Susan Stone, Event Planner, and Energy Healer

Susan  is a seasoned Event Producer with over 20 years of experience, specializing in creative projects within the Jewish community. With a strong foundation in the visual and healing arts, she holds certifications as a Yoga Teacher and in Mind-body Healing Therapy.After the events of October 7, her once close-knit support group of healers disbanded due to interpersonal conflicts. As Susan shared her experience, she discovered that such ruptures were becoming alarmingly common, leaving many in the Jewish community without access to their usual mental health and wellness support.Reflecting on the lack of voices addressing this growing crisis—particularly the mental health needs of Israelis directly impacted by the war—Susan felt compelled to act. She responded to Rona Lalezary’s call for help in organizing *Mental Health IsReal*'s inaugural event and continues to lend her expertise to programming future events and to growing Mental Health IsReal as an organization.
