Sydney Institute of Meditation

Thank you Susie for two wonderful sessions with our team. The mindfulness and meditation techniques were very useful and I know our team will be using them during times of stress. We look forward to welcoming you back for another few sessions.

I attended Susie Spinks’ mindfulness meditation yoga and snorkelling retreat in November 2022. The combination was perfect, and full of marvellous moments- I have booked to attend the retreat again this year. I am very much looking forward to it, as I think my health and well-being has benefitted a lot.The retreat course was informative and science based. It was s enjoyable and informative that I am currently enrolled in Susies’ 3 month meditation course.

What a wonderful course!Susie bring such expertise and professionalism to this 12-week meditation course.The course covers all of the basic and foundations in meditation across a wide and diverse topic range, and also deep dives into the science behind meditation and its benefits.A well delivered experience which I looked forward to doing every week.Thank you Susie!Jason

This course met all my expectations and more. It has enhanced my meditation practice greatly and I can see myself moving into teaching. Susie's delivery of the course was excellent and down to earth. I did the class by zoom which worked out really well.

Susie is a wonderful teacher whose informative and insightful way of teaching has helped me to deepen my own practice and understand the benefits of meditation on a much deeper level. The homework, while demanding, was very manageable (I am a full-time teacher) and it really helped to consolidate the lessons. We had the opportunity to prepare and deliver our own meditations and Susie always provided us with constructive and comprehensive feedback.Her guidance has been invaluable and has provided me with a far more comprehensive understanding of the practice of meditation. I have learned so much from Susie, and really appreciated the time and effort she invested creating and delivering each and every excellent lesson.Susie’s passion for meditation and helping others is evident in the way she teaches, and it has been such a pleasure to be a part of her classes. I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Susie and to have had her as my teacher.I can highly recommend this course; it was a terrific investment.

I absolutely loved this course and would highly recommend! Susie was so lovely and helpful. The course had a really great balance of information covering all aspects of meditation and mindfulness, so I came away feeling well educated. Our little class bonded quite quickly, and the atmosphere was extremely positive and encouraging.I’m so glad I did it and can’t wait to begin my teaching journey. Thanks Susie for all your help!

I was very impressed with my private lesson with Susie. She was very clear with her instructions, and her gentle voice, very much relaxed me.Susie related documented evidence about the benefits of Meditation.Her home environment was most calming. The one hr passed extremely quickly & I would have loved to have stayed longer.I’m very enthusiastic & grateful for her generosity in knowledge transfer.

I have just completed the 12 week meditation teacher training with the Sydney Institute of Meditation. Susie was a great instructor! She took the time to make sure we all understood the lesson, she was very responsive to email queries and it’s obvious she loves doing what she does. I highly recommend this course as it’s great value. Thank you Susie, you have given me the knowledge and confidence to host my own classes.

I've just competed the 12-week meditation teacher's course. Susie Spinks has developed a comprehensive approach to understanding meditation, especially the scientific basis for its numerous health and life-enhancing benefits. Even before the course was completed, with Susie's expert guidance, I began presenting body scan and other guided meditations. This course has reinvigorated my long-time practice of meditation and greatly broadened my knowledge of the numerous meditative techniques, and traditions. Robert Grant

Have just finished a 5 week course with Nat and found it to be very helpful to learn different types of meditation and some background information. Nat is enthusiastic and inclusive in her teaching. Really enjoyed learning with her. I have already implemented some of the techniques learned in my daily life. Nat’s meditations are very relaxing.
