“Suzanne digs deep into herself to offer the highest, and demands the same introspection, depth and radical honesty from her students. Suzanne’s knowledge is vast and detailed — from her knowledge and expertise in psychology and therapeutics, to her understanding of bio-energetics, anatomy and philosophy. Most importantly, she has her finger on the pulse of each student-teacher’s unique strength, and does her best to nurture that while compassionately trimming out any unhelpful habits or inhibitions.”
