Susan Austin, MA brings a lifetime of experience and knowledge in the movement arts to the creation of Movement Energetics: Integrated Body/Mind Practices where dance and qigong Intersect.

Susan's love of movement began as a figure skater and then dancer with in depth study of ballet, modern and jazz dance.  After receiving her Masters in Dance from UCLA she returned to her first love and began training and choreographing  for competitive, Olympic, and professional figure skaters.  For close to three decades she played an integral role in developing strong yet graceful physicality, artistry, performance skill and choreography. She has received awards and international recognition for her work and has choreographed and conducted workshops in China, Japan, Poland and throughout the United States.

In 2011 Susan was introduced to Donna Eden's Energy Medicine sparking a whole new passion and purpose for movement; the ability to tap into inner healing resources.  After dramatic healing results from a serious back injury and other 'life events', she began intensive studies in Qigong/Tai Chi, Energy Medicine, Reiki, Shamanic Healing, Acupressure and body/mind energetic practices.  

Susan founded Movement Energetics: Integrated Body/Mind Practices in 2014 with a mission to help and inspire others to find their healer within and to access simple yet effective tools for creating joy, vitality, health and well being.
