"It's the most satisfying experience working with individuals that have had care with no success and get outcomes no one thought was possible."
Susan approaches her patients as a whole person, evaluating the interrelationships between the different systems in the body and fields. While using a variety of treatments the patients’ self-healing mechanism is accessed through; visceral manipulation, myofascial release, cranial-sacral therapy and articular manipulation. The pain and stress that impede the tissues are released, restoring movement and improving health.
Susan's education began with an undergraduate degree in Biomechanics and Human Movement Studies from Hunter College, a Physical Therapy degree from New York University and from the Canadian College of Osteopathy in Toronto Canada, a diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice.
Since 1993, Susan worked in Dance and Sports Medicine, with The American College of Sports Medicine, the Harkness Center for Dance Injuries at NYU Hospital for Joint Disease and Columbia Presbyterian Sports Medicine Center. She provided backstage services and ongoing care for several Broadway shows, Baryshnikov Productions, American Ballet Theatre II as well as Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award winning performers, the Detroit Redwings, New York Yankees, FIFA Women's World Cup and U.S. Military.

Presently, she studies with Bernard Darraillans, D.O., Genevieve Forget, D.O., Philippe Druelle, D.O., and attends courses as the Upledger Institute.
Currently, Susan is in private practice in New York City. Patients include individuals who have traumatic and chronic pain and those who have not responded to surgery, medications, or exercise. Susan treats head, neck and back injuries, post concussion syndrome, chronic headaches, TMJ, musculoskeletal pain, ear nose and throat issues, respiratory dysfunction, neurological syndromes, cardiovascular problems, digestive disorders and urogenital disorders.
During the one-hour session, a medical history is taken, followed by a physical examination and hands-on treatment. Appointments are scheduled based on the needs of the individual. Initially, the patient may be seen weekly for 1-3 visits. Time in between sessions is necessary to allow the body to integrate the work. As a patients health improves, the frequency of treatment decreases. The goal of treatment is to allow the body to naturally heal and regulate itself so intervention is not necessary.
