"Hands down, this workshop is the best thing I have ever done for myself...EVER!!!  ***I mean EVER!!!!!!!!!!***"

Joni J.

"Suzanne is a remarkable teacher and practitioner of Emotional Release Therapy. I first learned from her seven years ago, when she was an assistant teacher with Pat Jackman. Since then, our friendship has deepened and I’ve had the privilege of assisting Suzanne in her own learning series. Suzanne’s teaching style is both organized and thorough, making complex concepts accessible and engaging. She possesses a rare gift for truly seeing people, guiding them to uncover and heal the deeper parts of themselves. Her empathy, compassion, and bold authenticity create a safe and nurturing environment for her clients and students, alike. She is not afraid to challenge her students to see themselves, encourage them to meet themselves where they are and to work through challenges that may be getting in their way of being the best practitioners possible. Suzanne is not only a dedicated teacher but also a loving presence who is fully present with each individual. If you're seeking a transformative experience, look no further than working with Suzanne."

"Going through this learning series with Suzanne has been such a transformational process. She has held such an open and loving space for me to experience and learn this work, and words cannot fully express my gratitude. I have felt so encouraged, seen, and supported throughout this learning process- each and every part of me. The very principles she teaches in this learning series are woven so seamlessly into the fabric of the experience, making it a potent opportunity for a deep integration of all parts of self. I have felt so held by her and this group container, like a home away from home. And always met exactly where I am at in full love and acceptance. I highly recommend learning this modality with Suzanne if you are curious and feel called - this experience has changed my life and I know this work will continue to have such a profound impact for me. I feel myself blossoming into the truth of who I am more and more every day, thanks to ERT & the beautifully welcoming space held by Suzanne & in the learning series."

"You've facilitated more than a learning series - but a community of deep love and support that extends far and wide. I came into this workshop so self-conscious, unsettled, filled with knots and loops of my own suffering and self-doubt. A new way of showing up as myself has emerges on this last day, as I surrendered, accepted and eventually loved for all my darkness and light. I came with preconceptions, bitterness, fear, and tremendous grief, with bursting questions for myself begging to be pieced together, felt, heard, seen, and transformed. This space, our collective bravery, birthed this healing and the gratitude I feel is perhaps the greatest legacy gift of it. An appreciation and love for myself that I can have for myself, that I DO have for myself, that I realize now, paradoxically, didn't need healing for me to love. I love my unhealed parts. That's what I loved, that's what I learned: there's both everything and nothing to heal. Just to feel."

"I have prayed for years to have a chance to experience this sense of belonging and community and the gift to heal while learning to help others. ERT has changed my life. I am finally able to show up whole to my inner child and be able to nurture the parts of me that I neglected all my life. Wisdom, compassion, and kindness are gifts in abundance during the school. Your compassion, your capacity to love each one of us gives us the space to thrive and find inner love - the confidence, the self love and the autonomy to participate in our own healing. You are a bright light in my life and you have given me years of love that I never had. I'm grateful for the raw honesty, the hugs, the acts of love, for being my ears and my shoulders, for reminding me of my worthiness and allowing me to be me, in a safe place, for seeing each of us and the strength that many times we lost on the way. I wish I could be your forever student. You are a magical being. Thank you for so much love and acknowledgement. I am finally home."

"It has been such a gift experiencing this school with you as my teacher. You have helped and inspired me in ways words fall short of describing. Thank you for seeing me and letting me see you. I have felt truly held throughout this experience. Your bright light and authenticity has shown me how possible it is to find the same creative freedom in my life and within myself, and for that I am grateful. Also - you fucking rock and your wholesomeness is contagious. Thank you for holding such a loving space for us and for making sure we are all so well taken care of, for the beautiful food and love you've poured into it, and into the experience, and for just being who you are. It feels like a big juicy gift to get to know you. Thank you for receiving and welcoming us all with such loving and open arms. I am grateful that we've gotten to become a part of each others lives and paths."

Liz P

"I got more out of this school than I could have ever imagined. It truly helped me to step into myself. And gave me something I've been searching for my whole life... belonging. I feel so lucky to have learned this work from you, in your home, eating your food. Words cannot express the gratitude and love I have for you. Thank you for guiding us with such authenticity and warmth."

"I gained my freedom through ERT. Sweet release, freedom, and sorrowful joy (it’s a thing). After decades of attempting to release tears, to cry even a little bit to relieve the grief I carried from childhood trauma, I finally gained freedom through ERT. My demons aren’t gone, but I’m aware of their patterns and am freer to make different choices when they arise. My grief is not gone, but I’m able to turn towards it, no longer running in panic and fear, knowing that there really was no place to hide. My fear is not gone, but I am able to embrace it, learn from it and release it. My sorrow is not gone, but I have room to breathe into it and space for it to run through me. I’m no longer stuck. I feel joy and love and freedom with a depth I didn’t know existed."

