I have taken group yoga classes, group meditation classes, and one-on-one meditation, movement, and breathwork classes with Suse and she truly makes every experience a memorable one. Her classes are inclusive and flexible, as she adapts her class to her clients’ needs and level of experience. Suse creates a comfortable, open, and safe environment that allows you to become grounded while exploring your inner world. She puts her clients first and is always willing to have a one-on-one conversation after class to discuss any concerns or provide guidance for how you can bring mindfulness into your daily life. Suse truly has a heart like no other, and it shines through during all of her classes. There is no one I trust more to explore my inner world with.” — JULIA HAMILTON https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/b2c82eab-f0e6-4e6b-bd38-a63fe9968c13/e49ce41c-e66c-468f-822c-59010e73cf84.jpeg Somatic Breathwork | Soul Journey | Consciousness Expansion | Trauma Resolution - “Suse has a very grounded, heart-centered energy and presence.

I had been experiencing a pretty intense low going into it and was struggling. This session was the gateway to shift me back to myself. Suse and Sam are so knowledgeable and I felt so supported. The experience allowed me to connect to my inner knowing, gave me the opportunity to acknowledge and release pain safely and was simply transformative. A week after the experience I am still feeling the ripple effects.

Together, we’ll tend to the roots, not just the symptoms, so you can feel grounded, empowered, trusting and deeply at home in yourself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/d9e3aee3-712a-4af2-829e-087ab3b35aac/Suse+2025-162.jpg Mental Health Support | No More Mind Games | Peer Support Over the past 15 years, I’ve immersed myself in the healing arts, studying somatics, trauma, the nervous system, eastern healing approaches, wisdom traditions, mysticism and shamanic practices. I devoted myself to understanding the deeper layers and history of mental health: not just what’s wrong, but what’s needed. I’ve developed a trauma-informed, spiritually grounded, body-based approach to mental wellbeing. It’s this integrative, compassionate work that changed my life, and now supports the transformation of my clients. I offer a unique path to healing that honours the whole person: body, mind, heart and soul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/6b07db03-2f74-4137-9539-316cd421281a/IMG_8199.jpeg Mental Health Support | No More Mind Games | Peer Support - It can be frustrating not knowing where to go, or the kind of mental health or spiritual support you need after experiencing anything that feels out of the “norm.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/90996658-9666-429d-87cd-f1fe0edf5a8a/IMG_0662.jpg Mental Health Support | No More Mind Games | Peer Support - “Suse’s expertise helped me process very difficult experiences with the mental healthcare system in Ontario. She advanced my healing journey more than the psychologists and psychiatrists that I have had to work with. She really knows how to heal post traumatic stress disorder with her kindness, love, and support. She made me feel safe enough to begin to open up and grow. I have the utmost respect for her healing work. I highly recommend her No More Mind Games program.” — ANGELA R. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/709c50dd-c112-4e1c-b8a7-d920c93c6860/Suse+2025-71.jpg Mental Health Support | No More Mind Games | Peer Support - Healing happens through the body, from the bottom-up. Instead of focusing only on the mind, like traditional talk therapy, we work with the body to access deeper layers of healing: Soul & Spiritual Level: By clearing trauma and karmic imprints stored in the body and nervous system. Emotional Level: By tuning into the messages of the energetic heart and processing emotions somatically. Physical Level: By using intentional movements and breath to release and restore balance. This body-first (bottom-up) approach helps you heal from the inside out, gently, deeply, and holistically. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/aad6277f-a888-4d46-ad9b-0a676dbee506/IMG_0717.jpg Mental Health Support | No More Mind Games | Peer Support “As happens in adulthood I was facing a variety of issues at the time including friends and family members with cancer, a breakup, and coming out “late” in life and associated feelings of hiding. I had been in talk therapy for about 10 months and had recently canceled it because - tho I very highly valued it - I had hit a wall. We were talking in circles. My therapist got me to the point where I could face unpacking my repressed memories but I couldn’t get them to release. I needed something different, and I asked the Universe for a new teacher. That’s when I met Suse and it had to have been divine timing. The program, having specific prompts each week to consider, allowed me take a second pass at many things I had already considered but the accompanying embodiment and breathwork was new. And it’s what helped me break thru my wall. Suse has been an excellent guide and companion on my inward journey. I will be forever grateful for her support, her insight, her joyful presence in my life at just the right moment, teaching me just the right things to give me the courage to continue to move forward. Suse’s intuition and heartfelt kindness created a soothing environment and I always felt safe and held with her. The twelve weeks I spent working with Suse were an investment in myself that I will forever be grateful for and proud of. There was no one else that could have fulfilled my needs in a better way. Suse, I appreciate you more than I could express with words. Your presence and guidance is imprinted on my heart.” — MEL CHATTEN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/cf3c2bd9-d2a6-49da-a5b9-31009c597665/IMG_0312.jpg Mental Health Support | No More Mind Games | Peer Support - “No more mind games - was a deeply transformative program. Suse’s guidance and consistency was the framework for the magic to unfold. Each week our sessions were on time and full of potent reflections, exercises and explanations of homework for the next session. The Tao blessings Suse incorporates are really potent and well received. I have found that the tools provided and exercises we did were easily integrated into my daily life. The shifts in my thoughts, emotions and behaviours are permanent and liberating. I highly encourage anyone seeking a compassionate, loving and wise guide to contact Suse today, and take the worthwhile step forward for yourself and those around you. Thank you Suse” — STEPHANIE ATTARD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/ef8d9258-d894-4285-96b8-2e63ebeb2319/8552A21A-E3A7-434D-BF5D-6D6C43053249.jpeg Mental Health Support | No More Mind Games | Peer Support - “I began No More Mind Games at a stage of my life where I was emotionally and physically unhealthy. It was a slow build up of life experiences culminating into an early sixties woman I was having trouble recognizing. To put it succinctly, I had lost the plot of my own life. Suses 12 week program has been a wow. From my very first session with Suse I knew I was in safe hands. The 12 week program she has built herself has a very unique flow. Each week seems to build upon the last so organically, with tough weeks followed by a week of lightness and freshness. With Suses wealth of knowledge and wellness tools she somehow helped a somewhat muddled and spiritually broken woman onto a great ride to recovery. Key take aways for me are; + Grief counselling + Trauma counselling + Support for addiction…I quit smoking! + Coping with anxiety and depression + Healing old relationship wounds + I learned so many new coping skills I use now in everyday life. I will be continuing sessions with Suse. My door has just been opened and I know the possibilities are endless now for a healthier life. It seems every few days I am having simple breakthroughs in thought that have come from the layering of the program. I tell everyone Suse is the real deal!” — CINDY LORUSSO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/9b129929-119e-4580-92e3-d88558ce28d7/Suse+2025-132.jpg Mental Health Support | No More Mind Games | Peer Support - Imagine feeling good about being you with confidence, self-acceptance, and compassion towards yourself.

