Mindfulness, Meditation & Breath Training
- Unit price
- /per
Learn in a private and personalized setting how to meditate on your own, without the need of a guide, guru, or technology. This is about learning how to use these tools on your own and the underlying wisdom, rather than me just solely guiding you the whole time. Practices are importantly taught from a non-dogmatic perspective and emphasize the foundational wisdom to practice safely and meaningfully. You can be completely new to meditating or an experienced practitioner looking to go deeper or anywhere in between.
For new meditators, we'll focus on inner object referral meditating, compassion meditations, mindfulness, and gentle conscious breathing. Practicing mindfulness and the wisdom meant to be cultivated in meditation is always the focus.
We can also work with visualizations, open awareness, somatic inquiry, relaxation techniques, contemplation practices, and meaningful lucid states/dreaming.
These sessions are 55 minutes over zoom or in-person in NYC - please reach out to book locally (at Balance Arts Center in Chelsea) or to book for private groups and events. For mantra meditation and a more accessible TM alternative, see the on-demand course.

"I’m still spinning from our reading yesterday. I wanted to reach out and say thank you. You really made me feel okay with embracing the unknown that is in front of me at the moment. Thank you for embracing my energy and what I brought into the session with me."
"This was absolutely amazing. I really really appreciate it! So much of that resonated so deeply. Thank you again :) "
"I had a wonderful experience. Your astrology is more than just a recreational use; it's empowering, eye-opening, and truly invaluable. I'm eager to schedule another session to dive deeper into other areas of my birth chart, as I found it fascinating and so applicable!"
"Susan did a solar return overview for me, which was very illuminating. I learned about aspects of my natal chart I had not been clear about before and these were so validating to me as I undergo a period of profound transition in all aspects of my life. Her insight imbued me with confidence in the direction I’m going and hope for a positive outcome. Understanding where I can experience flow instead of friction is key to empowerment and success."
"Thank you so much again for such an informative reading! Really appreciated all the insights!"
"My reading was awesome. The information covered regarding my career path and timeline helped clarify a lot of what I was feeling and dealing with, and reduced my stress level on outcomes and timelines. I was able to see a much larger view of my situation and understand the timing of my plans, which allowed me to be more present and creative in my work. She even touched on an aspect of myself that was so new and recent to me that I was completely surprised she was able to see it so clearly. Overall, I gained much-needed perspective, and because of this, I am able to be more present with my projects vs worrying about the future. I now feel confident and at ease with my plans."
What to Know / FAQs
Birth charts, also called natal charts, are the map of your energetic field. This is the snapshot of the cosmos at the exact moment and location of your birth - the energy and vibration the universe made at that very moment. It is the field of energy and cause & effect you are working with inside you and projecting outside of you.
Astrology birth charts are very precise. You will need to know your birth date, time, and location to book a reading. Most birth certificates have the birth time indicated on them. I do not offer birth chart rectification at this time but if you have a couple hour gap then we can work with that.
I'm an archetypal and evolutionary astrologer, both psychological and spiritual, using the western tropical zodiac and primarily whole sign houses. I also use Ancient Hellenistic Astrology and to a lesser extent Jyotish (Vedic).
My approach is a fusion across these styles, from ancient to modern, esoteric to psychological, and technical and intuitive. I work with archetypal energies and cyclical themes, rather than focusing on overly specific manifestations and generalizations. I importantly take a mindful and holistic approach.
I use evolutionary astrology, but I don't concoct past life narratives (feel free to ask me if you want to hear my rant on this). I talk about your soul journey, your spiritual journey towards meeting yourself, and time/space fluidity and you can interpret & integrate that however you choose.
Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal or spiritual psychology developed by Roberto Assagioli, a lesser-known contemporary of Carl Jung. Unlike psychoanalysis, however, psychosynthesis is not a perpetual analysis of the psyche and unconscious, but instead seeks to synthesize our conscious and unconscious layers to create inner harmony and importantly expand to higher consciousness states.
Psychosynthesis is a discipline to help liberate us from the unconscious cycles of our own minds and emotional body. It offers tools to navigate the human experience with both love and will.
"Psyche" meant "soul" in Ancient Greek, but we've separated the two and lost the connection to the latter. Psychosynthesis reclaims our soulfulness and reintegrates this into our very being for true mind-body-spirit based self-healing.
If you are familiar with Inner Family Systems, Psychosynthesis created an earlier framework that is very similar in terms of parts work. Psychosynthesis encompasses various other tools, however, and is a much deeper and spiritual based modality. I am not certified in IFS but have studied and taken courses on that practice as well.
At its most ambitious and for those on a spiritual path who are ready to detach, Psychosynthesis is a framework for Self-Realization.

I offer coaching and not therapy services. Coaching and therapy are separate modalities.
I am not a psychologist, therapist, psychiatrist, or medical doctor and these services do not substitute for that medical care.
Coaching sessions are not talk therapy, so we may naturally explore some processing of past experiences as it arises, but we'll focus more on the present as well as your future and potential. We'll work together to move beyond unconscious limitations to higher consciousness exploration.
Coaching is about moving forward and how to use the past as fuel to do so, rather than getting stuck in the past.
This is not the fluffy motivational kind of coaching but is transformative work that taps into your own inner wisdom. It's also not talk therapy so is not about renumerating the past but exploring your potential and innate abilities, through self-knowing and compassion.
Sessions are all live, private, done virtually over Zoom, and we can record them.
