- Susan Grimes
Susan “Yogi Suzi” Grimes became friends and neighbors with a couple of Tai Chi and Qi Gong Masters in 1988. With her friends, Susan took trips to Chinatown in search of high quality Chinese Herbs. The trio would bring their herbs home and make soups and congees for the family while talking about the healing properties of the herbs they were eating.
From 1983 to 2006, Susan was the co-owner of a bookstore and while working she found herself gravitating towards books on Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as Ayurveda and Yoga. From the year 2000 until 2006 Susan became a Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher as well as Certified by Yoga Alliance at the 500 hour level. . . She taught yoga as Yogi Suzi for over seven years and affectionately became known as Yogi Suzi by friends, family, and the small town folk residing near her home in Northern California.
These days she is most often known as Suzi and she loves her work at Traditional Botanical Medicine. “The herbs are the true teachers,” Suzi says. At Traditional Botanical Medicine, Suzi takes pride in keeping the pharmacy clean, organized, and well stocked so that orders can ship out when placed.
