Susan has been working with meditation, psychology, yoga, bodywork, dance, and dance therapy since the 1970’s. She discovered Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®), the work of Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, one of the great teachers in her life, and she became a BMC® practitioner in 1982 and teacher in 1985. Susan says,, “I began to see the impossibility of working with the body without addressing the emotions directly, and began creating Body-Mind Psychotherapy. After my second book, Body-Mind Psychotherapy: Principles, Techniques, and Practical Applications (Norton, 2004) came out. I began to think about the continuity between spiritual practice and emotional awareness and healing. Now with the imminent release of Heart Open, Body Awake: The Four Steps of Embodied Spirituality (Shambhala, 2021), my work has fully blossomed.”
