This week’s Radical Embodiment podcast brings you my teacher, mentor, colleague, office mate & friend, Suzanne Picard. One of the last things Suzanne shares is an offering for anyone who wants to make the daily choice to be more embodied, do anything that helps ‘your velocity to settle’; inviting your velocity to settle, slowing down, connecting within. 

In the interview, Suzanne shares a bit on her life journey, sharing her experience as a mom of two and now as a postmenopausal woman. Embodiment is a practice, some folks find it easier to connect ‘skin in’ = interoception, closing your eyes and connecting within, what sensations are coming from my whole system? Some folks find it easier to connect ‘skin out’ = exteroception, eyes open and looking out. There is no wrong or right way.

Listen to the interview for plenty of golden nuggets. 

Suzanne is a Certified Advanced Rolfer and Rolfing Movement Therapist, in practice since 1992. Over the past 30 years she has deepened her studies with several styles of movement modalities, cranial sacral therapies and osteopathic inspired trainings in the nuero, vascular and visceral systems. She is a practicing visual artist with an MFA in sculpture. Suzanne cultivates the technical and the art of her manual therapy.
