Susan Dunhaupt
Rosen Method Bodywork Practitioner
Susan is a wife, mother and grandmother. She was a licensed social worker and psychotherapist prior to beginning her training as a Rosen Method Bodywork practitioner. As a client of this type of bodywork, starting in 2008, she was impressed by the sometimes immediate effect that this form of gentle touch and words had on her being at a very deep level. " I learned things about myself that had been buried in my subconscious mind and was able to change some lifelong response patterns as a result."
Though she had not started the work with the plan of becoming a practitioner, the profound power of the process convinced her that this was her next path in life. She decided that she wanted to help others experience this transformative work. "Marion Rosen used to say that Rosen Method Bodywork helps a person transform 'from the person they think they are to the person they truly are' ".
Susan started her ENLIVEN! Bodywork and Counseling practice in downtown Northfield in 2015.
"I discovered Rosen Method and found that I was able to start to link my physical responses in life (pain) to my conscious mind. I started coming to Susan...because I had a lot on my plate. What I got out of it, and what other people can get out of it is taken from a quote by American neuroscientist, Candace Pert, She said 'Your body is your subconscious mind'; by accessing your body, you are accessing yourself".

I wasn't sure what to expect going to Enliven Bodywork and Counseling, but knew I needed guidance on how to become more self aware. Also, I was looking for help addressing some issues, starting with how to take better care of myself after a lifetime of being a busy working mom! After my first session, I knew this was something that would help me move forward with my goals. The Enliven space is safe, warm and relaxing. Susan has been wonderful support and guides me through each session with her words and gentle touch. I highly recommend Enliven!
