Practices that help individuals bring their inner story into clarity and alignment
What is Healing?
Healing is often described as something to achieve—
fixing a wound,
integrating experiences,
overcoming fear,
taking the right steps.
Those things matter. They are part of the journey.
But after conducting hundreds of spiritual channeling and intuitive sessions, I know with clarity that true healing is not simply a wound to be fixed.
It is the ability to reconnect with the deeper part of ourselves — the part that remembers what nourishes our soul — and to remain grounded in that connection while interacting within a wounded world.
When soul and strategy work together, something steadier begins to emerge.
Soul provides the moments that nourish and sustain us.
Strategy helps us move through life with clarity and intention.
Together they create the steadfastness needed to live, decide, and act within a complex and imperfect world.
My work helps people reconnect with that deeper inner guidance — so the clarity they seek can begin to emerge from within them.
This is where my healing work takes place.
Why Do We Need to Heal?
Empower
Growth
Healing for Clarity
In my work, healing and analysis are not separate activities.
They are two parts of the same process called integration—we use it every day.
We gather information from our lives through:
-
observations
-
experiences
-
memories
-
conversations
-
facts and knowledge
We organize them, and then through analysis the patterns and connections reveal themselves.
Synthesis has occurred—producing clear understanding and true meaning, which in turn organically heals the situation
Healing for Alignment
Healing is the practice of aligning soul, experience, and knowledge—so that the heart, story, strategy, and body can move in the same direction.
Alignment occurs when the different centers through which we experience life begin to work together rather than competing for control.
Each carries a different form of intelligence:
Soul — Heart — Meaning
The heart senses connection, value, and what truly matters.
Story — Throat — Expression
The throat gives language to experience and allows our story to be spoken clearly and truthfully.
Strategy — Gut — Direction
The gut evaluates choices, direction, and the next practical step forward.
Foundation — Body — Ground
The body provides stability, safety, and the grounding needed for action.
When these centers begin to align, something subtle but powerful happens.
Inner signals stop competing.
Clarity settles into the body.
Movement becomes natural rather than forced.
Decisions begin to feel trustworthy again
Healing for Energy
When clarity emerges and the different parts of ourselves come into alignment, something else begins to return—energy.
We often think of energy as something physical or mental.
If we sleep well, eat healthy, exercise, and manage our time and commitments carefully, we assume we should have enough energy to move through the day.
And those things matter. They help us maintain the energy we have and prevent unnecessary depletion.
But the goal of healing is not only to protect or conserve our energy.
It is to expand it—to give it more oxygen.
There is another source of energy that is often overlooked: the energy that comes from our soul being nourished.
When we know what feeds itl—quiet moments, beauty, inspirational readings, the Divine, meaningful conversation, creative expression, time in nature, reflection—we begin to draw from a deeper well of life energy.
These moments may appear small, but they restore something essential inside us.
Healing, then, is not only about fixing what is broken or managing our resources carefully.
It is also about discovering what truly nourishes us and allowing those moments to become part of your daily rhythm
.
Because when the soul is nourished, energy naturally expands.
Working Together
The work I offer creates structured space for reflection, life transitions, and alignment. While each conversation or gathering is unique, the orientation remains the same: careful attention to experience, thoughtful inquiry, and allowing insight to emerge.
Individual sessions provide a focused space to explore life transitions, questions, and recurring patterns. Through reflective inquiry and careful listening, insight and alignment begin to emerge.
Reflective Writings, Readings and Videos
Reflective soul + strategy narratives, prescriptive readings
The Writing Spirit Reflections
Retreats & Small Group Gatherings
Retreat settings offer time away from daily routines to reflect more deeply. Conversation, guided inquiry, and shared reflection help illuminate patterns and open new possibilities.
Workshops & Trainings
Workshops introduce practices of reflective inquiry, narrative awareness, and alignment into professional, creative, or community settings.
Who This Work Serves
This work supports individuals who experience the world deeply and notice emotional and environment signals and their relationship that others may overlook.
People who are familiar with personal development and spiritual tools and have spent years using them. Writers, Artists, Musicians, Actors, Healers, therapists, counsellors, empaths, spiritual and emotional coaches.
However, as much work they have done and as many tools as they have in their arsensal, there are times when they reach a life transition and discover there are unresolved issues which are blocking them from moving forward.
These transitions may include:
-
retirement
-
leadership shifts or professional decisions
-
relationship crossroads
-
creative or intellectual expansion
-
a desire to understand long-standing personal patterns
It is at these threshold moments, they come to me, so we together, take the time to unearth what needs to be completed. Create the space for clarity to present and then with certainty proceed with the next step right step to move forward.
Sensitivity Tools
The work I offer draws on a range of tools designed to support careful reflection, deeper awareness, and the integration of experience.
These tools help bring attention to what is already present—allowing patterns, emotions, and insights to surface in a natural and meaningful way.
Depending on the individual or group, the process may include:
• Reflective inquiry – thoughtful questions that illuminate patterns and underlying meaning
• Narrative exploration – examining the stories we carry and how they shape our choices
• Somatic awareness – listening to the body’s signals and the information they hold
• Intuitive insight practices – working with subtle awareness and perception
• Creative reflection tools – journaling, imagery, and symbolic prompts such as tarot or oracle cards
• Guided dialogue – structured conversations that help bring clarity to complex experiences
These tools are not used to diagnose or predict outcomes. Instead, they help reveal the connections between experience, emotion, and understanding—allowing clarity and alignment to emerge.
A Free Sensitivity Tool
Imagine you are in a high-voltage environment.
Emotions are running high. No one is listening. Everything is reaction. Shouting.Crying.Irritation.Conflict.Coldness.
You begin to feel this energy in your body:
Your chest grows heavy
Throat tightens
Gut becomes uneasy
Pause.
Take a slow breath.
Then mentally send love into the room. Do this whether you feel it or not. Whether you fully mean it or not. Just send the intention.
One of two things will usually happen—sometimes both:
The room’s emotional intensity softens, even if only slightly.
Or the energy that was coming toward you passes through you rather than stick to you.
Your mind clears.
And the individuals who produced the energy get it back and must deal with it.
TESTIMONIALS
Susan’s insightful guidance on how each of our party of three boomers recently retired should embrace our futures was spot on. She is not a traditional “psychic” with messages from deceased loved ones. Rather she is more of a teacher about your own spirit and what the Universe wants for you to work on and be more open about. She offered each of us a unique message. And helpful guidance on breathing and acceptance of the paths we each need to seek in our retirement years.
-Chris, Chicago, IL
We received a combined reading and it exceeded our expectations. All 3 of us came away with information that was uniquely specific for each of our individual situations. We all felt that Susan has a very strong gift and we walked away blessed with encouragement for our futures. I highly recommend Susan!