"My very first session was the first time in a very long time I felt unconditional love for myself. Afterwards I remember feeling so light and free, walking around with my shoulders back, not worrying that my heart was exposed. I knew then this is how life is supposed to be lived. Shortly after this session with Suzanne I signed up for a 5-day ERT workshop. The intensity of that workshop was exactly what I had been searching for. I felt like one of those glow-up sticks being constantly cracked open little by little until I was bendable again. The fact that it was session after session and you were not able to try close up in between made the work even more intense than single sessions spread out over a longer period of time. Not walking around with a shield for protection, being able to FULLY enjoy life, and allowing myself to embrace all of me and the people around me is why I love this work. I highly encourage anyone who has the slightest of interest in ERT to try the workshop, you'll be in loving hands!"

"I can't speak enough praises for this incredibly powerful somatic release work. It's hard to put into words, I simply felt much more clear, light, more clarity and like more of my parts were all firing on the same cylinder/on board with living large, etc... hope that makes sense! Do it, you'll be SO glad you did!"

Mikaela J.

"The sessions that I have had with Suzanne have been completely life changing! I had been seeking relief from depression and anxiety and overall just wanting to feel more in tune with myself and my body. Suzanne provided a safe and peaceful space for me to fully express the emotional energy I was holding. I felt an incredible release of self judgement and anger immediately after my first session and a shift in my perspective in the following two weeks. The session brought me more into my body, a place I didn’t realize until this work that I had been so disconnected from. I moved from a consistently anxious state to walking in self love and a sense of knowing of who I am. My time with Suzanne had such a profound effect that I have continued to receive sessions regularly. She has been an exceptional guide through the process, making me feel comfortable every step of the way. Her intuition is incredible as she seems to know exactly what to say and what points to open and when. This has proved to be an invaluable gift as it has helped me to face and feel things that I have spent years turning away from. Suzanne has a true healing energy that is felt on the table and off. I highly recommend her to anyone that is ready to shift into more of who they really are."

Lacey J.

"The first time I ever had a session with Suzanne, I was in awe of her work. I couldn't believe how gracefully she led me through all of the difficult stages of healing. The intuition that she used led me to huge breakthroughs and allowed me to connect to the deepest layer of what I was truly feeling. She stood there with me through some of the hardest feelings I have ever had to feel. Her open hearted witnessing allowed me to feel incredibly safe and guided within her presence. Ever since, working with Suzanne has been a continuous pleasure. She seems to always know exactly how to move me through our sessions, especially when I feel like I'm not sure how to proceed. Her empathy and love is palpable. She is real. She gets this work and she will always and continuously show up for you."

Laura T.

"My sessions with Suzanne were comfortable, emotionally safe and compassionate healing experiences. At the time I had started my journey of self care and healing. I was drawn to her work and decided it was the next thing to experience in up leveling. Taking me through the emotions that were ready to be expressed and released ended up being a catalyst on a deep soul level. During my very first session, I opened up the door to my gifts of intuition and metaphysical abilities. Truly a one of a kind experience. If you are ready to heal on a Soul level, I highly recommend Suzanne to be the key holder to help you open that door."

Andrea S.

"I've had several amazing sessions from Suzanne and the more I learn to feel into my body in our sessions, the less I expect or try to control how they should go or what I think I should feel. Suzanne is always supportive no matter what shows up for me during the session and I know I am in a space where all of my emotions and feelings are truly welcome, so I can totally let me guard down, just breathe and be with whatever I'm experiencing. The work Suzanne does is without a doubt the most special and powerful healing modality I've ever come across in all my years of searching to heal from childhood trauma. She is such a gifted and giving practitioner of this work and Portland is so lucky to have her!"

Jason C.

"As an ERT practitioner Suzanne holds a safe and grounded space with compassion for your process. She will hold you accountable for your own work while witnessing with care and love. Suzanne has an empowering energy which uplifts all who enter her sphere."

Christine B.

"There are no words to describe how healing this work is and how patient, compassionate and kind Suzanne is. Please go and do this for yourself at least once and if you don't feel lighter, better, happier, relieved and satisfied - then don't do it again. I felt absolutely fantastic and did it again a couple of weeks after. It's a tremendous healing process of release and transmuting trauma into love. Self love. Thank you, Suzanne! I will be back!"
