Susan Bookman is a shamanic and spiritual healer, ceremonialist, teacher, social development advocate who has lived and thrived in the Sacred Valley of Peru since 2005.
She embarked on her healing journey in 1982 when she began experiencing intense night visions and sleep paralysis episodes. This continued for over ten years and culminated in a series of involuntary kundalini awakenings that energetically and psychically brought her to her knees. After years of integration, it became clear that Susan possesses keen empathic, intuitive and healing abilities – traits that, had she not gone through what she did, may have never come into her awareness.
Susan’s journey to become a Clarity Breathwork Certified Practitioner has added depth, beauty and infinite possibilities to her work. Within the powerful context of the breath, all the important touchstones of her life – authenticity, transparency, divine truth and presence – permeate and penetrate her medicine offering as healer, teacher and spiritual guide. This in turn activates those same vibrational states in her sessions thereby enhancing the experience gained by all those involved in the work.
Her training and accolades in the healing and shamanic arts include:
• Advanced Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Practitioner. Ongoing since 2003.
• Hampicamayoq and Ayahuascera trained and authorized by Los Grandes y Sagrados Angeles Cordilleranos, Cusco, Peru. Ongoing since 2007.

“I have such gratitude to Susan for helping me find answers sleeping within me, answers that bring me peace and understanding when dealing with situations that appear to be difficult or dark. Breathwork is such a beautiful, non-invasive way to travel within, and with Susan’s kind, profound manner to guide, this work becomes even more productive and enchanting bringing forth all the magic that awakens through the Breath.”
~ Viviana Martinez, Urubamba, Cusco, Peru
“I would confidently recommend Clarity Breathwork and Susan Bookman…”
“Because of childhood issues with life force energy, I feel I have been working with blockages in my lower chakras for decades. In the Clarity Breathwork session facilitated by Susan, a part of me returned that had been trapped and had been very far away. The light in my eyes and my sparkle after the session, from this returned part of my soul, was powerful. There is no way to say how valuable this was for me because how do you quantify the return of your soul and life force to yourself, and the ways this supports our whole journey forward? The session was extremely deep and powerful and got me to places I had never accessed before. This was my first breath-work session. I would confidently recommend Clarity Breathwork and Susan Bookman to facilitate the return and integration of wholeness on all levels.”

“Susan brought a beauty and sacredness to her Clarity Breathwork that put me immediately at ease. She created a safe and reverent container with a ritual process through which our honesty and vulnerability easily emerged. From the place of openness, the breathing was an act of surrender to love and healing. During the breathwork, she attended to each person, enhancing our experience and facilitating the awakening of our true Selves. Deep gratitude for her skills and service.”

“I have had the utmost honor to have been able to experience a Breathwork session with Susan. She was a beautiful guide and facilitator as I journeyed with my breath into different levels of healing of body, mind and spirit. It was a powerful adventure to explore how profound this practice truly is and a deep understanding into the vital necessity of how generously the breath holds us in our day to day living. I learned so much from that session and am able to take the gifts of inspiration into my own daily breath practice at home. Thank you, Susan for your pristine Presence and facilitation!”
