Mindfulness, Meditation & Breathwork

- /per
Learn in a private and personalized setting how to meditate on your own, without the need of a guide, guru, or technology. I teach from a non-dogmatic perspective and emphasize the foundational and universal wisdom to practice safely and meaningfully. You can be completely new to meditating or an experienced practitioner looking to go deeper.
Meditation - We'll initially focus on inner object referral meditating. We can cover various styles of meditation depending on your objectives and preference, including mindfulness, compassion meditations, mantra or sacred word prayer, imagery, body scans, open awareness, embodied contemplation, insight, and techniques for either relaxation or focus.
Breathwork - We can incorporate breath for both embodied contemplation purposes as well as to optimize health through nervous system regulation. I utilize Buteyko methods for corrective or functional breathing. These are simple but powerful techniques to correct our breathing patterns and thus regulate our nervous system and help to relieve stress.
Mindfulness - Meditation is not the point of meditation. In any of my work with meditation, the objective is always cultivating compassionate presence and wisdom to take with you off the mat. So in learning meditation from me, you'll inherently learn mindfulness.
Consciousness Exploration - For more experienced and grounded meditators, we can delve deeper into self-enquiry, disidentification, journeys, and lucidity. Compassionate presence and wisdom are still always the focus.
These sessions are 1-hour over zoom (please reach out to book locally at Balance Arts Center in Chelsea or to book for private groups and events).

"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."
"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."
"I have never been able to journal consistently until I found your 2024 journal on Amazon. I can’t begin to tell you how impactful it has been on my healing journey."
What to Know / FAQs
Birth charts, also called natal charts, are the map of the cosmos at the exact moment and location of your birth - the energy and vibration the universe sounded at that very moment. It is your polar coordinates in spacetime, and you are the celestial holographic projection of these coordinates here on Earth so infinity can know itself.
Astrology birth charts are very precise. You will need to know your birth date, time, and location. 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 I 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 Jyotish (Vedic) Astrology.
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, so actual astrology and not simplistic 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. The emphasis is on parts work, purpose, direction, and authentic will.
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.

No, 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 endlessly getting stuck in the past. This is not the fluffy motivational kind of coaching though 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.
I work from a spiritually attuned perspective, which is where any and all healing truly sources. Wisdom is about the skill to eternally self-transform. You'll need to already have an inner sense of motivation and willingness to do the work for my sessions to be truly beneficial for you. And if interested in exploring your spirituality, we'll need to establish a sense of grounded-ness first.
