Let’s talk about your current issues and find the best approach for supporting your dealing with them. Whether stress, anxiety, or sleep disorders, or just an immunity boost to help you through COVID-19, there are ancient and modern techniques that we can discuss, and then develop into a personalized plan. Learning is the first step — my learning about your challenges, and your learning about all the protocols that can be fused together to get you back on the road to true vitality. The word “enlighten” is from an Old English word which meant literally “to light, to illuminate.” I think you’ll find that after our first conversation we would have both not only been a little more illuminated, but also that your current burdens would have already lightened a bit.

About Susan Shane
Throughout my own journey, I have experienced many transformations. I have had three overlapping careers: I danced professionally, fulfilling a lifelong childhood dream (Flashdance inspired); I ran a personal fitness company, helping clients to achieve their fitness goals (laughter included); and for the last twenty five years, I’ve also managed an acupuncture and herbal medicine practice, this time helping patients achieve their wellness goals (vitality infused). A few career highlights include graduating magna cum laude from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine, participating as a longstanding member of the Community Advisory Board member at the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in La Jolla, CA and speaking about wellness at Qualcomm, Chuao Chocolatier and UCSD.
“What I have learned and found key to a vital life is integrated balance.”
But it didn’t really take my active adult journey to learn this lesson: When I was 2, my father, had a debilitating accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He never walked again. From a wheelchair, he rose above his physical challenge and taught me to “follow my heart.” He also emphasized keeping a balanced perspective as I marched through life (my dad was in the Stanford marching band as a clarinetist and participated in the 1952 Rose Bowl parade – a true life highlight for him).
My own journey’s life lesson, whether learned at an early age or reinforced as an adult, is what guides my Vitality Fusion approach: By keeping a positive outlook, supporting my vital energy and integrating many holistic healing traditions, I found hope, balance, and with it, resilience. Having found them, though, it now seems that the only way I can keep them is to use whatever knowledge and abilities I am blessed with to help others do the same.
