Who am I?
Holistic Online Therapy for Digital Nomads, Camino Travelers & Yogis
Feeling Stuck? Searching for More Balance & Meaning?
Hi, I’m Susan—a nomadic psychologist, breathwork facilitator, mindfulness and yoga teacher. For the past decade, I’ve been living a location-independent lifestyle, enjoy doing things in nature like yoga, hiking the Camino de Santiago, vanlife, surfing and rock climbing. I work with digital nomads, remote workers, and travelers seeking mental clarity, emotional balance, and personal growth.
As a nomad myself, I understand the unique challenges of this lifestyle:
✅ The highs of freedom & adventure—but also the loneliness & uncertainty
✅ The pressure to stay productive while navigating new cultures & time zones
✅ The search for deeper purpose beyond work & travel

YOGA, MINDFULNESS, BODY- AND ENERGYWORK
I practice and have been focused on energetic & somatic healing methods
Learn more how you can benefit from Yoga, Mindfulness and Reiki. This possible if you come to Finisterre / Fisterra in Spain. I offer classes at the beaches and indoor in Finisterre.
Yoga and Mindfulness
As a certified yoga teacher I offer yoga classes (Himalayan kriya, Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga and Ashtanga vinyasa). The focus of my teaching lies in calming body & mind, so that we can cope better with life's daily challenges and experience more happiness in the form of peace and consequently improve the relationship we have with ourselves and with the people around us.
Learning to meditate and maintaining a moment-to-moment awareness of your thoughts, feelings and emotions are the main aspects of practicing mindfulness. As a certified mindfulness teacher I can guide you to be more in the present in your life. I offer classes at the beach in Finisterre and also integrate mindfulness as a psychologist. I am planning a few walking retreats in which I combine yoga, mindfulness & walking on the camino. Please let me know if you have interest.
Reiki, Body- and Energywork
As a reiki master, I give reiki healings. This is a hands on technic that uses universal life energy that's why it is called energywork. However it works on body, mind and soul levels. I also offer level 1 and 2 reiki courses, each 2 days in Fisterra. Get in touch with me for course dates and possibilities.
In my holistic approach I like to involve the body as well. That's why I use tension release therapy as a body focused technic when stress en trauma is present. Trauma is an unfinished impression from the past. When the body has not been able to complete the fight/flight/freeze response the impression of the event can get stuck in your body and cause all sorts of mental and physical problems. With this tremor inducing therapy you will be more able to assess what is happening in the here and now: Am I safe or is there a real threat? Instead of going strait into a survival state. This helps to enjoy the here and now in a state of relaxation.
I also studied conscious connected breathwork as a method of healing and emotional release. One other method I like to work with for relaxation of the body and mind is Thai yoga massage. This is an ancient healing system combining acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. I studied Thai yoga massage at the Sunshine massage school in Chiang mai, Thailand
