Welcome to Suzanne Yates and Wellmother
Holistic Healing for All Life’s Cycles
My work supports all cycles of life, helping individuals cultivate balance and well-being at every stage. I specialise in Shiatsu, a holistic practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and informed by modern knowledge of the body to meet today’s needs. This is complemented by traditional massage, visualisation, breathwork, and movement practices inspired by yoga and Qi Gong. The Wellmother approach is designed to support your unique journey toward health and harmony. Explore the connection between body, mind, and energy in a deeply personalised and nurturing way.
At the heart of this approach is how our earliest years, especially our time in the womb has a profound influence on us for the rest of our life, but we can always reconnect with our potential to transform our present at any age. Life is cyclical and there are key moments when it is easier to transform, such as adolescence, becoming a parent, and the gifts of ageing. I like to call the changes in our fertility as we age our “Maturessence” ©.
The Journey of Life supported by Extraordinary Connections
Core tools of this approach, are the powerful Extraordinary Vessels of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). You can learn about them here in my blog but I also have a YouTube channel where there are many talks, visualisations, movement practices and demonstrations of shiatsu and massage.
I am writing a book about about how you can support ourselves at different stages of your life. If you prefer to read about my work go to my blog here but I also have a blog “Rewriting Your Life” Substack Blog “Rewriting your Story” with content which will be included in the book and welcomes feedback.

2025
We are now in the year of the Yin Wood Snake. Here is my blog.
I (Suzanne Yates) continue to offer individual on line consultations for clients and students because I continue to be impressed by their power and effectiveness. The session can include connecting with you and offering specific breathing, meditation and visualisations , talking you through self shiatsu and massage or simply holding space for you. Please email me directly if you are interested in this. I am seeing people in person too. If you want more information on my individual work, please visit my practice page.
We look forward to meeting you in person as well as on line, at some point in the future!
