Susan Mankowski

Susan Mankowski, LMT, BFA in Dance, has been an Certified Breema Practitioner and Instructor in Santa Cruz, the Breema Center, and throughout the United States since 1998. She is a Staff member and Instructor at the Breema Center since 2012. Currently she is located offsite in Wisconsin and also instructs at Breema Center Intensives, for the practitioner program, and other onsite events.

As early as I can remember, I wanted to connect to life through touch, and movement. This interest grew into a formalized study of dance, massage therapy, and other somatic modalities.
Since 1995, my study of Breema introduced to me the a new dimension of consciousness and presence which is available as an experience of the self, supported by body-mind connection. The meaning of Breema, which is "the activity of the body when I am present," has fueled my professional studies and embodied my life with a new essential posture for thinking, feeling, and moving.
Over time, all my studies, practices, and experiences create a center within myself, allowing a direct connection to my life, becoming the foundation for discovery of meaning and self-understanding.
