About Susan Ormsby

I was born in New Zealand in the small country town of Paeroa, whose main claim to fame is a local soft drink called L & P - when I was a child it was called Lemon and Paeroa. I think originally it had been made with the local mineral water.  I remember as a child making up my own concoction from the local mineral water, with lemon juice and sugar - tasted quite nice and not unlike the soft drink bearing its name - however, what I didn't know, but was soon to learn, was that the local mineral water is a very strong laxative and purgative.  So it was not a drink I ever made again.

I attended the local primary school and high school and then did a year long office course in Tauranga, mainly I think, because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and my parents wanted me to do something 'useful'. I then worked for a year and then went hitchhiking around New Zealand, my mind filled with romantic fantasies about living life easy and freely. (I always liked the notion of freewheeling it through life like a free living 60's hippie - still do - but these days I want the creature comforts , so a nice hotel rather than sleeping rough and the added security of having actual cash in the bank, which I have to say is still a work in progress).  Anyhow, the fantasies didn't quite match up to reality, so I wound up going to University and studied for a Bachelor of Science.  Then spent a couple of years travelling around Europe (very badly - I must say, I actually got caught up in the fun or just living life and partying in London - an absolutely fabulous city and one about which I hold very fond memories).  Interestingly, all through this period, I never worried about money, I never had enough mind you - but when I needed things to happen - they would just 'turn up'.

Over the years, I have done many things, I learnt Beauty therapy and actually taught it for a while.  Owned several beauty salon's. Did courses on real estate and embarked on buying property. More courses on business and marketing and even went through period of teaching small business owners how to market their businesses using direct marketing methods.  Plus various courses in self development such as meditation, yoga, NLP, EFT and even a 2 year diploma course in Applied Para Psychology.  But all the while, during this period I never had any cash still, at one point things looked very good on paper - but still going out to dinner was something I had to think about.  What was I doing wrong? I was doing everything I was taught - but it was hard and difficult always felt like an uphill battle and inside I wasn't happy.

Then disaster struck, a few wrong investments and everything went down the tubes.  We lost everything and for the first time, I had to take stock of the situation and take a good long look at me.  And I didn't want too.  I had been ignoring my inner insecurities and lack of self worth and self love, all of my life - keeping busy is a great way of ignoring what's truly wrong.  And when you are in a situation where you really have to look at what and who you are because that's all you have left - it is hard!  And for me, if I could have avoided it - I would have.

What I realised I had been doing was living a life that I thought would make me happy, I never looked at what I truly wanted and to be honest, I didn't have a clue how to look.  And believe me - I was and to some extent am, a course junkie - and I implement what I am taught, but it just never reached me on some level and so at the end of the day, the outer seemed to change, but because the inner me didn't at the level required - my life kept building up, then imploding - time and time again, and each time on a grander scale. 

Then I met Sheila and together we have explored what was missing and what we could do to make our lives more balanced, more calm, more content and yes, more abundant and prosperous.  This journey of working with 'the Source of the Healing Sounds' has taken us to the best places and some of the worst places (in terms of facing myself) - but always, I have found the work to be rewarding and entirely useful.

Today, I continue to learn new things everyday.  And my financial issues are resolving themselves as we go along.  I wake up and face each day with a sense of 'aliveness' that is truly wonderful, plus, I am calm and peaceful and content most of the time and for me - that is the greatest blessing of them all.
