Testimonials – Yoga Therapy

Feedback from Susie’s yoga therapy clients.

Anon.

I had a course of yoga therapy sessions with Susie to address an ongoing issue of discomfort / pain in my leg and knee. After a very thorough initial assessment, we had 6 sessions. In these Susie devised a practice for me to take home, based on the problems I wanted to address. She took great care to ensure that each posture she suggested was not causing me any pain as well as explaining her rationale for including it in the practice. These 6 sessions were spaced out to roughly once a month. Over this time I noticed a definite improvement, with much less discomfort. I have these practices to return to, should the problem arise again. I am very grateful to Susie for her help.

Susie has a calm, considerate and friendly presence. Quickly put away any fears I had as a novice to yoga and gently introduced me to some very useful and healing movements and techniques.

I have found working with Susie very helpful indeed. I had not had one to one teaching for some years, and had been through some major life changes, including loss of partner and serious cancer diagnosis and treatment.

I was keen to bring yoga back into my life on a regular basis, and also wanted to explore some of the issues I was facing through my practice. Susie has given me simple, healing practices that have very well addressed the issues I’ve raised with her, and those that she’s observed.

I found that she listened really well and she has been kind and supportive. I greatly value her pragmatic approach and the way that she made me feel at ease with her from the start.

She has excellent communication skills.

I have appreciated how Susie has adapted some of the moves or poses to have a greater or more specific effect, and I look forward to continuing to work with her, as some underlying issues have definitely improved.

I would certainly recommend Susie.

She is very professional in her approach – eg in sending session reminders, keeping to time, being clear about boundaries – for example, explaining how she will present me as a case study, maintaining confidentiality.

I am extremely grateful to her for having had this opportunity.

Susie is an attentive and generous listener and observer. She tailors therapeutic yoga practices that are easy to follow and easy to stick to at home. She is knowledgeable, sympathetic and practical. You don’t need to be someone who already regularly practices yoga to benefit.

Susie had a gentle but thorough approach to helping me with my chronic pain and stiffness. The personalised yoga routines were carefully adjusted and tailored to meet my specific physical needs and lifestyle. I was then able to gradually increase my strength and range of movement.

I began working with Susie after struggling with osteoarthritis in my knees and persistent lower back pain. After a period of inactivity, I was looking for a way to move more comfortably and regain my strength. 

Susie has been an incredible guide, starting me off with gentle, tailored yoga practices to support and strengthen both my knees and back. Thanks to her guidance, I’m now moving with much more ease and comfort and am more in tune with what my body needs. 

Working with Susie is always a pleasure. She is compassionate and highly knowledgeable, creating a personalized plan that always fits my needs in the moment. My connection to yoga has deepened significantly, and her thoughtful adaptations have played a key role in that. 

The regular sessions help keep me accountable, and I’ve finally started seeing the results I’ve been working toward.

I have found my yoga therapy sessions with Susie very helpful.  I initially contacted Susie for help with a tight neck but along the way we have covered a number of other things which have cropped up.  Susie always listens very carefully and clearly explains her recommendations. Since working full time and having three teenagers can impact my time, I appreciated Sue giving me options for practices of different lengths and even things I could do at my desk or in a quiet corner at work.  She has a calm, professional and empathetic manner and I have learned a lot that will help from Lion’s Breath for just letting it all out (not one to do at work though!) to gentle Nyasam (which I definitely can do at work).
