Testimonials

" This workshop was awesome: learning new concepts, qigong, singing and chanting. The setting, the sharing, Susan's expertise, guidance and warmth - Fabulous!!! Many thanks for this magical time in this wondrous place."

Miriam Dunn, LMFT

"I am thrilled to be attending Susan's Compassionate Heart workshop for practitioners in September on Star island. The past workshops with Susan that I have attended provided an opportunity to reflect, observe, relax, laugh and so much more! Susan's easy going nature and ability to shift as needed is remarkable. I always come home with ideas for myself and my clients to use every day. The bonus: doing all this on an island six miles of the New Hampshire coast. The serene beauty is unmatched."

Carol James, LICSW

"Susan has a magical ability to bring a group of strangers together as a community within the first few minutes of the gathering period. She was clear, open, fun and able to lead the group with knowledge of techniques and gentle loving humor.”

Marry Schwoerer, Spiritual Direction, Energy Practitioner

"Susan- you are a wonderful instructor with an amazing wealth of knowledge + practice. While it was a leap for me to invest in this multiple day adventure away, the course was very helpful to me. It introduced me to more skills that I can fold into my practice - more energizing variety. Also the booklet is a keeper!
Thank you Susan. Until next time! Namaste
