Susie began dancing 'recreationally' in 1993 with the Joel Hall Dance Center in Chicago. After two seasons of participating in workshop performances, she pursued dance full time on scholarship. In 1994, Susie moved to New York City. She continued to train as a dancer while pursuing a post-baccalaureate Certificate in Health & Fitness Instruction from the New York University School of Continuing & Professional Studies. In January of 1995, she gained her first professional dance job with the New Dance Collective, a company fusing ballet, jazz, and modern techniques. After two seasons with the New Dance Collective, she performed a summer with the New York Renaissance Faire, then migrated to musical theatre and performed with Regional Productions of “Crazy For You”, “la Cage Au Folles”, and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas”.
In 1999, Susie became Certified 'Yoga Siromani' after completing the immersive month long Yoga Teacher Training in Val Morin, Quebec with the International Sivananda Organization.

An award winning photographer & Artist of Life, Susie has always had a difficult time leaving home without her camera (now iphone), and leaves no day experienced without capturing a stunning moment in nature. She observes Life through the lens of creativity & is insatiably drawn to the textures, light & colors of the small details of life. She clearly recognizes that all of life's Divine layers are filled with and an expression of ART ...the art of Creativity, the art of Nature, the art of Movement, the art of Breath, the art of LIFE.
Susie is raising three adored young men, Ian (24 years), Kai (21 years) and Oli (14 years) along with her beloved husband Tony. She has a tremendous amount of gratitude for ALL of their experiences, ALL that have led to the birth of this healing arts space.

She aspires to offer a refuge of safety to others where they can experience shedding the burden of their defenses and access deep healing.
