Today we’d like to introduce you to Susy Schieffelin.
Hi Susy, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
In my twenties, I went through a period of immense struggle and darkness that led me to a place where I felt so hopeless and lost that I almost took my own life. One morning, I woke up and heard a voice in my mind that said, “Susy, wake up and LIVE,” so I began exploring yoga, meditation, and energy healing modalities such as sound healing and reiki to find healing. As I attended sound baths, practiced kundalini yoga/meditation, and received reiki healings regularly, my life began to transform. I was able to finally get sober; I found acceptance of my hair loss and shaved my head. I lost over 40 lbs., and the light returned to my eyes. At the same time, I also began to feel a new sense of hope, possibility, and unconditional self-love. After attending a breathwork sound bath one Saturday night in Santa Monica, CA, I realized that if my own life could be so profoundly transformed through these modalities, I could learn how to share them with other people and help them find healing and hope, too. So, I began my training in sound healing and reiki while working at a corporate job, but before long, I started to feel that my job was no longer aligned with my spirit. Along the way, I started a new Instagram account @thecoppervessel to share inspirational quotes and messages, and I decided that could be the basis for my business! So, in May 2017, I left my job and took the leap into entrepreneurship. I began by hosting sound baths on the beach, which eventually led to 1:1 clients, corporate wellness, hosting retreats worldwide, and then teaching others how to build their sound healing businesses, too. It has been an incredible journey!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
One of the things that I have learned along the way is that there will always be joys and challenges in life; however, no experience is innately bad or good; it’s just a matter of how you choose to look at it. I deeply believe that the Universe is always conspiring to support us in growing into our highest potential. I have definitely faced challenges, personally and professionally; however, every experience has helped me to become clearer in my path, more confident in who I am, and more faith in my purpose and mission for helping others.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a crystal alchemy sound healer, reiki master, kundalini yoga instructor, and business coach. I am most widely known for sharing transformative sound baths and moon ceremonies that help people to awaken to the truth of who they are, experience inner healing, break free of anxiety and addiction, and feel more radiant and relaxed in their lives.
As my own healing practice has grown, my business has flourished, and I have gained widespread recognition for my teaching, which has allowed me to step into a bigger purpose: teaching and mentoring other healers. At the beginning of 2021, I founded The Sound Healer’s Academy, the leading Professional Crystal Alchemy Sound Healing certification training and business mentorship. I have trained and mentored hundreds of healers worldwide in the art and science of sound healing and spiritual entrepreneurship. I am most proud of the people I have helped find the courage to trust their calling and step into a path of freedom and abundance through entrepreneurship. I feel that my impact becomes exponential when I can support others in sharing their gifts and feeling empowered, making their maximum positive impact on the world! The professional network and loving community of healers that has been created through The Sound Healer’s Academy is truly unrivaled, and I feel honored to support so many other healers in sharing their own unique gifts and demystifying what it takes to experience financial success in the wellness space.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I see sound becoming a go-to healing modality for the mainstream! I see this not only in terms of sound as a tool for mindfulness and inner healing but also in a medical sense. More and more research is coming out to support frequency healing, and it will continue to play a huge role in the future of medicine. In complementary therapy and mindfulness practices, I see sound healing growing to be just as popular and accessible as yoga.
In a fast-paced world where people can become so disconnected from who they really are and where we are seeing so many people struggle with anxiety, depression, addiction, and mental health challenges, sound is a simple tool that can support deep, lasting inner healing through reconnection to the self. I believe that people will begin to incorporate sound healing practices into their daily lives to support their personal healing.
As sound becomes more understood by the collective, it will create substantial opportunities for creativity and lead more mainstream artists to incorporate healing elements into their music, allowing people to gather at large for mass sound meditation and healing experiences. I also believe that virtual reality will play a major role in the spread of sound healing by creating accessibility for people to immerse themselves in the full sensory experience of a sound bath in the comfort of their own homes.
