Suresha has three degrees in Education and School Psychology from Kent State University, with a specialty in Systems Intervention and Prevention. She studied the psychology of change and wholistic interpretations of mental health, while learning how to effectively enter an existing system and offer more natural options to both prevent and solve problems. After earning a black belt in karate, she went on to earn numerous certificates of additional training in varied styles of bodywork, shiatsu, breath therapy, and hypnotherapy.

She led groups abroad in movement, martial dance, and breath therapy, and after working as a psychological consultant, became an integrative therapist in the States utilizing a broad, yet individualized approach to help balance the body, mind, and emotions for private clients and referrals from health centers on the East Coast. Suresha established ‘Health Unlimited’ following a move to California in the 1980's, and worked as an independent contractor for a physical therapist and chiropractor, where her work began to take a more clinical perspective.

Intrigued by “chronic” patients, she was fortunate enough to participate in a training in Hanna Somatic Education through the Novato Institute for Somatic Research and Training in the early 1990's, which revolutionized her work and brought transformative results in both acute and chronic cases. She later became a trainer for the Institute, taught Intensives (in her own evolution of somatic education called NeuroSomatic Integration™ ) at Heartwood Institute for seven years, and developed the Marin Center for Somatic Education in 2000.
