"My pain has been mitigated hugely as a result of working one-on-one with Susan. Her unique combination of mindfulness teacher, medical practitioner and pain sufferer has brought her to the understanding that the tools that work for one kind of pain may not work for another. Her approach is tailored, creative and compassionate. Simply put, this is the kind of experience that can change one’s life. I am lucky I somehow found Susan in the cluttered and confusing marketplace of mindfulness. What I learned from her years ago has stuck, and I am better (happier!) for it.”

“This course gave me tools to change my perception and reaction to stressors. I feel more capable of tackling the day at home and at work. There is less yelling in my house. I’ve been getting to work on time and leaving on time. I sleep better. I walk more. I am kinder to myself and stop negative self talk sooner. I am grateful for my body and health. I’ve accepted uncertainty. I looked forward to the sessions because I always walked out of the class feeling better than when I walked in. “

"I have to tell you how much this class is already impacting my life.  As you know, I have had much trauma happen over the last 2 years in addition to the crazy stress of being a nurse during Covid. This class is giving me hope.  I am eagerly using my new practices.  It is fitting right into my life as something I have been missing. SO POWERFUL.  Thank you so much.”

"MBSR is a huge blessing for me! My life imploded during the last year and a half and I’ve noticed a huge difference in how I feel, my outlook on life and a return to joy since I started working with you."
