illuminate

I work with people from around the world through both individual sessions (over phone or Zoom) as well as in group retreats.
 
In one-on-one sessions, we start by getting grounded in the issue you want to explore and welcoming any thoughts and emotions that arise. I support you to identify the core beliefs governing your experience and then we investigate them. Once in touch with what's true for you around the situation, we explore how you can live by what you've discovered.

"The deepest work is usually the darkest...do not be afraid to investigate the worst." - Clarissa Pinkola Estés

"Doing The Work with Susan has changed my life and brought so much healing to my heart. I have found paths of love out of darkness which I couldn’t have imagined and am deeply grateful for. 

Susan’s expertise with this process is grounded in a deep understanding of the nature and habits of the mind and a profound understanding of how to meet it with inquiry. 

​I have engaged with many forms of therapy and the explorations with this process have been some of the most powerful and transformational inner work so far." ​

how often would we meet?

I offer sessions to people who would like to address one specific topic or for those who would like to experience The Work as an ongoing process, often meeting once or twice a week or month. Longer sessions (1.5-3 hours) are also possible. 

I'm available to help you get started as you learn how to do inquiry on your own or as ongoing support.

Working with a facilitator on a consistent basis can allow for the regularity + accountability that enables this practice of mindful self-discovery to deepen within.​

 Our work together has helped me with everything - painful rejections, family illness, worries over the state of the planet, and self judgements - making it easier for me to feel compassion and love for the world and myself."
