Hi! I’m Susie
Welcome to the story of my Journey.
It all started in my living room!
I was asked by my spiritual teacher if I was ready to spread the wisdom. I was so nervous so my first impulse was to say no. I already had my healing practice set up offering energy healing and life coaching, but what I was learning with him felt –out of my comfort zone – I felt I needed to be more prepared. One day during meditation, I felt the energy of a lot of people waiting for me, ready to learn… from me! –
That is the story from when I started teaching meditation as an active Acharya in the Mahajrya Buddhist Tradition back in 2010. I never would have guessed that I would end up where I’m at right now – combing plant medicine healing and my Buddhist training. Just like before, I was nervous when I received the call to follow this path, but unlike before, this time I know that God totally has my back and this is exactly what I’m supposed to be doing. AHO!
The living room where all the fun started!
I am the youngest in my family. This is a Mother’s Day Celebration in Juarez, Mexico
Of course, my journey started long before that. I was born and raised in Juarez – Mexico a border city to El Paso, TX. Moved to El Paso in 1991 soon after getting married. We had 2 children and divorced 11 years later. This is where the need to search for something greater began.
No desire to improve comes from everything going our way. The challenges during the marriage led me to read personal development books and I discovered there was so much more to learn. After my divorce, I dove deep in search of answers to the many questions I had.
I became an Instructor and Life Coach with a Personal Development group and had the chance to travel to several cities in the US and some parts of Mexico. Soon after, I discovered energy healing and became a ReiKi Master/Teacher along with various other healing techniques. In 2009 I met my Buddhist teacher and became his disciple and studied under his guidance for almost 7 years.
Awakening to my path
There were two things that always excited me since I was young; caring for others, so I always volunteered to do mission work and visit the sick. Second; speaking on uplifting topics in public.
2 years after my divorce, the father of my children passed away. This brought a new set of challenges, an additional sadness for both my children and myself to heal. Searching for ways to support that healing, I discovered ReiKi and that’s what started my path as a healer. I loved the idea of offering this type of session. I learned several other energy healing techniques but nothing is as dear to my heart as offering a ReiKi healing session or teaching a class be it meditation, reiki, or on personal development.
I am ordained as Acharya in the Mahajrya Buddhist Tradition and was given the Dharma name of Shanti Bhum which means Peaceful Earth.
The Great Field
I was not seeking to learn meditation much less to become Buddhist, I however felt I was missing something. I had trained as a Life Coach focused on the effects of Childhood Conditioning so I understood the importance of healing emotional wounds. I was a healer and understood the importance of incorporating the non-physical component into the mix, but I had not figured out how to combine them until I was introduced to this wisdom.
I studied with Spiritual Teacher Maha Vajra and was ordained as an Acharya (High Priestess) in the Mahajrya (The Great Field) Buddhist Tradition. In this tradition, we are trained at using many techniques to develop our supernatural abilities and have a supernatural influence on nature. We use a Zen approach to help the mind shift its perception of the universe, and various practices to attain Samadhi or elevated consciousness.
The biggest benefit of consistent practice is how much your life can transform, but it requires time to work through all the conditioning. A class here and there is not cohesive, trying to go through this process alone can feel heavy.
Working with plant medicine I realized there was another tool that could help speed the healing, especially if the person finds it difficult to maintain a daily meditation practice but if not ready to take an intense dive within I created a meditation program so you can go from beginner to advance.
In my meditation training, I will be offering a variety of classes, courses all directed at helping you connect to your own wisdom so you can then live free of suffering.
Time to Soar to New Heights
So here I am in yet a new beginning. I’ve been through hell and back and then went there one more time just to make sure I had dealt with all my demons. I’ve walked patiently and other times not so patiently on this personal and spiritual transformational process. It has been difficult and it has been very rewarding. Consciously looking back…. No, I wouldn’t change any of it.
At the end of 2022 I learned about Vision Quest and just like when I met my meditation teacher or was called to work with the Ayahuasca plant, the Mountain was now calling me. So in April of 2023, I experienced that beautiful ceremony. My life changed again but this time after processing and facing all that the Sun showed me I feel…. complete, settled, and ready to move in the world from a whole new perspective, so much about me has changed, that I feel I myself am getting to know me for the first time – and that is a wonderful feeling to have.
Back in my hometown of El Paso, TX, I am ready to move in the world creating spaces where people will have the opportunity to start or continue their own personal transformation. I am feeling nervously excited about all the unknown events this experience will bring into my life.
So, my friend, I am ready to hold healing space and create a community that feels what we all think a family should feel like – a safe place to be.
The work has paid off. Like a phoenix, rising from the ashes, I am stronger than ever before. I have developed a mind full of yes towards ME! Now is time to help you arrive at your own Phoenix moment
First Ayahuasca Ceremony at Finca El Pendulo in Gudalajara, MEXICO
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. My intention is for you to get an idea of who I am and how I work and that is based on what I’ve experienced on my own healing journey.
Besides loving passionately teaching, leading ceremonies or offering a holistic session, I love to have fun. I’m a big sci fi, esoteric, fantasy movie lover. Love all things witchy – rituals, magic spells are right up my alley.
Fun and irreverent AF* I am aware I am not everyone’s cup of tea, that’s ok, I prefer coffee myself.
If my story and my services seem to be a fit for you, then don’t wait too long to connect and join on an online class or a ceremony.
