While her mind had forgotten all but the smallest fragments of CSA, her body could re-enact precisely the events she had endured and survived.

Susanna has practiced meditation and yoga for 35 years, teaching both survivors and others. She had an early career in Business at IBM and SmithKline Beecham and has an MSc in Teaching MBSR and MBCT from Bangor University. 

has worked with victims and survivors of Child Sexual Abuse for more than 15 years. His primary interest lies in the intersecting identities of those who experience CSA. He has campaigned for recognition of the needs of men, ethnic minority and disabled people. His efforts to detoxify the narrative around men as victims of sexual abuse has led to national changes to funding and reporting nationally and stimulating conversations that have resulted in year on year increases in reports from male survivors. At the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, he led inclusive thinking and ensured that the experiences of survivors with protected characteristics were sought and included so that their needs could be recognised in the reports and recommendations of that body.
