1996 while working in the film business as an Art Department Coordinator, Susan had been in a car crash. She totaled her car and injured her right ankle. After the usual doctors, physical therapies, acupuncture, chiropractors and massages, she was introduced to CranioSacral Therapy. It was during these sessions that she believes attributed to her walking without any noticeable limp.
Having been in the film world since 1990, Susan jumped that train to board another for a ride she does not regret. Bodywork and massage intrigued her to a degree that she pursued training from The Learning Center for Massage (TLC) in Fresno, California. During these classes, CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and Bowen, among other modalities, were discussed, and remembering the value of CST she pursued studies through the Upledger Institute. With each client, she learned and applied techniques that were fascinating and achieved remarkable results.
The first set of Bowen classes was taken in Auburn California through Bowen International and Bowen Healing Center. Susan achieved a practitioners status. Then having heard of the original Bowenwork technique from Bowtech of Australia and founders Ozzie and Elaine Rentsch, she enrolled into those classes completing 7 modules and the practitioners course, and specialized advanced class, becoming internationally certified as a Bowenwork Therapist.
Susan is not, nor does she consider herself as a 'healer' more over she assists the body to heal itself. Living as a strong advocate that the body wants to be well. It does not function in disharmony, and once given the tools to remember wellness, the body will respond to the very best of its ability to begin the healing process.
Learning is something Susan continues to do. Taking classes, keeping her interests peaked and listening, provides you, the client with a confidence that Susan takes her life's work very seriously.
