Held fully. Seen deeply.
Welcome home to yourself.

Your journey to somatic liberation.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

My name is Susanna.
I am a Somatic Mentor, a guide of embodied movement, and a long-time, multi-style yoga teacher.
My deepest calling is to support people in building the capacity to be in their lives rather than interpreting them — to return to their essential nature.

Somatic work transformed my life. It brought me back to my aliveness, my power, and my softness. It taught me how to live as myself, as I am. When we meet our human complexity with presence, curiosity, and compassion, we create the possibility for true intimacy — with ourselves and with others.

I guide people to honor the messy, the sacred, the fragile, and the hidden. Growth doesn’t have to feel like an uphill battle; it is a homecoming to the softness, vitality, and acceptance that have always lived within you.

I’ve studied yoga extensively (E-RYT 1000+) across India, Costa Rica, and Europe, with a focus on Trauma-Informed Yoga. My training also includes the Somatic Activated Healing Method™, Somatic Therapy (Embodied Processing), and work with the Somatic Healing Institute.

I do many things, but at the heart of it all is this:
I support people in reclaiming their aliveness, their authenticity, and their innate freedom.

Welcome beauty,

”Susanna softly transforms lives without pushing you. Her presence feels like a safety blanket under which you can explore at your own pace. Through our journey together I felt loved, seen, and heard like never before. I learned what it is to find home, safety and peace within my own body.”

Testimonials.

"I don't even know where to start in describing how Susanna was one of the best encounters in my life. She's a wonderful teacher and a super space holder. In addition, she brings her humanity into everything she teaches & does, which is rare to find. Susanna is welcoming in the sense that she never has pretensions and expectations about people, she creates a comfortable environment in which each person can simply be themselves. Her practices are special and her somatic knowledge enriches the practice allowing you to go even deeper. There are few precious people like Susanna in the world, so if you have the opportunity to work with her don't hesitate for a moment, DO IT!"

"Susanna has this amazing ability to make every inch of you, literally every part of you feel incredibly seen and heard. She lays a platform to allow you to explore yourself, your thoughts, your everything, and to feel completely safe doing it. She helped lead me toward unlocking a whole other level within myself as a teacher, woman, and human being in general. She’s like the coach who calmly and gently walks you down the diving board and has you 1,000,000% confident that you’ll jump into the perfect thing when you reach the end. Thank you Susanna for being an incredible inspiration, a phenomenal teacher, a magical space holder, an overall lovely person, and a new friend."

"Working with Susanna was truly transformational. She holds space in a way that feels so rare and refreshing because she does it by showing up as her full, authentic self, and she gives everyone else permission to do the same. There’s something so beautiful and inspiring about learning in her presence, because as she teaches, she also reflects you back to yourself in the most loving way. Throughout the training, I felt completely supported. Susanna’s guidance is both gentle and powerful, rooted in a deep inner knowing that creates a sense of safety and trust. I never felt rushed or judged, just deeply seen and lovingly held. Her ability to meet each person where they are and honor the many ways we learn made the experience feel not only accessible, but also deeply personal and thoughtful. Susanna doesn’t just teach…she witnesses, she nourishes, and she reminds you of your own wisdom. She truly sees you, and helps you grow from exactly where you are. If you’re considering working with her, know this: Susanna is the kind of guide who helps you come home to yourself in the most loving, embodied, and empowering way."

—Jade
"Susanna is a force of truth, courage, and deep authenticity. In her presence, you are gently guided to remember the boldest, most expansive version of who you truly are. She meets you soul-to-soul, attuned to every thought, feeling, and expression with profound compassion and wisdom. Her words alone carry a frequency that lands directly in the heart and allow for an embodied experience. She moves you through and past the "story" and into the embodiment where healing can take place. It is a true blessing to be held in her guidance. The sacred space she creates invites healing on all levels — a space where your spirit feels seen, safe, and free to awaken your true self."

—Tracy
"Spending an intensive week with Susanna during the Sensual Soma training was a deeply transformative and nourishing experience. From the very first moment, I felt completely held, seen, and supported by her warm, motherly presence. There is something incredibly unique and grounding about the way she holds space – it’s tender, safe, and empowering all at once. Susanna carries a profound wisdom, not only about the body, anatomy, and the nervous system, but also about life itself. The way she shares her knowledge is infused with deep care, clarity, and embodiment – making it not just informative but truly alive. I left our time together feeling inspired, softened, and more connected to myself than ever before. I am endlessly grateful that our paths crossed. Susanna is a rare gem – a true guide and a radiant inspiration. With all my heart, thank you."
