About Oasis

Susan Beekman could claim many titles: wisewoman, pathfinder, connector, mentor, teacher. Her clients are very glad that the title she uses is "coach." Kind, warm, funny, and smart, Susan will adeptly help you solve the puzzles and unlock the closed doors that have kept you from feeling satisfied with your life. She's a gentle but irrepressible force devoted to bringing people into harmony with their destiny. Let that force work for you.

Thank you, Susan, for accompanying and supporting me along this most difficult part of my journey to date. Losing my daughter so unexpectedly last year deconstructed most everything I thought I knew about the path of life. Your presence, compassion, and the gentle use of your skills and various tools truly brought light into a dark place. The healing has begun and I am deeply grateful.

Susan holds an uncommon depth of heart that allowed me to self-reflect in a healing and transformational way. She helped me uncover the most empowering truths about myself and my life. I am very very grateful and blessed to have worked with her.

Working with Susan is sacred ground. A wise soul with contagious laughter, she delves deep into the heart of the matter with compassion and kindness. My world has opened to more clarity, joy, and gratitude by working with her... If you want to get in touch with the "heart" of your life, she's the coach for you. Her guidance is invaluable and has helped me walk a deep, rich journey.

I don't take my thoughts so seriously anymore. I feel like my sharp edges have been smoothed down, less geometric, more organic. From cube to sphere. To create a sphere is a gentle process of controlled rolling. I feel more gentle ... and at ease.

I just felt compelled to write and say how much you have meant to me and how much I loved hearing the pumpkin story once again. It seems like your gifts are shining through and that you are a blessing to many. I wish you continued bliss and success.

Thank you for your presence in my life ... thank you for the teachings that you have offered, and for being a beautiful person with an open-hearted embodied practice.  Thank you for words of wisdom, and for living your own questions.

Susan is a warm, engaging counselor/coach whose very delight in the presence of her client awakens the Spirit within.  I unabashedly refer clients to her often, knowing that they will be safe and well cared-for in the embrace of her deep and kind Presence.

Susan brings, sensitivity, humor and consciousness to each session, and I am forever grateful for her guidance and support as I transition onto a new plateau in my life. I couldn't have done it without her. If you are ready to take a big leap into furthering your own ability to gain transformative insight, Susan is the ONE!

Her guidance is invaluable and has helped me walk a deep, rich journey.

Working with Susan, I was able to address fundamental issues around money, work, and boundaries which was critical to my budding coaching practice.   I am ever-grateful to Susan for her skill, her kindness, and her love during our sessions. As a mentor and a coach, she is unparallelled. If you want a masterful coach to help you unwind the beliefs that hold you back, call on Susan.

Even coaches need coaching, now and then! Susan's sensitive and intuitive probing was just what I needed.

I think The Work 101 compliments Martha Beck coach training perfectly; it adds depth, clarity, and a deeper understanding to the thought work we do in the Martha Beck training program.

Working with Susan allowed me the clarity to move forward.

Thank you for orchestrating a session that led to such rich insight, Susan Grace. Your work is a reminder that the "better story” is within reach – and you help me reach it!

I love working with Susan because she helps me see so clearly how a simple shift in my thinking can help me let go of frustration and anxiety. Every conversation with her helps me focus on how I really want to be and lays out a clear and easy path for getting there.

Susan has become the little voice in the back of my head that supports me and reminds to take action. As I go through my days, I notice myself thinking, “what did I promise myself?” Each time I talk to Susan, I want to be able to report back on what I gained or learned from being awake to my own hopes and desires and taking the actions that support them.

For a while my husband asked me, “What do you get from talking to Susan?” Then, after a month of serious life stresses, including a death in the family, work deadlines, and other trauma, he said, “Wow, you’ve been so calm, I didn’t even realize how much we’ve been dealing with.”

Susan holds an uncommon depth of heart that allowed me to self-reflect in a healing and transformational way. She helped me uncover the most empowering truths about myself and my life. I am very very grateful and blessed to have worked with her.

In addition to her great warmth and humor, Susan brings a wealth of tools to her sessions. Working with her is always a surprise and an adventure as she spontaneously and masterfully blends Life Coaching with The Work, dream analysis, humanistic psychology, The Artist's Way, contemplation, and many other modalities as the situation requires.

