Other Opportunities to Learn & Work with Sarah Sue
~ 1:1 or Private Groups ~
Herbal Medicine
All ages and abilities are welcome, and the experience can be tailored to suit any level of knowledge or interest. Step outside, connect with nature, and learn from a seasoned guide who truly loves the plants and their supportive gifts.
Sarah Sue offers unique Herbal Education Walks, outings, and experiences in the field—whether in the forest, on a trail, or in your own backyard. She finds great joy in teaching plant education outside of the traditional classroom setting, introducing you to the natural world, and sharing her passion for plants.
These herbal education outings include:
• Plant Identification: Learn the basics of identifying local plants.
• Herbal Education: Discover the supportive properties of plants and their uses.
• Sustainable Wildcrafting: Understand sustainable harvesting practices to protect nature’s resources.
• Herbal Preparation Making: Learn how to process and make plant-based herbal preparations.
• Energetic Qualities: Explore the energetics of plants and connect deeply with their supportive qualities.
• Storytelling & Connection: Learn the stories and folklore behind plant allies, and foster a deeper connection with the land.
Sarah Sue has led herb walks for over 10 years, guiding individuals and groups of all levels to connect with their plant neighbors and develop a profound relationship with nature. Whether in the hills or your own backyard, private 1:1 or group herbal walks can be scheduled.
Somatic Movement, Embodiment, & Dance
Emotions, memories, and past events are often stored in the body—manifesting in physical tension, trauma, or emotional blockages. Somatic Movement, embodiment, and dance therapy provide powerful tools for releasing what no longer serves you. Sarah Sue integrates these methods, along with energy work, qigong, family constellations, soul work, and mind-body practices, to help release stored emotions and promote wellness.
Emotion, from the Latin "to move," was never meant to remain trapped in the body. When emotions are stuck, the body carries them. Returning to the body is a profound act of healing. Somatic practices help you move intentionally, using creativity, expression, and play to release old patterns, reconnect with your body’s wisdom, and embrace a renewed sense of vitality.
Sessions typically begin with intention setting, followed by grounding, a guided warm-up, and a somatic release and dance practice. Dance is not just performance; it is art, ritual, prayer, and a tool for healing and empowerment.
Each session is a celebration of the body as a sacred temple, fostering deeper connection to self and spirit through movement.

Testimonials
Dancing Into Healing with Sarah Sue - No prior experience is needed—only a willingness to move your body freely, without expectation. Sarah Sue gently guides you on a grounding and healing journey through music and dance. While often held in natural settings, her work is equally powerful indoors. Through her dance journeys, she helps you connect deeply with your inner being, reclaim your power, and release what no longer serves you. The experience is meditative, relaxing, and energizing all at once.
If you are fortunate enough to dance with Sarah Sue, I wholeheartedly recommend it. You will not be disappointed—and most likely, you’ll find yourself craving more.

Journey Through the Chakras
What IS a chakra?
Chakras, in general, are areas in our bodies ~ energetic bodies ~ where there is an accumulation of energy and activity. The word chakra translates to “wheels” or “discs” of light, energy & movement, in Sanskrit. When these energies are blocked, congested, deficient, it can impact physical parts of that area, and symptoms can manifest. Interestingly, when I reflect on my studies in medical school, experience & observation in the clinical setting & past teaching of anatomy classes, I have found that there are very important, significant anatomical features located at each chakra location - nerve bundles, organs, glands, vessels, plexi, etc. These anatomical features’ functions inevitably correspond to the themes of the chakra located at the same location.
Energy influences the physical. Call it “chakra”, “qi”, “prana” or simply, the electromagnetic frequency of the body. I have found the chakra system to be a highly intelligent framework to guide my understanding of the human body, health, and manifestation of symptoms & dis~ease, when the flow of energy is misaligned or blocked. There is then the opportunity to work with and move this energy.
We are more than tissues, organs & cells… and symptoms are more than a nagging thing to get rid of… it is our body’s way of communicating with us important messages for us to hear & receive. The chakra system is a wise and powerful way to translate these messages.
Besides anatomy & location, chakras have corresponding themes, elements (ex. earth, fire), colors, senses, energies, sounds, mantras, & more. This offering blends together the lessons & medicines of the chakras to help facilitate and assist in the nourishing & balancing of the chakras - lifestyle, behavior, intention, ritual, meditation, & practices in order to strengthen & balance the chakras. Included are uniquely formulated chakra herbal blends and channeled herbal allies for each chakra.
I honor the original lineage bearers of the chakra systems, including the Ayurvedic and Hindu traditions from India. I also honor the more modern teachers of the chakras including Anodea Judith.
I will guide and facilitate you and your journey through each chakra, in a grounded, accessible, supportive, and enlightening way. Each chakra will have a dedicated amount of time for exploration, balancing, and aligning.
Testimonial from a prior student of “Journey through the Chakras” series
“I would highly recommend any course offered by Dr. Sarah Sue. She teaches these courses because she has a love for these subjects and wants to share the knowledge with anyone who is open to it. I love her teaching style and how she approaches natural healing. She is rooted in science and practicality, while also bringing magic and spirit to the topic.
Her Journey Through The Chakras course really was a journey for me to get more in touch with myself and the world around me. And the learning did not stop at the end of the course, the knowledge she gave us was a key to open a door.
The world is a difficult place to reside in right now, there is much suffering that is purposely inflicted so the “powers that be” can keep that power. Many people side with the ruling class because they are not in touch with themselves and the energies of the universe and the world around them. Learning about yourself makes you a more empathetic person, and when you are more empathetic you are able to go out into the world and embrace your fellow human with understanding instead of judgment. The world could always use more of that. One kind gesture towards a stranger causes a ripple effect, eventually ripples can become waves or even a hurricane. Positive change is possible, and it begins within.”
