I’ve been a preschool teacher for 15 years, a massage therapist for 12 years, and I’m a mom, step-mom, grandparent and certified parent coach.
I combine playful ideas with the science of relaxation, to create magic for parents. Let me tell you what I know and help you get your kids’ minds and bodies off to sleep.
Start with this 10 minute a day audio course for yourself, or buy it for a friend.
Create peaceful bedtime memories with this simple but powerful class.
Enjoy bedtime - help your kids fall asleep faster and sleep better.
In this course, learn a new mindfulness tool every day for 10 days!
Susanne shares how the body/mind relaxes and softens, readying itself for sleep, as you use these tools. Each skill is modeled for you, the parent, as a helpful self-care practice, and then adapted into a playful gentle game that can used at bedtime with you kids.
This course comes with a colorful workbook that includes these 10 peaceful games.

how it leads to easier transitions to sleep as well as better sleep
and how it can be fun and restorative for parents and children alike.

Custom -Made Meditation for your Child.
(They listen every night!)
See what other parents have said about them:
““The meditation that Susanne created for my son is amazing. He absolutely loves it and he cannot wait to hear it at bedtime. As a very active, constantly in motion 5 (nearly 6) year old it is lovely to watch his body relax as the meditation goes on." —Anita M
"My daughter age 4 had struggled with falling asleep--especially calming down and allowing herself to feel tired--practically from the moment she was born. It felt like my husband and I had tried everything several times over without finding anything that helped her. We wanted a non-pharmaceutical way to help her fall asleep, and one particularly challenging night, I installed a meditation app to have her try. I went through a few kids meditations before finding Susanne's. My daughter immediately loved it, and calmed down herself. When the 6-minute meditation started, she was bouncing off the walls awake. After one play, she was lying still and calm, and she asked to listen again. After the second play, she was asleep. Nothing has ever worked like that before, especially in under 15 minutes." Elizabeth M
