About Remedy Woman

My story.

I am Susan and I live in the Yukon. I want to help you connect with the land, and yourself, and heal your physiology because doing these things will help you rejuvenate and feel better.

I have been on my healing journey for almost 30 years. I am from an academic family where high achievement and ignoring my inner being were the values. I excelled up to doing my MA in History and also rowed at a high level (which includied losing 28lb to row lightweight and win the British National Championships at age 27, after having competed on the Canadian Junior and Senior B/Under 23 National teams, thus adding eating and weight issues to my areas of intensity!!).

Soon I struggled with burn out and relationship problems. It took me many years and, quite frankly, much unnecessary misery before I linked my unprocessed early childhood trauma (due to family multiple family bereavements and our family culture) and my dysfunctional patterns. 

Gradually I got better, learning about intergenerational trauma. Even though it was in many ways heroic, I inherited my father’s and generations of veteran trauma and British settler blind spots that separate me from my embodied self. 

For 4 years I have studied Somatic Experiencing and now feel that this approach to nervous system healing explains so much!! I recognize I grew up in a state of nervous system freeze, interspersed with shutdown and collapse. I am only learning to live fully within my actual capacity!! 

I am keen to share this with people I work with. Once we let go of our blocks we engage more healthily and productively with the world around us.

Working in the arts in England and then moving to Yukon to raise my family, I see the world as an artist as well as a healer. This art sense, along with my growing awareness of my interrelatedness with all things due to nervous system healing, working in a high school and learning about Yukon First Nations culture, is now inextricably bound up with caring for the environment. The beauty of the southern Yukon speaks so powerfully to me. Making the oracle cards links my heritage of art from my family and time in London England, to living here in the glorious richness of nature, full of meaning and synchronicities.