I feel I have a variety of tools and strategies to use to continue my journey of personal growth. Suse taught me with her intuition and adapted the teachings to what she felt I needed in the moment. Her voice was so calming and powerful as she lead me through the breathwork, visualizations, healing words and movements. Thank you Suse, for the wonderful treasures throughout this course that you gave with your full heart. I am eternally grateful” — PRABHJOT SIDHU https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/1682963580549-6I2CKKZ21VOH37ZWSU99/unsplash-image-Nnv5Gb8z6OI.jpg Mental Health Support | No More Mind Games | Peer Support - “Suse’s “No more mind games” 3-month program is almost indescribable until you go through it yourself, but since I’m writing a testimonial I’m going to describe what it meant to me. The program was nourishing for the soul both emotionally and spiritually, as Suse helps you ground in your own beliefs and truths while letting go of the outside noise. In addition, Suse also gives you tangible tools to assist in helping with the external noise and/or negativity when it surfaces. The experience will probably mean different things to different people as there are so many good nuggets of soul work and emotional exploration, but for me the overall experience left me with a firm grasp & trust in myself, my abilities and that I deserve to show up as am.” — ANGELA MAGILL https://www.susesilva.com/contact-holistic-mental-health-support daily 0.75 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/e7ce5176-f10e-400d-a6f5-de14856528a0/Suse+2025-18.jpg Contact | Holistic Mental Health Support | Alternative Mental Health - Let’s Meet!

The people I work with arrive at a threshold moment: after a mental health crisis or diagnosis, the loss of a loved one, a breakup, a major transition, or a deep inner knowing that life can’t continue as it has. They’re ready to stop merely coping and begin reclaiming their power, restoring their nervous system, and move forward with clarity, compassion, and purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/7aefbd79-b2f5-45d6-8e29-c59ad48a9058/Suse+2025-181.jpg About Suse Silva | Holistic Therapy Cobourg | Mentor and Life Coach I am a first-generation immigrant of Azorean Portuguese descent, living on the unceded and treaty lands of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Nations, collectively known as the Williams Treaties First Nations: Curve Lake, Hiawatha, Alderville, Scugog Island, Rama, Beausoleil, and Georgina Island First Nations, in what is now called Baltimore, Ontario.

I went seeking understanding, support and care but instead I was locked up in a hospital for seven days, forced medications and received nothing more than a ‘diagnosis’ and a prescription. I was left to figure out what had happened to me on my own. It quickly became clear that true healing required more than medication and symptom management. This sparked my curiosity to look outside of the western biomedical model (that had failed me) and explore alternative methods which led me to Yoga, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Wisdom Traditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/33450491-69c7-4f88-a21e-b50aa5b7b60c/F09F891E-E294-4529-A145-A136192EF26A.jpg About Suse Silva | Holistic Therapy Cobourg | Mentor and Life Coach - “I finally felt 100% completely in tune with my body.

