Susan is deeply grateful to her teacher Jonni Pollard and the lineage she is a part of. It is one of the greatest honours of her life to be a Vedic Meditation teacher on the land of Ireland and throughout the world.
She is also thrilled to have released her debut album 'Into the sea' on April 23rd, 2021.
