Stable in space
Hi, welcome, I’m so glad you’re here
The Cyclical Seed is my ex-voto of sorts.
I integrate somatic healing and spiritual psychology to help you navigate the human experience with grace and self-transform. Spirituality and psychology are meant to be one and the same, but both have gone awry.
Integrating various tools, I offer a holistic mind, body, heart, and spirit approach to continuous transformation and building compassionate resilience for the messy depth of being human.
I’m endlessly learning and integrating tools, you can see many of my trainings below, but I value philosophy (wisdom) over just following rigid frameworks and prioritize being in the present moment experience with you. It’s contemplative self-healing and feeling/being (presence) that heals, everything is simply just a resource to get there.
I believe in the coherence of the whole to grow, not just all the parts but all the dimensions of us, integrating the personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal, working with how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world through the attachment patterns that repeat within and without. Every pattern can be transformed.
The temple door is narrow, but it's in entering into your own mysteries you become unbreakable. Everything else is just a band-aid.
I’m a Pluto-in-Scorpio Millennial, I don't belong to any specific group or tradition, I live in NYC, The Cyclical Seed is alternative by design, and I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

Astrology & Mysticism as Healing Arts, not another Compulsion
The zodiac is the wheel of life. It's the seed pattern of subjective awareness, and I offer it as a tool to coherently navigate the cyclical patterning of our minds and emotional bodies, for self-discovery, and to connect to a larger cosmic whole - I don't want to just get you obsessed with astrology!
Compulsiveness, future fixing, and overly simplistic understandings of self are the antithesis of healing, spirituality, and what a true understanding of astrology reveals, as well as a true connection to mysticism: the unknowing.
Mysticism has been teaching the art of presence, resilience, and surrender to expand and self-heal long before the modern accepted approaches. Every therapeutic approach or neuroscience finding of meaning has its roots in mysticism or contemplative self-healing.
The past and conditioned experiences imprint on our mind, body, and soul/psyche, leaving us spinning around a wheel losing parts of us along the way, lost to moments of time, but through heart-mind coherence, compassionate presence, and wisdom, we can reclaim our soulfulness and self-unfold whole, with a lightness of being and heaviness of purpose.
For everything & always,
Susan Reis
Values
Individuation
Individuation and de-conditioning is a necessity to personal growth or transformation. This does not mean changing who you are. I believe in real self-acceptance and learning to trust your own natural evolution in life. To individuate is about removing layers of identity we pick up as compensation or defense. This is the foundation for self-agency and will, and only from there can we make our own meaning in life.
Not Just Healing, but Being
I don't want to get you stuck in a cycle of endlessly fixing and healing, which is far too common in the holistic space. And I’m not in the therapy space, so I certainly don’t want to pathologize every quark about you. I want to get you to a place out of the endless need to fix or to be someone, so you can just be, unfolding who you are in real time.
Compassionate Presence
I don’t just follow one modality or framework and claim it will heal you. I integrate a variety of tools so I can rely on my intuition in the present moment when working with you. Compassionate presence is how we heal and transform anything and is the foundation of my work philosophy (and life!). I prioritize compassionate presence and resilience.
Integrity
I offer alternative services as a psychosynthesis coach and somatic practitioner, and my foundation is mysticism. Everything about TCS is out-of-the-system, I’m not a licensed therapist and do not offer talk therapy. I take my care for clients seriously so am continuously learning and implement my own best practices which you can ask me about. I will let you know if my work isn’t the best fit for you or out of my scope. I’m also not “a healer;” the true Self is.
