Susanne Neubauer is a somatic coach, animal advocate, mindfulness trainer and art mediator.
She has worked for many years as a curator, scientist and lecturer with artists and has immersed herself deeply in the subject of artistic thinking. As an author, she has written numerous books and articles which in recent years have increasingly focussed on the image of man and the relationship between man and the ‘other’. As a body therapist for animals, she has learnt about the world of the ‘other’ in practice. These experiences are the basis for her work with people today.
My Story
"I often felt alone in a world that, in my eyes, showed little understanding for the concerns of others. As a sensitive soul, I learnt early on to keep my feelings to myself, which reinforced the feeling of isolation. I learnt strategies to succeed through performance and conformity. I completed an apprenticeship and later studied art and art history and then a doctorate. I liked this field because most of the artists I worked with were such sensitive beings themselves. But then, at the age of thirty, my body rebelled for the first time, a switch flipped within a second and I suffered from panic attacks and a burn-out. I worked for five years to feel reasonably well again. I only realised the essence of this many years later.
For many years, I worked in an art environment that I perceived as egotistical and where people put obstacles in each other's way by making judgements. As a highly sensitive woman, I didn't realise for a long time why I was often tired because I couldn't yet consciously perceive the subtle manipulation of people, but only after a while and with the help of people who told me about it. When I realised this, also through my intensive care of my father who had cancer, I set out on my journey.
I have
-
stopped wanting to be in a system where values prevail that don't suit me
-
stopped looking for a job where I have to play a game that makes me sick
-
actively decided to have a being by my side from whom I can learn about the meaning of life, my dog Polly
-
realise that I want to live my life and that I no longer want to do without so many fun things
-
training in naturopathy, shiatsu, mindfulness and animal communication
-
volunteered as a therapist for horses and am now an important companion in the life of a former highly traumatized racehorse
-
founded and steadily expanded my own business in small steps
-
recognised my own existing wisdom and used it as a therapist and coach to help others find their way to deep connection with themselves and others
-
qualified as an ICF-accredited coach to help others find their authentic self and learn about the organic intelligence of their own body
I have left behind the many years of living without the awareness of my body. Today I have a clear philosophy and practice of how I bind myself and how I see the world, nature and the wisdom of animals, and what we as humans can learn again today so urgently and far from any media distraction.'
