Hi, I’m Sue. Pull up a chair; the kettle’s on.

This is my cozy corner for stories, crows, curiosity, and the little everyday moments that make life feel magical. If you’re here for a book, Reiki and Akashic work, or simply a good story, I’m glad you found your way here.

Live and let live, just tidy up afterwards.

Self-guided support

Two gentle pathways to explore at home.

Choose a guided reset when your mind feels scattered, or a deeper journey when you’re ready to release old patterns and reconnect with your own energy.

Five-day guided reset

Meditation Matrix Reset

Five guided meditations to quiet mental noise, reconnect with your body, and return to a calmer, more grounded state.

Deeper energetic clearing

Soul Freedom Ritual

A deeper journey to release old contracts and attachments, reclaim your personal power, and return to your own energy.

In-person support

Growing spiritually? You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Spiritual growth can bring new questions, changes, and patterns to make sense of. I offer in-person appointments at my Vital Village studio in Winnipeg, with Reiki and Akashic Records work to support you as you explore what’s unfolding and find a next step that feels right.

I also offer Zoom appointments for clients outside Winnipeg, including internationally. When booking, just mention in the comments that you’ll need a Zoom link.

Ready when you are.

See available times and choose an appointment that works for you.

From my writing desk

Essays for the curious, the tender-hearted, and the in-between.

On Medium, I follow the questions that keep tapping at the window: who we are becoming, what we inherit, and how we find our way home to ourselves.

Featured essay: Ancestral Resonance

Remembering Who You Are Without Losing Yourself — some feelings seem to arrive with a story larger than our own. This essay explores ancestral connection with gentleness, curiosity, and room for our own lives.

A little about me

The stories beneath the surface have always called to me.

I’m Sue: an author, Reiki Master Teacher, and the creator of Akashic Reiki. I have a soft spot for crows, coffee, and those ordinary little moments that suddenly feel full of wonder. My work brings all of that together with a lifetime of supporting people.

I write as Sue Crielaard and publish fiction as Seren Crowe. Whether I’m sharing a book, an essay, or a healing practice, I hope it helps you feel a little more curious, connected, and at home in yourself.

Sometimes a story opens a door. Sometimes you want someone beside you.

When you’re ready, you can book a session, explore a class, or simply ask a question. There’s no pressure to choose before you’re ready.

Once a month

Join us for a monthly Sound Bath & Akashic Journey.

Two facilitators smile in front of a sound bath setup with bowls, candles, and floor mats.

Once a month, I join Karen Beauchemin of Tranquility Sound Baths & More for a gentle Akashic Records journey held in the soothing sounds of crystal bowls and other instruments. It’s a chance to settle, turn inward, and make room for what you’re ready to release or carry forward.

No experience is needed, and sharing is always optional. You’re welcome to simply rest and receive.

The lantern is lit. The kettle is warm.

Thanks for being here. Follow a book, an essay, or a path that feels like yours.

“The ordinary moments are often where the magic begins.”
