About this speaker
Suzanne Yates is a leading expert in maternity bodywork and the Extraordinary Vessels of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She founded Wellmother in 1990 and has spent over 30 years pioneering a holistic approach to all life cycles — from conception to death — integrating shiatsu, massage, and the power of supportive touch.
Now in her own post-menopausal years — her “Second Summer” — Suzanne brings deep personal insight to her work. She believes menopause, or what she calls “Maturessence,” is not an isolated event but a profound gateway rooted in our entire life experience. It is a time of transformation, offering the opportunity to reclaim and reshape our lives for the second half of our journey.
Suzanne has taught thousands of practitioners and midwives around the world and is the author of three influential books: Pregnancy and Childbirth: A Holistic Approach to Massage and Bodywork, Beautiful Birth, and Shiatsu for Midwives. She continues to develop her work through client sessions, in-person and online courses, and her YouTube channel. She is currently writing a new book on how the Extraordinary Vessels support health and transformation at every life stage.
