple breakthroughs in thought that have come from the layering of the program.” - Cindy Lorusso

“The shifts in my thoughts, emotions and behaviours are permanent and liberating.” - Stephanie Attard

“I got more out of 12 weeks working with Suse than I did in 20 years of therapy” - Angela R

“It helped me break through my wall. The twelve weeks I spent working with Suse were an investment in myself that I will forever be grateful for and proud of.” - Mel Chatten

THE TRUTH IS NO ONE GOES THROUGH LIFE UNSCATHED. But, with the right care and support, radical self-love will become your new reality.

When someone walks alongside you through a major life transition, healing, transformation, and what is possible for you in this lifetime actualizes.

If your curiosity is stirring…

to explore what is possible.

I truly believe that everything in my life was leading me here to serve and support you through your transformation for you to be living the life you love.