It was a slow build up of life experiences culminating into an early sixties woman I was having trouble recognizing. To put it succinctly, I had lost the plot of my own life. Suse’s 12 week program No More Mind Games has been a wow. From my very first session with Suse I knew I was in safe hands. The 12 week program she has built herself has a very unique flow. Each week seems to build upon the last so organically, with tough weeks followed by a week of lightness and freshness. With Suse’s wealth of knowledge and wellness tools she somehow helped a somewhat muddled and spiritually broken woman onto a great ride to recovery. Key take aways for me are; + Grief counselling + Trauma counselling + Support for addiction…I quit smoking! + Coping with anxiety and depression + Healing old relationship wounds + I learned so many new coping skills I use now in everyday life. I will be continuing sessions with Suse. My door has just been opened and I know the possibilities are endless now for a healthier life. It seems every few days I am having simple breakthroughs in thought that have come from the layering of the program. I tell everyone Suse is the real deal!” — CINDY LORUSSO. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/9902ee74-ca7a-4788-86d8-41d80ca92b1a/IMG_3807.jpeg Testimonials | Healing Mental Health Holistically - Suse is an amazing teacher with a soulful presence and an engaging nature I have taken group yoga classes, group meditation classes, and one-on-one meditation, movement, and breathwork classes with Suse and she truly makes every experience a memorable one. Her classes are inclusive and flexible, as she adapts her class to her clients’ needs and level of experience. Suse creates a comfortable, open, and safe environment that allows you to become grounded while exploring your inner world. She puts her clients first and is always willing to have a one-on-one conversation after class to discuss any concerns or provide guidance for how you can bring mindfulness into your daily life. Suse truly has a heart like no other, and it shines through during all of her classes. There is no one I trust more to explore my inner world with.

It’s such a pleasure to end our weeks with one of her classes to stretch out and connect to our bodies. It really is the perfect way to wrap up the week and start the weekend.There are many things that I appreciate about Suse and her classes - her warm and caring approach, the variety of yoga flows (every class is different), and of course her deep knowledge about the body and breath work. I also had the pleasure to attend her Farewell 2022 workshop where she incorporated journal reflections, movement, somatic breath work, and a wicked play list. I can’t recommend Suse and her classes/workshops enough. She’s a gift, especially in these ever-changing times.” — ANDREA JOHNSON https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/d985cee5-3448-4dfc-967a-ed1b3a55e0c3/IMG_3069.jpeg Testimonials | Healing Mental Health Holistically - Suse is amazing soul, so sweet, gentle and with a beautiful opened heart, and at the same time powerful and grounded!!

I quickly began implementing these techniques and have already noticed that I've become more discerning with my own thoughts, and can hold space more compassionately for others as they navigate their own spurts of negative-self talk now knowing how deeply these thought patterns can run- which can be altered with awareness, courage (this stuff is deep!!), kindness and consistency! Thank you x3 Suse. — Candace https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/cf3c2bd9-d2a6-49da-a5b9-31009c597665/IMG_0312.jpg Testimonials | Healing Mental Health Holistically - “No more mind games” was a deeply transformative program. Suse’s guidance and consistency was the framework for the magic to unfold. Each week our sessions were on time and full of potent reflections, exercises and explanations of homework for the next session. The Tao blessings Suse incorporates are really potent and well received. I have found that the tools provided and exercises we did were easily integrated into my daily life. The shifts in my thoughts, emotions and behaviours are permanent and liberating. I highly encourage anyone seeking a compassionate, loving and wise guide to contact Suse today, and take the worthwhile step forward for yourself and those around you.

When out of balance, illness or discomfort occurs. Sound therapy recalibrates these frequencies, promoting energetic equilibrium. + Cleansing blocked energy: Certain sound frequencies help clear energetic blockages, restoring the flow of life force energy (also called prana or qi) throughout the body. This balance can lead to improved overall health, emotional release, and spiritual connection. https://www.susesilva.com/the-best-alternative-to-talk-therapy daily 0.75 2024-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/267a0048-760c-4825-bce0-f63a315c887f/bf6f2983-6d61-4a89-9316-f6d50d97d53b.jpg The Best Alternative To Talk Therapy | Cobourg | Holistic Healing | Port Hope - The best Alternative to talk therapy This is what makes me different from your therapist: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3bfbbc8b460662207a98ec/1728327804635-CSMY9XZ45ED8X4P55I9G/unsplash-image-vs6a4EHj_Ro.jpg The Best Alternative To Talk Therapy | Cobourg | Holistic Healing | Port Hope - “SUSE’S EXPERTISE HELPED ME PROCESS VERY DIFFICULT EXPERIENCES WITH THE MENTAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN ONTARIO.
