Sue helps people manage and prevent the effects of poor health, chronic stress, and burnout. With over 500 hours of yoga teacher training and 2,200 hours of acupuncture practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, she’s fascinated by how simple tools—breath, movement, acupressure, and small needles—can profoundly calm the body and mind.
Sue focuses on the connection between body and mind, using acupuncture, breath work, and gentle movement to support healing, whether you’re dealing with a new injury, chronic pain, or emotional stress.
