About: Susan Barker- Clinical Hypnotist

Susan holds a degree in nursing from the University of Ottawa; is a certified hypnotherapist and member in good standing with the National Guild of Hypnotists; is a Certified Laughter Leader, a Graduate Coach through CoachU, and an insatiable autodidact. Susan spent a previous incarnation working in the field of learning disabilities in adults. In that position she saw the devastation done to life by emotional, spiritual, and psychological distress. She now combines her scientific medical understanding of health with her profound ability to see through bogus (but supposedly sound) research findings and her passion for joy and spirituality to offer holistic, non-invasive options to support wellness. Healing is possible to wounded souls.
