Susan has been working in the field of massage since 1998. She received her training at Brenneke School of Massage (now known as Cortiva Institute) in Seattle, Washington. Keeping up with the highest standards in her field she is a proud member of the AMTA as well as being Nationally Certified and maintaining her Washington license.

After graduating she returned home to Michigan to be close to family and set up her practice. She was the owner/operator of her own studio, A Peaceful Place, for six years. After a successful run, she closed the business to focus on her growing family. She is the proud mama of two beautiful boys, Jack and Sam. She enjoys spending time with her husband and her sons laughing, playing and loving life.

Susan has such a vast knowledge of the field and the way the body works. She assesses her clients' posture, gate, tissue condition, joint function, muscle strength, and range of motion, and responds with all of her skills to what she feels your body needs. She provides clients with guidance and information about techniques for postural improvement, stretching, strengthening, and relaxation.

Susan incorporates many different modalities in her massages. She works from a base of Swedish massage and includes elements of deep tissue, reflexology, trigger point therapy and shiatsu. Based on the clients’ individual needs, she will customize each session to ensure that those needs are met.

Her work is an art, and she is a therapist who loves what she does, continues to learn, and, with her intuitive touch, she enhances her client's well-being. A massage with Susan is an experience to be remembered. She gives your body what it needs to be healthy and whole. She guides your body into remembering how to feel strong, flexible and relaxed.
