“If You Truly Love Nature, You Will Find Beauty Everywhere” -Vincent VanGogh

Healing and self-development are not meant to happen in isolation. Suzanne founded Move With Mountains to create spaces where individuals and communities can explore emotions safely and collaboratively. Move With Mountains work integrates evidence-based expressive therapies, taking the therapy experience into nature and the local community and includes specializations of Dance/Movement Therapy, Art and Expressive Arts, Play Therapy, relational approaches, and mindfulness-based practices.

The name Move With Mountains reflects a core belief: stress, pain, worry, anger, and sadness are inherent parts of being human. When we avoid or deny these experiences, we may begin to mistrust our internal world. When we learn to move with them, rather than against them, we cultivate resilience, self-trust, and healthy boundaries. The inclusion of nature reflects community, connection and the healing that nature, either environmental nature or the integral nature of our individual beings, provides to us.

Moving with becomes a relational practice — with ourselves and with others. It supports flexibility, creativity, and deeper interpersonal connection. From this foundation, meaningful community can take shape.

Welcome to a space for holistic healing — where the body is honored first, and spirit and mind are integrated in the process of growth.
