Where are you located?
My time zone is Pacific Standard Time. For the time-being I am only doing sessions via video calls or over the phone. I work with clients around the world and can work with your time zone requirements. How does work online/distance work work?
I regularly conduct sessions on the phone or via Zoom and they are equally effective as in person sessions. Why is this? Because the subconscious, your emotions, and energy don't abide by our requirements for space and time. That's why something that happened years ago can still trigger you today. And, in this work, something that you've struggled with for years can be eradicated within weeks, days, sometimes immediately. No matter where you are in the world I can schedule time with you. I also create personalized energy meditation and hypnosis audio recordings for clients to listen to on their own and/or between sessions. |
What is your privacy policy?
Your privacy is my highest priority. Your information will never be shared with a third-party. If you live in the Puget Sound Area and we see each other by chance in public, I will not approach you unless you initiate a conversation with me. I sometimes work with people who are preparing to leave relationships or work situations and I never want to put anyone on the spot about explaining how we know each other. What you say and what we do in session or in class remains between you and I, period.

What does a session consist of?
I have a specific way of honing in on the root of your challenge or issue. I combine elements of hypnosis, reiki, a non-touch protocol i call energy system healing™, a deeply relaxing and transformative form of guided journeying and meditation, intuitive energy reading, conversation, and instruction on tools and practices you can use to manage your own energy and emotions throughout the week. Sessions systematically build on one another, and are customized to your specific needs. Below are some of the reasons people work with me, but my supportive, holistic approach can be applied to most any issue.

I operate under the premise that the body responds to what the mind tells it. A very basic example might be: If a client wants to lose weight but their underlying thought process revolves around "I am so fat", progress will be difficult. The mind perpetuates the belief and associated energy of I am so fat. A more effective "suggestion" that can be introduced and integrated might be "I have a healthy metabolism" or "I am becoming more fit and healthy every day." Note: I am not saying these are the ideal replacement suggestions for everyone. I am saying that what we tell ourselves has the power to shape our experiences, sometimes even in the physical body.
How long are your sessions and much do they cost?
Sessions last up to 90 minutes. It is recommended that you give yourself the opportunity for consecutive sessions or join a multi-week program to heal and integrate new mindsets, patterns and practices. The aim is to help you feel better and resolve any challenges as quickly as possible. There is no one size fits all, and together you and I can figure out the best plan for you. Schedule a complimentary call to learn more.

What is Energy System Healing?
Energy System Healing is a specific and comprehensive approach I've developed over the years that addresses the subtle energy systems (meridians, aura layers, chakras, etc.) in the body where the root of issues, imbalance can be discovered, shifted, released and transformed into an alignment that better serves you. In addition, it looks at the exterior energetic systems and dynamics impacting your own personal systems--be they cultural, socio-economic, in relationships, work, day-to-day habits and behaviors, and also the impact of technology and devices. I practice a specific form of non-touch healing that is similar to Reiki. As I work, I will guide you to tune in to the process. Your participation speeds and hones the work, and allows you to gain a greater understanding of your own energetic systems. Working together we will treat and heal what your body is calling for. I will also teach you healing tools and techniques so that over time you will have your own personal toolbox for addressing issues that arise.

What is Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy? How does it work?
Hypnosis is simply a process and protocol for calling in a deeply calm and relaxed state.which opens a person to higher presence, awareness, and responsiveness. Hypnotic states are associated with increased theta wave activity which is like a light trance state, allowing our brains to make free-flowing connections and more mental imagery. But brainwave states can range from gamma--for information processing and insight--to delta. Although delta waves are usually associated with sleep, they can also be generated in a waking state by experienced hypnotherapists and meditators. When delta waves are present, the body is in a state of complete relaxation, and the mind is usually not very active.The hypnotized person is not sleeping or unconscious—quite the contrary. In a hypnotic state people can tune in more deeply and accurately to what's going on within them and around them and become active problem solvers. While it's true that the subconscious mind is more open to suggestion during hypnosis, that doesn't mean that a person's free will or moral judgment is turned off. In fact, it's just the opposite. In this deeply relaxed, open and aware state, the presence of a good hypnotherapist can support a person in discerning and honoring the truth of who they are and what their body, mind and spirit need for optimal well-being.

What is hypnotic journeying?
Hypnotic journeying is a bit like a deep trance guided meditation that facilitates deep healing and transformation. An experienced hypnotherapist will talk to you about what you want to experience and accomplish and will facilitate a journey that opens you to your own deep insight and knowingness. Hypnotic journeys can be wonderful for connecting with the universe/the god of your heart, soothing your nervous system and healing anxiety, managing pain, spending time with loved ones that have passed, visiting the astral, consulting the Akashik records, and more. Schedule a free call to learn more, or ask me about it in your next session.

What is Reiki?
(Description from the International Center for Reiki Training--Reiki.org) Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

How does coaching work?
Breakthroughs, releases, epiphanies, and shifts happen during our sessions together, but it's what happens between and beyond sessions that ensures your ongoing emotional and energetic health and well-being.That's why I also include integration and strategy in our sessions, and really emphasize teaching my clients tools and techniques that help you activate and rejuvenate you when you need it, and keep your thought patterns, energy hygiene, and behaviors aligned in ways that serve you best.
As you align more into you and to the directions that resonate most, you will open and evolve even more, perhaps even tuning in to higher levels of sensory awareness and focus. The tools and techniques enhance your growth and can support you for the rest of your life.

