Susan Hirshberg is the only practitioner in Eastern Canada who is both a Certified CranioSacral Therapist and a Reiki Master Teacher. She also has a Masters of Science in Psychology/Animal Behaviour. She spent over a decade in the nonprofit world doing research and education on a series of public interest projects before retraining to become an alternative health practitioner. Susan is also keenly interested in community empowerment, permaculture and particularly, climate change. Working with the Rural Communities Foundation of Nova Scotia, Susan helped found the Joan Feynman Climate Change Fund which funds innovative, community driven projects throughout rural Nova Scotia. She is also the founder of Heart of the Tree Healing Centre, located in Ship Harbour, Nova Scotia. This new, nature-based facility is dedicated to fostering healing not only for individuals but also for communities and the planet as well. Susan is warm, accepting and down-to-earth. She takes the time to carefully listen to others to find those things that are most important to them and to understand what changes would make the greatest difference in their lives.
