Learn to Balance Your Emotions

Experiencing emotions is part of being human. It’s when an emotion becomes our attitude towards life or our way of being, that we experience discomfort and dis-ease.

Balancing our emotions can be as simple as holding a finger—really.

The problem is many of us are unaware of what we’re even feeling. How can we expect to feel better if we’re unaware or unable to process our five core emotions?

In my upcoming seven week signature course launching soon (details coming), you’ll get to learn how to identify, feel and process negative emotions so you can more fully access and experience joy, peace, calm, awe and gratitude. Details to include the 3-day free challenge in advance of the program.

Hi, I’m Suzanne.

As a yoga instructor, meditation and mindfulness coach and Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner, I teach women how to identify, access and balance their emotions so they can reconnect to their true self and experience more joy, awe, calm and peace of mind.

My Story:

My healing journey began well before my son’s passing from leukemia at age 9. Through his three battles, we discovered an unexpected gift: the ability to find fun in each day, no matter the circumstances.

My Path:

When anxiety nearly crippled me, I cultivated practices to stay grounded, not just for myself, but for my family. These tools became our lifeline.

My Mission:

I guide others to uncover their paths to innate resilience. Together we develop personalized practices that cultivate calm, ease and joy, even in tough times. By tapping into your strength, you learn to navigate challenges and embrace the richness of each day.

My Podcast

Finding Joy in the Hard launched on December 4, 2023, has reached listeners in 6 continents! I interview people who have overcome significant challenges, sharing their transformation. Each episode includes healing tips from Jin Shin Jyutsu, breathwork, meditation and mindfulness and belief upgrades.

Jin Shin Jyutsu

My Jin Shin Jyutsu Journey:

This gentle healing practice became a saving grace after my son’s death. Through the use of our hands, via light touch, and breath, I was able to calm my anxiety and ease stomachaches and other physical discomforts.

It’s amazing how something so simple can support us emotionally, physically and mentally.

What I love about this practice:

It calms anxiety and panic
Eases headaches, stomachaches and other physical discomfort
Gives you energy when you’re tired; helps you relax when you’re wired.

I loved this art so much, I became a certified Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner in 2016.

Art

Jin Shin Jyutsu shares its roots with acupuncture and acupressure. JSJ balances the subtle energies in our mind, body and spirit to stimulate our natural healing response.

Benefits

Jin Shin Jyutsu has been shown to reduce stress, & physical discomfort, and accelerate the body’s natural healing response. When the body and mind are relaxed, it can heal.

Harmony

Energy pathways in our body get congested due to lifestyle, environment, genetics and the food we eat. Congestion can cause discomfort and pain. Using your breath and gently holding your fingers, or placing your hands on specific locations, called safety energy locks, brings your body back into balance.

History

According to ancient written records in the Archives of the Imperial Palace in Japan, Jin Shin Jyutsu was widely known before the birth of Buddha and Moses.

Meditation, Yoga, Breathwork

Yoga, mediation and breath work were also key parts of my healing. As such I became a yoga instructor and have been teaching yoga, breath work and meditation for 13 years.

Here’s a simple practice to calm stress: Take a sip of air in through the nose. Exhale out the nose, making the exhale slightly longer than the inhale. Hold your breath for a second or two (unless your pregnant) and then breathe in through the nose again. Keep going.

This breath practice stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system so you can rest and digest. Continue for a few minutes or more.

Visualization

Want to ease worry/overwhelm? Try visualizing.

Four minutes of visualization can cancel out 8 hours of worry: Set your timer for 4 minutes first thing in the morning. Close your eyes, envision your day ahead – imagine everything unfolding in your favor. Don’t focus on how you’ll do it. Instead, focus on how it feels once you’ve done it. Allow feelings of elation, joy, peace or ease to fill you up. Imagine what you might hear, see, feel or smell. Stay in the feeling. It can change your day!

Having trouble? I can create a personal visualization for you.

Stressed? Reach for your thumb

Hold your thumb, gently, to calm worry and improve focus.

Hold for a few breaths or longer. (Suggested five to 18 minutes).

A student athlete of mine took long deep breaths and held his thumb to improve his concentration and reduce stress before batting.

Testimonials

As a yoga teacher and energy healer, Suzanne’s superpower is inspiring others to become their best selves. With her knowledge of yoga and energy work and her dedication to self-improvement, Suzanne always has something new to share. Whether it’s an affirmation from one of her dharma talks, a self-help strategy for dealing with a physical issue, or the opportunity to start the day feeling uplifted after one of her classes, Suzanne offers tools for transformation on every level.

I credit Suzanne’s guided Jin Shin Jyutsu meditation on anxiety with helping me get my dream job at a top technology company. Her meditation helped me stay focused and think on my feet during a seven-hour interview process. Not being anxious saved me energy to think quickly and answer the many questions coming my way. Without her meditation, it would have been harder for me to last the entire day and perform as well as I did, especially in the later interviews.

Suzanne is an awesome yoga teacher and guru. She is absolutely one of my favorites. Her style of teaching is playfully infused with a lot of mind body and spirit expertise, explaining the why's and how's behind poses. And Jin Shin Jyutsu with Suzanne changed my life. She healed my foot injury in no time. I always finish her sessions feeling balanced, restored, and better.

Practicing yoga and Jin Shin Jyutsu with Suzanne is the gift I give myself.

For at least 15 years, I struggled with sleep. I never wanted to take pharmaceuticals as that would create other issues. After trying several different alternative approaches that did not help me, I listened to Suzanne talk about Jin Shin Jyutsu and how it could address many different body functions. My ears perked up when she mentioned sleep! Her "wrist holding suggestion" along with conscious breathing - was like magic for me! It relaxes my body and helps me sleep! It is easy and takes very little effort, I can't thank Suzanne enough for guiding me to more restful nights of sleep!

Suzanne taught me how to relieve my stiff neck in three easy steps. Her instructions and explanations are easy to understand and implement on myself. I highly recommend Suzanne and her Jin Shin Jyutsu practice.

Suzanne, a registered yoga instructor and certified Jin Shin Jytusu practitioner teaches a unique form of yoga and meditation incorporating Jin Shin JyutsU, an ancient Japanese healing art using your hands and your breath to relax the mind, body, and spirit.
