About Sue
Coming Home
I grew up in this area, with family roots here stretching back six generations.
At eleven years old, I left to attend Canada’s National Ballet School in Toronto. That early training shaped my understanding of discipline, movement, and the intelligence of the body.
Years of living and working in Toronto followed — training, clinical practice, and continued exploration of how the body adapts, compensates, and heals.
Over time, something became clear:
The body does not respond to force.
It responds to safety, steadiness, and careful listening.
After more than four decades away, returning to this area felt intentional.
LightWater Sanctuary reflects that arc — rural roots, refined training, and a commitment to offering grounded, thoughtful care within a community I know and value.
My work is guided by a simple intention:
To help people feel more at home and at peace in their bodies than when they arrived.
