Hi, I’m Suzi.
Owner of Mindful Movement. My studio is located in a beautiful, wooded northern suburb of Chicago with walking paths that lead to Lake Michigan.
I am a Sensory Movement Specialist, a highly sought after national and international practitioner, teacher, educator, coach, mentor, presenter and creative force. For more than 20 years I have worked with babies, children and adults with neurological challenges, providing unimagined futures and boundless possibilities. Yes, together we can open renewed hopes and dreaming.
I offer coaching for parents that invites better family dynamics, well being and open communication. I also have an incredible referral network of leading experts in the fields of visual processing and brain mapping, auditory processing, reflex integration, pediatric speech-language, including pre-speech and feeding disorders, nature therapy, craniosacral therapy and life coaching.
It’s my mission and passion to help those with neurological challenges to discover their full potential and gain hope and a renewed belief in themselfs or their children. I create the conditions for learning to take place and help expand an individual's perception of themself and the world around them.
I am a lover of movement in all its expressions. I know that my absolute belief in our ability to learn and grow, paired with my wonder, insatiable curiosity and sensitivity assures that the partnership between us and/or your child will be highly beneficial.
Perhaps it is my love of asking questions, without seeking final answers, that enables me to work so effectively with the brain. Or maybe it's my ability to listen between words, feel between movements or become the felt-sense of my clients that allows for their incredible evolution as well as that of their families/teams.
Yes, I love nurturing growth and flourishing as well as celebrating the beauty of our individuality. No surprise, perhaps, that I began my professional career in horticulture.
Testimonials
I have a daughter with complex needs and every time my daughter receives lessons from Suzi, I see remarkable changes within her as well as her ability to grow and learn. Suzi’s ability to connect with my daughter is powerful and beautiful to witness. She has an exceptional way of being with and teaching those around her.

My daughter had so many positive changes after working with Suzi. She has much more confidence in standing and walking, two challenges for her. I can mark her intensive with Suzi as the beginning of more independence in her life. There was such a patience and understanding that Suzi had with her on the table and all interactions in between. Moreover, Suzi quickly understood the family dynamic and how my daughter fit into it. She really sees the whole person in her sessions. We, as a family, are so grateful!
– C.M.
In a mentoring phone call with Suzi, we talked about the video I had sent to her of a baby, and she was able to bring me along with what she was seeing in it, opening my eyes to areas I had never thought of connecting. When I followed her guidance and suggestions, the changes the baby made after our next lesson were nothing short of miraculous!
