About Susan

Come back to yourself.

I spent years searching for peace outside of myself. Meditation taught me how to become present to what was already here.

Who I Am

I’m a meditation teacher and mindfulness facilitator.

My teachings use inspiration from insight meditation, Buddhist and Kabbalah teachings, Classical Yoga and 8+ years of personal practice.

I teach meditation in a way that is accessible, practical, and deeply human — whether you're completely new to meditation or ready to deepen a practice you've already begun.

Meditation isn't about becoming more. It's about becoming more present to the life you're already living.

How I Got Here

I spent years trying to become enough.

I tried the affirmations. The journaling. The courses. The personal development. I was always looking for the next thing that would finally make me feel whole.

And somewhere underneath all of it was a longing I couldn't quite name.

I wanted to feel at home within myself.

Years ago, someone asked me to teach yoga. I said no.

But I said I could teach meditation.

I didn't understand why at the time. I simply knew.

Over the years, meditation became more than something I practiced. It became the way I learned to meet my own mind, my emotions, uncertainty, relationships, and life itself.

I began to understand that meditation wasn't about becoming a better version of myself.

It was about learning to be present with the person who was already here.

And that's what I love sharing with others.

I spent years trying to become enough.
No one told me I already was.

My Approach

Meditation isn't about making your mind perfectly quiet.

It's learning to notice. To breathe. To listen. To meet whatever is here without immediately needing to change it.

Notice

Become aware of what is happening in your mind and body without needing to immediately fix it.

Breathe

Use the breath as an anchor for returning to the present moment.

Be Present

Meet your experience with greater awareness, compassion, and curiosity.

My teachings use inspiration from insight meditation, Buddhist and Kabbalah teachings, Classical Yoga and 8+ years of personal practice.

Begin Where You Are

There is nowhere else you need to be.

Start with a few quiet minutes and see what becomes possible when you simply pause and listen.
