Susan Ulfelder, ND, LMT, BCPP, RDH
Susan is a traditional naturopath and a hands-on-healer. She began her professional life as a Registered Dental Hygienist. From the defined area of the mouth, she quickly expanded her scope of awareness to include the entire body through completing the didactic portion of a Ph.D. in Nutrition.
From the body, her attention moved into the individual energy field. Starting out as a Touch for Health instructor, she became a Registered Polarity Practitioner and is a graduate and former Junior Class Teacher (now called Dean) at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. Over the past 30 years, she has added many healing modalities to her repertoire, including Flower Essences, Essential Oils, Tuning Forks, Kabbalistic Healing, Jin Shin Jyutsu, and Family Constellations.
Susan earned a Doctor of Naturopathy degree from Clayton College of Natural Healing and a Doctor of Integrative Medicine degree from Capital University of Integrative Medicine where she became the chair of the Department of Energy and Spiritual Healing. While studying at CUIM, she became exposed to the work of Bert Hellinger. It was then that she further expanded her awareness from an emphasis on the individual energy field to the family energy field. From that day on she began to think and work systemically.
