I’M HERE TO SUPPORT YOU AND TEACH YOU THE SKILLS AND TOOLS I’VE USED TO HEAL AND TRANSFORM MY LIFE AFTER EXPERIENCING A SPIRITUAL EMERGENCY AND RECEIVING A MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS
You’re here for a reason, and I see you.
The struggle is real—constant intrusive thoughts, regretful reactions, and existential dread. It can feel like you’re trapped in endless cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and directionlessness. You might feel “too sensitive” or “too emotional,” as though you’re flawed. But sensitivity isn’t a weakness—it’s a superpower waiting to be harnessed.
Anxiety and depression are tough, and trauma—whether from childhood, systemic racism, poverty, or the climate crisis—can shape how we see the world. It’s not your fault! Trauma changes us without consent, and though medication can mask the symptoms, we need to address the root causes.
I know what it’s like to feel broken, misunderstood, and confined by a mental health diagnosis. But you’re not broken. Your sensitivity is a strength, and you have limitless potential. You deserve to feel understood, valued, and aligned with your gifts and desires.
You don’t have to suffer in silence. I’ve been where you are, and I know healing happens with the right care, compassion, and support. I’m here to guide you to reclaim control, heal old stories, and navigate life’s challenges in a new way—so you can thrive as your true Self.
For over 11 years, I have had the opportunity to teach and support many beautiful souls individually and through community classes, workshops, retreats and events. I've had the privilege of walking alongside individuals during profound life transitions, through times of trauma, grief, mental health struggles, substance misuse, pregnancy, parenting, marital struggles and cancer recovery. Some of the most rewarding opportunities came from teaching trauma-informed yoga to those recovering from PTSD and addictions at Bellwoods Health Services, teaching trauma-informed yoga to female identifying folx at Fred Victor’s Transitional Housing, and holding space for Sacred Medicine Ceremonies and Soul Journeys facilitated by Eddy Tony.
I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist. I am someone who in 2010 was hospitalized after a spiritual emergency, experiencing altered states “psychosis” and diagnosed with “bipolar-1 disorder.”
This photo was taken 1 month prior to my first experience with altered states. Photo by my dear friend, talented photographer and roommate at the time, Michael White.
I worked hard to understand my unique sensitivities and move beyond the confines of the mental health label I was given. What I experienced wasn’t what “bipolar” looks like in the media or how others described it—it was a spiritual emergency, the beginning of my Soul’s expansion, often called “waking up.”
After hospitalization and a diagnosis, I had little support. The future my psychiatrist painted was uninspiring, and I refused to accept it. Through years of research, trial and error, and personal practice, I connected the dots, made changes, and reclaimed my health and wellbeing. I fell in love with the healing arts, dedicating 17 years to study and training, which have been central to my recovery and soul’s journey.
Today, I live a balanced, vibrant life, and my clients’ transformations are proof that these practices work to support individual healing and collective wellness.
It can be scary not knowing where to go, or the kind of mental health or spiritual support you need after experiencing anything that feels out of the “norm.”
YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF:
You feel locked in certain ways of behaving that you know are not beneficial for you.
You don’t want to solely rely on high doses of medication to manage your wellbeing.
You feel frustrated with doctors, family members, and friends who continue to misunderstand you and can’t see what you’re going through.
You want to get a grip on your triggers and live well with a routine that you enjoy and can stick with.
You want stronger and more meaningful relationships in your life.
You’re exhausted in unfulfilling situations and see no alternatives.
We can chat about where you are at and what it will look like to work together.
I know how discouraging doctors can be when you reach out for mental health support and all you get is a prescription for a drug that has a long list of side effects some of which are the exact symptoms you wanted help with in the first place. You go back for a follow up (if they even offer you one) and they only seem to care about how the medication is affecting you but not really interested in how YOU are doing. I feel for you because I’ve been there. Nothing makes you feel worse than you already do, than when you reach out for help and get rushed out the door with just a prescription.
I don’t have a magic pill for you. I don’t believe in such a thing.
What I have is lived-experience, extensive knowledge and many years of professional training that can support you in finding and healing yourself, just like I did. The healing arts modalities that I implement into my services aid you in healing yourself on all levels; they do more than just treat the symptoms.
“Suse’s expertise helped me process very difficult experiences with the mental healthcare system in Ontario.
She advanced my healing journey more than the psychologists and psychiatrists that I have had to work with.
She really knows how to heal post traumatic stress disorder with her kindness, love, and support. She made me feel safe enough to begin to open up and grow.
I have the utmost respect for her healing work. I highly recommend her No More Mind Games program.”
— ANGELA R.
The way I provide support is completely unique and different from what you may have experienced with your psychiatrist or therapist. We will work on all levels (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) to heal all levels. I use a somatic approach to healing with a focus on soul level healing.
Somatic means, of or relating to the body.
In other words, we use proven techniques to engage the relationship between soul, heart, mind and body. This approach to healing means that we don’t need to exclusively talk in order to heal. We can do it by engaging the body-mind in very specific ways.
We can heal:
on a soul and spiritual level by clearing traumas and karmas that are imprinted in the body and nervous system
on an emotional level by actively listening to the messages of the energetic heart
on a physical level by moving the body and breath specifically and intentionally
This is bottom-up healing, working with and through the body, instead of top-down working with the mind (such as talk therapy).
This is the best alternative to talk therapy.
YOU CAN GET BETTER AND FEEL BETTER. THE QUALITY OF LIFE YOU WANT IS POSSIBLE. YOU ARE NOT A LOST CAUSE!!! THIS WORLD NEEDS YOU AND YOUR GIFTS.
“I had a very good experience working with Suse over the course of this 12-week program.
I was going through some very difficult emotional and physical challenges, and Suse was simply amazing - extremely kind, supportive, and empathetic during all of our sessions.
I always felt like she had my back, and she never made me feel uncomfortable or judged when I became vulnerable/emotional. I always felt like I was in a safe space with her.
In addition, Suse was so generous in offering her invaluable insights and practical advice, along with a wide variety of healing modalities, all of which helped me better navigate whatever challenges I was facing during a particular week.
I learned so much from her, and I feel extremely blessed to have had her as my mentor.
If you are facing an emotional or physical challenge, I highly recommend this course and/or working with Suse in some capacity, as you will surely receive the support and encouragement you need to propel you forward! Thank you, Suse!”

