Meet Susie
This inspiring woman's life story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Marked by both profound joy and deep pain, each defining moment has contributed to the remarkable woman she is today. Her years as an athlete instilled a profound respect for the body's strength and adaptability. However, it was her own serious illness that ignited a fierce passion for healing, a drive further fueled by the complexities of navigating a relationship with a narcissistic mother, creating a lifelong quest for understanding and constant self-improvement.
The most significant obstacle she faced was undoubtedly the lack of love and appreciation during her formative years. The resulting trauma left deep wounds, hindering her ability to fully embrace openness, warmth, and genuine connection, casting a shadow on her capacity for self-love.
Yet, these very scars became the unexpected seeds of growth. She learned the vital importance of independence, which became her shield, a powerful declaration that no one would ever again hold the power to inflict such pain. One of her deepest regrets, however, was not severing ties with her mother sooner, a relationship that continued to cause harm for far too long.
Despite these formidable challenges, she courageously built a life she can be truly proud of. She pursued her education, earning her high school diploma and delving into the studies of history and political science. Ultimately, she followed her true calling, dedicating herself to training as a state-certified freelance gymnastics teacher. Her expertise and passion led her to become a sought-after speaker for BTV, BGKV, and BVS, sharing her knowledge of movement. She further specialized as a holistic personal trainer and meridian therapist, focusing on the intricate connection between psycho-emotional imbalances and physical well-being. Finally, she took a leap of faith and opened her own studio, a sanctuary dedicated to healing and transformation.
Her studio is far more than just a business; it is a profound extension of her personal journey. It is a space where she seamlessly integrates her athletic background, her deep understanding of trauma, and her expertise in meridian therapy to guide others toward balance and inner healing. The focus is on training the body from the inside out, reaching the deepest fibers where trauma often resides. It's about empowering individuals to reconnect with their physical selves, understand their emotional landscapes, and ultimately, rediscover the transformative power of self-love.
Her personal adventures have mirrored this professional dedication. She has relentlessly pursued a deeper understanding of her own body and, by extension, the bodies of those she works with. Through movement, mindfulness, and targeted therapies, she expertly guides people in releasing stored tension and emotional blockages. It is a deeply personal and transformative process, both for those she guides and for herself. And yes, amidst this profound work, she has also experienced love in its various forms, including a significant 13-year relationship, recognizing love as another powerful teacher.
Everything she has experienced has solidified her core belief: connectedness. She understands that we are all interconnected – to each other, to the earth, and to something far greater than ourselves. Her studio stands as a testament to this profound belief, a nurturing space where individuals can come to reconnect with their inner selves and, in doing so, forge deeper connections with the world around them. It is about fostering healing on an individual level, creating ripples of positive change that extend far beyond the walls of her studio.
