About Us
Georgia and Susan are the founders of Heartcentre which they established in 1985.
They work as Holistic Psychotherapists and Educators, Spiritual Practitioners and Meditation Teachers with an emphasis on the healing, awakening, refinement and expression of the heart in all aspects of life.
Susan and Georgia work in informed, practical, supportive, and intuitive ways to enable people to realise their full potential. They combine affirmation, challenge, education and personal mentoring in a relationship which holds warmth and respect. They celebrate the sacredness of love within all life and see the one divine stream flowing through all existence.
They have been practicing meditation and been students of Sufism since 1973 when they began studying the Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan and his universal philosophy of unity and love. The particular strand of his Message that they resonated so deeply with was the non-hierarchical formlessness of truth.
The vision for Heartcentre remains, that it is a place where all the loving paths can meet, and that the richness of diversity can unite rather than divide. The simplicity of this message of love permeates their work now.
Susan and Georgia draw upon the sublime generosity of the Unseen for inspiration and guidance in their lives and work, as well as the universal hearts of Rumi, Hafiz, Kabir and other great Mystics.

Our Foster Child
To celebrate birthdays at Heartcentre rather than giving presents we have a foster child in Indonesia. Her name is Beci Snae. The birthday contribution makes her education and healthcare possible, and also supports the village in which she lives building the school and ensuring clean drinking water for everyone. A wonderful living gift to each other.
