Susan Bookman


About the Teacher

Why study with them?

Susan Bookman is a shamanic & spiritual healer, ceremonialist, teacher and social development advocate who has lived and thrived in the Sacred Valley of Peru since 2005.

Susan embarked on her healing journey in 1982 when she began experiencing intense night visions and sleep paralysis episodes. This continued for over ten years and culminated in a series of involuntary kundalini awakenings that energetically and psychically brought her to her knees. After years of integration, it became clear that Susan possesses keen empathic, intuitive and healing abilities - traits that, had she not gone through what she did, may have never come into her awareness.

Her training and accolades in the healing and shamanic arts include:

• Advanced Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Practitioner. Ongoing since 2003.
• Hampicamayoq & Ayahuascera, trained and authorized by Los Grandes y Sagrados Angeles Cordilleranos, Cusco, Peru. Ongoing since 2007.
• Certified Acknowledgement of Service by the Peru Ministry of Culture, Cusco Regional Office, through the Ministry’s Forum on Traditional Andean Medicine, for the preservation of Peru’s shamanic patrimony. October, 2012.
• Certified Clarity Breathwork Practitioner, professional training in the use of Breath to activate the subconscious mind in order to gain deep insight, release emotional baggage and dissolve old patterns of behavior and thought. February 2019.
• Oracle & Sound Healer, through the Oracle School & Community of Jennifer Posada in the areas of Self Love, Finding Your Gifts & Voice, Manifestation, Empowerment, Sacred and Interdimensional Communications. 2010-2012. (Additional training & study through the work of her step-father Tom Kenyon).
• Pranic Healing Practitioner, trained by the Institute for Inner Studies, founded by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, in Advanced Pranic Healing, Pranic Crystal Healing, Psychic Self-Defense, Pranic Psychotherapy, Kriyashakti and Achieving Oneness with the Higher Soul. 2009-2010.
• Holistic Color Counselor & Healer, Iris International School of Colour Therapy, 2009.
• Other related study, practice, experience and contemplation. Ongoing.

Susan also holds an Masters of Arts Degree in International Communications & Development from the American University School of International Service in Washington, DC and has significant experience in sustainable development particularly in insular economies and environments. In addition to Peru, she has lived, studied and worked in Europe, Asia, Africa and other parts of South America.

Great intuitive healer and medicine woman!
Thank you for the channeling session. I went through the audio and transcript and was amazed to the depth of the knowledge that you gave me. Your words were magic to me. Whatever you told me actually showed me the vision of who I am and who I’m going to be. Let’s say you talked that my lower back pain was related to female lineage. I could identify some of the events in my family on both of my parents, ladies suffering from the intolerable treatment of patriarchy society. I was not realized my pain was related to this and your channeling gave me the right direction to look for. I already feel the energy opening. Isn’t that wonderful? Thank you again for this amazing opportunity! (by the way, I love the first meditation that we as the beautiful orbs meet each other somewhere on the ocean!)

Gifted Teacher, Ceremonialist, and Medicine Carrier.
I have had the privilege of working with Susan, both in Peru this past year over a four day period when I traveled there with 3 other friends, as well as having several virtual sessions with her, before and after the trip to Peru.
Susan has a way of making what could otherwise, be difficult concepts or teachings, feel so much more attainable and easily understood. She is able to articulate so eloquently, deep, spiritual concepts, and weave them into beautiful "word tapestries".
The Amulet and Manifesto that I created while with her in Peru, are my most cherished possessions, and their medicine is a gift in my life every day.
I have enjoyed, and benefited greatly from Clarity Breathwork sessions with her as well, both in person in Peru and virtually. Truly profound and beautiful experiences!
Seeing Peru, and the Sacred Valley through her eyes was such an incredible experience. Her knowledge of the culture, traditions, the geography, and the deep medicine of that beautiful land are an exquisite delight to be in the presence of.
I hope to have the honor of working with her many times more, in various ways. Susan has incredible gifts to offer, and I feel that I have grown so much, spiritually, emotionally, and Shamanically as the result of her teachings.

Beyond grateful
There r no words that can describe my gratitude to Susan.

I came to her a completely lost city girl, emotionally devastated on 3 different types of meds; and left a completely transformed human being!
How she assisted me through my journey, going above and beyond, to emotionally, physically, and mentally be there for me every step of the way.
I not only leave with a treasure trove of knowledge, I also left knowing that I've gained a mentor and a soul sister.
I would trust her again with my life.

Gracias Gracias Gracias
I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet and work with such a talented and spiritually guided master: just one month ago I met her for the first time and yet I am forever changed thanks to Susan's dedication. She provides the appropriate framework on which to build one's journey, including visiting sacred sites, communing with ancestors in guided meditations, breathwork, music healing, all done in idyllic surroundings in the Sacred Valley. One's preparation for communing with Mother Ayahuasca takes place with the proper context to endorse a spiritual journey with deeply reverent intentions and respect for the ancestors that have graced us with this truly amazing medicine. Susan's commitment to her training as a shaman and plant medicine teacher are evident in everything that she does; she is a deeply caring individual with much passion for her vocation and everyone she touches are tremendously affected by her gifts. Gracias Gracias Gracias Maestra!

Breathwork and Inuitive Guidance
I want to share my gratitude for the breathwork healing experiences I have been having with Susan. Yesterday I had session #3 of 6 and just worth publicly noting how amazing she is at it. I bring my most intimate confusion and life stuck-ness and how I'm coping, and she just has this way of interpreting and re-framing my struggles into something I can work with and re-gain my confidence with. Thank you so much Susan for having done the work, for having a Mary Poppins deep bag of tools to help my mind and spirit inhabit being in this life, more light, hopeful, and free.
