Susan Moore, MSW, Registered Craniosacral Therapist and Certified Yoga Therapist.
I’ve worked in the field of health and wellness for over 30 years. I taught fitness, tai chi, and yoga, served as Wellness Coordinator for the Chicopee Council on Aging, and worked as a Physical Therapist Assistant in orthopedic outpatient treatment. In 2014 I became a Licensed Massage Therapist, followed by training in both Biodynamic and Upledger Craniosacral Therapy. In 2024 I completed a Master’s in Social Work and achieved certification as a Yoga Therapist through the Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy.
Health challenges impact all aspects of our lives. Stress, past traumas, beliefs about ourselves, and social connections (or lack of) all profoundly affect how our bodies repair and restore. I experienced this myself when facing an autoimmune disorder in my twenties, and more recently with two bone breaks due to osteoporosis. I am committed to working in a way that invites all aspect of the Self into the healing process.
In addition to private practice, I teach massage students at The Massage School, and continuing education for massage therapists through Ganesha Institute. My Yoga Therapy work focuses on healthy aging, working with osteoporosis, and pelvic floor health.
Most of my childhood was spent in the woods of Minnesota, exploring the countryside on the back of a horse. Today I live in Easthampton with my husband, our two German Shepherds, and one cat. The forest is still my happy place but I’ll never turn down an invitation to explore a city. I play guitar badly.
