Meet Susan – Founder of Sacred Sankalpa

I’m Susan Pickering, the heart behind Sacred Sankalpa. My journey is shaped by a deep love for people and a lifelong commitment to holding space for healing and transformation. With a background in counselling and many years of walking alongside individuals living with disability and mental health challenges, I’ve also served as a minister in the Uniting Church in Australia. These experiences have taught me that presence, compassion, and ritual have the power to heal and honour every moment of the human journey.

Yoga and meditation are at the core of my personal and professional path. My training includes:

200-hour Yoga Teacher Training
Yin Yoga & Restorative Yoga
Meditation & Mindfulness

I offer soulful, embodied practices designed to support you through life’s ebbs and flows, encouraging stillness, self-connection, and inner resilience.

As a qualified celebrant, I feel deeply called to honour life’s meaningful transitions, from moments of celebration to times of farewell.

Funeral & Memorial Celebrant

I offer personalised funeral and memorial services that honour the essence of each unique life. With a grounded presence and an open heart, I create sacred, inclusive spaces for remembrance and love.

Life Transitions & Milestones

From welcoming a new baby to blessing a new home or business, I offer rituals and ceremonies that honour your journey.

Weddings (Coming Soon!)

In the near future, I will also be offering civil wedding celebrant services, bringing heartfelt ritual to your most sacred union.
