About Susan
My own inward journey began with my early religious schooling. I later entered the convent where I began my lifelong practice of meditation. After leaving the convent, I explored my spiritual path by studying Eastern philosophies.
In the past 30 years, I have run the light where and when I have been called to – traveling the world over to help others. I call myself a Lightrunner ™.
To further my own spiritual growth, I met with psychics and healers around the globe and have spent a life time learning from seekers from every culture on what and how they “see”.
My life has been filled with multi-cultural experiential learning from Haiti to Dubai, UAE. These experiences have sharpened my skill set in the same manner as my previous career in the legal profession. Through my own dream analysis and Jungian shadow work, I have learned to understand and honor my gifts and it is a pleasure to share these with you.