What is voice empowerment? What is vocal sound healing?
The human voice evokes a special resonance of recognition and validation of the body, in the psyche and in the nervous system. This resonance transcends our own physical body and energetic field, affecting the greater world around us in ways we are often not aware. There are many reasons why people may lose confidence in their voice, feel fear around speaking up, or have blocks about sharing ideas and expressing their truth. I help people tune into the blocks, the deeper things the heart and body cannot express through words and help them release through sound. I also use my own voice to help disrupt energy and help shift and life a person's energetic state to a higher vibration. In a session I may have you sound alone or I may sound with you. Though it may seem strange or scary at first, it can ultimately be a very powerful release and inner harmonization that simultaneously awakens and empowers the voice.

Do you do past life regressions?
Yes. With hypnosis (or trance work) we can quickly go back in time to a previous life or current but other-dimensional life. Just as we can go to specific times and places in our current lifetime--for instance visiting your childhood—we can do the same with other lives or incarnations of your soul coming into a body. When we hone in aspects of our existence before or even simultaneous to your current life, we can discover deeper roots of issues you have now, information about soul relationships that you’ve had with people over many lifetimes, insights into your likes, dislikes, and your purpose in this life—and much more. In the regression, you will sense and experience aspects of that life and I will be there with you, guiding, asking questions, and also sharing things that I notice and see.

Are you a spiritual teacher?
I consider myself a mentor from the standpoint of being a spiritual person with an active practice who has done extensive study into diverse aspects of spirituality, metaphysics, and religion. I have worked with people of many different religions and spiritual beliefs, and spiritual practice has helped me heal and transform many things in my life. At core, I believe that we are all luminous beings waking and opening into our divine nature and that there are many paths to experiencing this. We all have free will and the right to tune in to ourselves and the world around us to find the direction that works best for us. My role as a guide or teacher is to help you empower and illuminate the path that's right for you. I am able to speak to many belief systems and feel that exploring the mysteries of God/Source/Creator and all that is can be helpful as we come to honor the power and truth of who we are. One of the first things I ask people in session is if they honor or work with a specific deity or deities, guide(s), spiritual master(s) or energy source. Many people do and we often incorporate these guides in sessions. Others feel there is a greater force at work but aren't sure how to tap into it. I help and support people to open more deeply to themselves and their uniquely personal connection to the divine. This connection can bring about new insights and perspectives, and sometimes miraculous healing.

What makes you different from other practitioners?
I bring a balance of etheric/spiritual and practical/tactical work that helps people step into the fullness of who they are.. Our work together is expansive and multi-dimensional, but always grounded and brought back to supporting you in your physical body and physical activities here on earth. As we work together I teach you powerful mind empowerment and energy healing tools and techniques to use between sessions and beyond our work together. It's part of my mission to help people gain mastery of their own emotional and energetic systems, mindset, and thought patterns. These practices grow and expand with you--and can be useful throughout your lifetime.

Do you help people who are experiencing spiritual or psychic openings OR people who want to intentionally open those channels?
Yes, but first let me say that I think a lot of unnecessary baggage has been piled on to the word psychic. The word has its roots in "psyche," a Greek word meaning "breath, life, soul." To me, there's nothing strange about being in tune with breath, with life, and the workings of the soul--in fact the world might be a better place if we were all a little more aware of these things.
One of my missions is to normalize the experience of having high and multi-dimensional levels of perception. An area of my expertise is working with people who are highly sensitive, especially those experiencing spiritual awakenings and the intense experiences, sensations and feelings that can come with it. I also work with people who are simply curious and interested in opening these faculties for themselves. Like a lot of people, I was born highly sensitive but because I didn't understand it until much later, the first part of my life was very challenging. I share freely about it with clients and students. My modis operandi is: "What once felt like a curse I now claim as a gift and I can help you do that too." More and more people are experiencing personal evolution into higher levels of sensory perception. For some it can be a truly unsettling experience. I will teach you tools and techniques that will allow you to feel more at ease, control the volume and intensity, even tune out and turn on at will. I have studied and worked with leading experts in sentient/psychical development and remote viewing since 2006, and for the last eight years have regularly worked both one-on-one with clients while also offering group classes and workshops.

Why does your name show up differently in different places?
Good question. My name is Susana DuMett. I added an “a” at the end of my birth first name several years ago because I liked the rhythm and energy of having the extra syllable. My last name has always been misspelled and mispronounced. When I was a kid, I was mercilessly teased about it --Dumb-ette, Damn-ette, even Dumbshit. It is actually pronounced as it is written Du (doo) Mett (met). You will see variations of my name—just know that they are incorrect, outdated, or relate to another person entirely.
What's the best way to start?
Begin with a consultation! We will Zoom or I will call you directly to learn more about you and you get the opportunity ask any and all questions. Together we will map out a plan and set up your first session. If you have any questions see the Sessions tab or contact me directly. Thank you for scheduling!
