As a Teacher
“I have found Suzanne to be approachable, knowledgeable, friendly and clear in her teaching. I loved the resources she used when teaching the Six Evils, which were clearly presented, opened up good discussion in the group, and really helped me to grasp the subject quickly. Also Suzanne is not afraid to say that she doesn’t know something when asked a question she can’t answer straight away, and will always check with the other teachers before feeding back to the group. Suzanne is also very supportive and encouraging when observing practical work. I wish more of my teachers at school had been like Suzanne!”
“Suzanna is approachable and we all have a good rapport with her. With the practical sessions she is reassuring and provides confidence. “
As a Therapist
“Suzanne is amazing. I went to her with severe headaches for over a year and although I was continuing searching for a medical treatment, I thought I’d try acupuncture as it was in national guidelines.
Suzanne figured out I was holding a lot of tension in my shoulders and I had
acupuncture and neck massages and after 8 sessions I was cured! Suzanne is very
warm and professional, I genuinely felt like she wanted me to get better. Thank
you so much Suzanne”
“I came to see Suzanne as I was really struggling with my back as a dog groomer. My first time today and I feel unreal. What a talent. Suzanne is truly so good at what she does, you could feel her focusing on the pain spots and she knew EXACTLY where to focus on. Best thing I’ve ever done. “
“I went to Suzanne today for the first time with some hip and back pain. She treated me with a combination of massage and acupuncture which left me feeling much better! It’s clear she has a passion and expertise for natural therapy.”
