The Healer Within Is...

A sacred training ground for women waking up to the knowledge that their lives are precious enough to take care of.

It is for those who yearn to tap into their innate power to heal. It is both a mythical and a practical journey where women gather to explore their health, their capacity to have agency over their own lives, their connection to deep and powerful archetypal energies, and their remembrance of the healing powers of Nature Herself. This and more, The Medicine Woman knows she does not only for herself but for her family and community as well.

We've Gotten Confused About Health & Healing

We live in expert-driven times where how we take care of ourselves is based on the "expert" opinion of another person, and where...

  • We live so detached from our own bodies that we need somebody outside of us to tell us what we need. This might look like internet searches or going from specialist to specialist trying to "fix" what's wrong with you.

  • We feel disempowered and disconnected from the wisdom and inner strength contained within our very own bodies while pathologizing the messages our bodies are sending us.

  • We don't know how to care for ourselves in a skilled and satisfying manner or how to co-create healing with our health practitioners. And we definitely don't know how to claim the sovereignty that is ours to decide.

But There Is Another Way...

And It's Built Right Into You.

Beyond diets, prescriptions, and expert advice lies within you the capacity to intuitively know what you need to heal and be well. As a mammal, self-care is wired into you and needs only your attention, your trust and a little support. This built-in know how is the basis of understanding what to eat, when to rest and how to move. All of this serves as the very foundation of the confidence you need to make health choices and to address health issues from a place of empowerment.

Why I Created The Healer Within

While there is an innate healing wisdom within you, for a lot of us that knowing has been lost.

That's why I created The Healer Within: To remind you of what is already there, but has been forgotten or scared away.

The Transformation

In our time together, we focus on simple, accessible, and timeless concepts and practices that put you in the position of remembering what your body already knows how to do so that when you finish the program, you'll:

  • Have a healing roadmap tailored to your body, mind, & spirit

  • Know how to be in your body in a life-affirming way

  • Know how to interpret the messages your body is sending you

  • Feel empowered in making decisions based on what you need and not what others think you should do

Program Details

We gather live virtually, from January to June, on the 4th Thursday of each month from 6:30-8pm EST.

After each gathering, your dashboard will open you up to videos, practice audios and written support to help explore and to make the teachings and techniques your own. Each session covers a foundational area to support you in becoming your own Healer Within and includes topics like: Mindfulness, Nervous System Regulation, Symptoms As Messengers, Energy Healing, The Breath As Medicine, Healing Rituals, The Power Of The Mind, What The Body Actually Needs, Intuition, And More...

About The Sessions

Supporting & inspiring each session is a carefully chosen archetype to help you make lasting shifts in how you care for yourself.

Best of all, this is not another information dump. Your ability to tap into you and what you need most in life must be an embodied experience. Which is why we practice and experiment with different techniques and perspectives to give you a chance to see what works best for you. An exploration that includes going from what is physical and practical to what is mystical and magical.

This Program Is For You If...

  • You yearn for dedicated sacred space to really hear yourself and what you most need

  • You seek clarity around how to heal things you've been struggling with and insights into what's not working in your life

  • You know in your bones that the marketing fads (scares) telling you what it means to be healthy are not working for you, but you don't know what else to do

  • You seek the determination to find healthy practitioners to co-create with and healthcare that actually keeps you healthy

  • You are ready to see the aches, pains and illnesses of your body as vital information

  • You're tired of being confused, and even afraid of your own body, and you long to be brave enough to get to the root of what is not working so you can discover what is possible for you

  • You're looking for simple, practical tips, practices and perspectives to call your own

Your Guide & Fellow Traveler

Susan McNamara

Thirty-five years ago my own journey into The Healer Within began. It came in the form of a simple, but profound knowing: "There has got to be more to Life than how I am living, what I am being told, and what I have come to believe." All these decades later, I am here saying to you, "There is."

What I have to offer you is my personal experience, the trainings I have undertaken, the way I live my life, my commitment to service and the ongoing learnings I continue to do. 

Specifically, I am a Certified Holistic Health Counselor, Professional-Level Kripalu Yoga Teacher, Shamanic Practitioner and Journeydance Guide. I am trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Somatics and Energy Medicine. I hold a Masters in Counseling Psychology and am trained and educated at the doctoral level in Clinical Psychology. For almost twenty years, I taught the college course Relaxation Techniques at Westfield State University. 

I continue to learn in the areas of shamanism, somatics, food as medicine, creating medicinals from the land, as well as exploring timeless Universal healing practices and principles.

I wrote the book, Trusting Your Body: The Embodied Journey of Claiming Sacred Responsibility for Your Health & Well-Being and write the weekly blog Medicine4ThePeople.

What People Are Saying

  • Amy S.

    I was interested in learning more about the topic of self-care when I heard about The Healer Within. During the program, my interpretation of how to take care of myself shifted from seeing self-care as a very "surface, big picture" notion that mostly meant more exercise and more meditation - which I was struggling to do, to a much simpler and easier way to be in my life. Sue is an incredibly gifted instructor who combines her expertise, kindness and compassion for all people. The space was supportive and incredibly judgement free.

  • Christine G.

    I am amazed by the amount of information and resources Susan has compiled for the Healer Within. I learned so much more than I expected - and I enjoyed every minute of it! In a world that conditions us to ignore and suppress our body's natural healing abilities, this program is vitally important for everyone. Thank you Susan!!!

  • Joyce M.

    I have been on a healing journey for a long time but I have always felt like I was missing something. Susan’s course helped me see that what I was missing was inside myself all along. Through her well-planned lessons where she shares her wisdom along with her practical tools, I was so much better able to tap into my own wisdom. Susan is a wise medicine woman and exactly the role model and mentor I needed in my healing journey. I highly recommend her course.