This is exactly why I created…

“No more mind games - was a deeply transformative program.
Suse’s guidance and consistency was the framework for the magic to unfold. Each week our sessions were on time and full of potent reflections, exercises and explanations of homework for the next session. The Tao blessings Suse incorporates are really potent and well received.
I have found that the tools provided and exercises we did were easily integrated into my daily life. The shifts in my thoughts, emotions and behaviours are permanent and liberating.
I highly encourage anyone seeking a compassionate, loving and wise guide to contact Suse today, and take the worthwhile step forward for yourself and those around you. Thank you Suse”

This program is for you if:
You’ve experienced a mental health crisis or spiritual emergancy
You’ve received a diagnosis
You’ve experienced something life-altering such as: a loss, divorce, career change, hit rock bottom, or other
This program is NOT for you if:
You want medical advice or a diagnosis
You are currently in crisis and/or needing emergency care*
*The holistic mental health support and healing arts services I provide are for long term growth and soul expansion, not acute crisis help.
“I began No More Mind Games at a stage of my life where I was emotionally and physically unhealthy.
It was a slow build up of life experiences culminating into an early sixties woman I was having trouble recognizing. To put it succinctly, I had lost the plot of my own life.
Suses 12 week program has been a wow. From my very first session with Suse I knew I was in safe hands. The 12 week program she has built herself has a very unique flow. Each week seems to build upon the last so organically, with tough weeks followed by a week of lightness and freshness.
With Suses wealth of knowledge and wellness tools she somehow helped a somewhat muddled and spiritually broken woman onto a great ride to recovery.
Key take aways for me are;
+ Grief counselling
+ Trauma counselling
+ Support for addiction…I quit smoking!
+ Coping with anxiety and depression
+ Healing old relationship wounds
+ I learned so many new coping skills I use now in everyday life.
I will be continuing sessions with Suse. My door has just been opened and I know the possibilities are endless now for a healthier life. It seems every few days I am having simple breakthroughs in thought that have come from the layering of the program.
I tell everyone Suse is the real deal!”

Often mental health disturbances and “strange” conditions arise when something has gone on unresolved for sometime. This can be on a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual level or a combination of levels. Our current mental healthcare system does not fully support our wellbeing on all levels. Often when you go to a healthcare professional they will prescribe you medication to help treat the symptoms you describe or that you are presenting at that moment. They do not address the underlying reason for why these symptoms are manifesting.
The work that we will do together is completely DIFFERENT.
Through a holistic, intuitive and personalized approach this program will offer you support that considers all facets of your being. You will get so much more than just a “band-aid solution”. Together we will process and clear trauma/karma, regulate the nervous system and develop healthier habits and daily action to support your dreams, ambitions and soul’s calling.
THIS program is specifically designed to give you the tools you need to transform and heal yourself.
You are your own best healer. I’m here to guide and teach you how to access your own healing capabilities and to support you along the way.
HERE’S HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
We’ll meet weekly (12 weeks total) 1:1 online (zoom) or in-person (Baltimore, Ontario) for 2hrs.
Our first session will be an introduction where I get to learn more about you, your health and life history, ‘symptoms’ etc. to better understand your needs.
Each week you will be given soulwork (aka homework for the soul) to be completed during the time between our sessions.
During each session we will review the theme, your personal week and your soulwork. Then, inspired by that, we will proceed with an intuitively guided practical session.
Practical sessions may include:
Movement (trauma-informed yoga, restorative yoga, hatha yoga, functional movement, somatic movement, trauma release exercises, qi gong, dance)
Tao healing hands (soul level energy healing, soul song, soul language)
Sound healing (mantra, chanting, singing, sound baths, binaural beats, curated music)
Meditation (visualization journeys, loving-kindness, mindfulness, yoga nidra)
Breathwork (somatic breathwork journeys, various pranayama techniques)
Art making (various mediums)
Forest bathing (in-person only)
By the end of the program you will have a fully designed roadmap that you’ll use to nurture your healing journey afterwards; with the option to continue to work together and go even deeper into the topics and practices explored.
“Every week gave me something new to learn.
I feel I have a variety of tools and strategies to use to continue my journey of personal growth. Suse taught me with her intuition and adapted the teachings to what she felt I needed in the moment.
Her voice was so calming and powerful as she lead me through the breathwork, visualizations, healing words and movements. Thank you Suse, for the wonderful treasures throughout this course that you gave with your full heart. I am eternally grateful”

“Suse’s “No more mind games” 3-month program is almost indescribable until you go through it yourself,
but since I’m writing a testimonial I’m going to describe what it meant to me.
The program was nourishing for the soul both emotionally and spiritually, as Suse helps you ground in your own beliefs and truths while letting go of the outside noise. In addition, Suse also gives you tangible tools to assist in helping with the external noise and/or negativity when it surfaces.
The experience will probably mean different things to different people as there are so many good nuggets of soul work and emotional exploration, but for me the overall experience left me with a firm grasp & trust in myself, my abilities and that I deserve to show up as am.”
— ANGELA MAGILL
