Movement Medicine® Founder

Meet Susannah

In this video, Susannah explores the question: "Why is Movement Medicine?" She talks about awakening the physical and simultaneously spiritual experience of being fully alive and how movement is a path for reconnecting with ourselves, with each other, with the natural world and the spirit of life itself.
Get Started

Co-Founder of Movement Medicine

Susannah's life is dedicated to a world where beauty and compassion flourish. While navigating medical school, psychotherapy training & organic farming the transformative power of connecting body, heart and mind came to the foreground.

She has been teaching movement as since 1989, since dance emerged as the soulful pathway to share her love of life. Her background: Anthropology, Gestalt Psychotherapy, an 18 year apprenticeship with Gabrielle Roth (founder of 5 Rhythms) and Family Constellations.

Her work reflects her profound yet practical approach to human transformation and evolution.

A soulful Pathway

Susannah runs the School of Movement Medicine together with husband and co-founder Ya'Acov Darling Khan.

She is committed to making the healing power, depth and subtlety of Movement Medicine accessible to people worldwide, including via: the Movement Medicine Study Hub, online courses, 'in person' teaching, plus, along with Ya'Acov, deep professional Movement Medicine training.

Her Exmoor ponies are mirror masters. With them, she is learning about the co-creative power of synergy which becomes possible when truly respectful communication is established.

Movement Medicine Woman

Susannah brings a grounded presence of warmth, gentleness and safety alongside an unwavering commitment to clarity and visionary depth. Her unique magic lies in her acute sensitivity to what is present, skilfully following the trail towards what becomes possible. Susannah is acclaimed for her clarity, integrity, warmth, humour and visionary weaving of scientific, psychotherapeutic, shamanic and systemic paradigms.

She is recognised by indigenous Achuar and Sapara elders as a shamanic healer.
