Welcome to my page! I'm so glad you are here. I'm Sue, and I bring 38 years of formal mindfulness training, and dedicated community, advocacy and clinical service in neurodivergent communities to my work.  I hope you find something helpful here.  

My passion is making mindfulness accessible and available in our neurodiversity communities, as well as for caregivers, who we know also struggle with access to the right supports.

I am committed to using a human rights and accessibility-focused lens in my work.

Have a look through the site for my offerings and hopefully there are some connections for you.

Dual Anchor Sensory Meditation Vision & Breath

This neurodiversity-informed guided meditation helps us increase focus by concentrating on two sense objects (anchors for our attention) at the same time: vision and breath. We focus on an external, or exteroceptive anchor (vision) and an internal or interoceptive anchor (feelings of the breath) together. By using our senses to fully engage in the present moment, we are wiring our brains toward better mental health. Neuroscientist Norman Farb and Zindel Segal have been exploring the benefits to the brain and our well-being by concentrating on the senses available to us. I like the term they use, which describes these practices well: sense foraging. To make this further accessible for neurodivergent minds, I offer combining the interoceptive and exteroceptive senses at once. Many meditators with ADHD who participate in groups I lead benefit from having this dual focus. Trauma professionals also use a dual awareness to help bring people into the present moment by noting what is in the here and now, right in front ot us. Vision and breath are two senses that we are able to automate. We can deepen breath, and sharpen or soften our gaze with our vision. If these senses are available to you, I suggest trying this for brief moments through the day, in a way that works for you. Soften the gaze, take note of new things you may not have noticed before with your sight. Get curious and really engage in the sense of vision, and take note of what it feels like to breathe at the same time. Be gentle and compassionate with yourself. A deep sense of acceptance is at the heart of all the mindfulness work we do.