I am a graduate of Katie's School for The Work, and I can be picky about being facilitated by a coach who hasn't experienced Katie's work. I was recently facilitated by a graduate of Susan's The Work 101 for Coaches, and it was incredible! That coach took me so deep into my work and helped me move a mountain of a belief. She even taught me some new things about how to improve my own facilitation. If you can't go to Katie's School, take Susan's class! You and your clients will be glad you did!

Working with Susan Grace is profound and playful at the same time! To be supported by her gentle wisdom has been a blessing to me during tremendous transitions. Gentle guidance, humor and grace are words that begin to describe her gifts. Soulful work. Susan Grace has helped me to clarify my path during challenging times.

Susan teaches with a rare combination of humor and wisdom that makes you feel lighter immediately - lighter for having discovered some truths to help you on your way forward and lighter in the sense of realizing that you don't have to take everything so damn seriously.

Susan Grace both possesses and generously shares her deep and authentic gift of compassionate insight with those of us who have been led to her for guidance. In my work with her, I continuously felt her gentle, patient and yet fiercely determined commitment to meet me where I was at in any given moment and yet point the way toward my inner knowledge of my own essential self. In my experience, Susan Grace Beekman lives by the teachings of Martha Beck and Byron Katie and that giving by living was apparent from the very outset of her engagement with me.

Life is good. Inquiry has opened up places in my heart I thought were closed forever. Life is so good.

Absolutely I would recommend this course to another coach.  I've read all of Katie's books, listened to her audio books and recordings, and yet, during this course I discovered completely new facets to The Work.

Our conversations cause me to remember the place of riches and opportunity in which I stand, so I can’t help but move forward in bigger ways than I previously imagined possible. I have found in Susan a kindred spirit and a source of invaluable support. I’m sure you will too.

Susan sees a higher vision of myself than I can see and holds it right in front of me. She inspires me to be myself.

Working with Susan Grace (she is ‘full of grace’) has been extraordinary for me. Before I went into coach training I didn’t know about Byron Katie’s Inquiry work. Susan introduced me to The Work in our Coach-the-Coach calls. I was not surprised to find out that she is a spiritual director as well as a facilitator of The Work because her guidance opens sacred space for me. In her nourishing way Susan will guide you to your kinder self and ‘shackles off’ possibilities. What a gift!

After our session I get back to that peaceful warrior state, knowing I can advocate for myself, yet in a calm state. It feels good, and I thank you so much for that.

Working with Susan for a few weeks catapulted me towards my true self instead of just meandering around in my head. She was able to put her finger exactly on what was really causing the pain, ensuring that we would not get caught in detours.

One finishes feeling integrated and loved, with definite goals to work toward.

Susan was very important in my life.  When I asked her to help me move toward building my coaching practice, I thought I had things figured out and just needed a little support—someone to hold me accountable.  But as my path toward this goal took turns I hadn’t anticipated, Susan saw me through confusion, fear, and heartbreak.  She helped me stay open to what was unfolding, rather than being blinded by my preconceptions.  I have accomplished what I asked for help with…and a great deal more.  I am most grateful!

Through her deep listening, contagious laughter, and insightful guidance Susan Grace Beekman gently points out the goodness I overlook in my moments of frustration. What a gift she has for helping me shift my perspective so that I can see what is showing up to support me.

It was the best workshop I ever attended, and "workshop" doesn't even begin to describe it! Thank you for a superb experience all around.

Susan has such a unique and calming presence and talent at putting everyone at ease. I not only deepened my practice with 'The Work', but also learned so much about how to facilitate a group with grace, ease and transparency. It's so refreshing.

I had no idea of how limited my use and understanding of The Work was until I had a chance to learn some of its depth and power in Susan's class. This class will improve your coaching skills, and your life experience.

Susan is an island of safety. [Her class on] The Work 101 made me so much more comfortable with the process.

I've worked with a number of highly-skilled life coaches and therapists. She's one of the best. I highly recommend this work for anyone seeking to restore balance, peace and contentment.

Life has been pretty amazing since I got home from the workshop. Such a sense of lightness, freedom, and joy.

I've been amazed that what seems like such a simple process, can have such profound, immediate positive effects on my physical and emotional well-being...and my primary relationship.

Lovingly and gracefully, Susan has guided me toward ways of thinking that have given me more days of joy and peace. She is thoughtful and compassionate, loving and real.

Susan is an oasis of calm and serenity. She guided my busy mind into a quiet state where I could hear my own wisdom.
