Suzanne Dunbar-Stanley
Founder
Vukiza is an inclusive healing space, supporting those who are on their journey towards healing themselves through embracing vulnerability. Community healing is the guiding principle — this teaches us that as we grow and heal individually, we contribute to the collective growth and healing of others.
Suzanne has over 20 years of experience supporting women and youth, and is a certified yoga practitioner.
I am dedicated to empowering others by creating safe spaces where they can rediscover their true selves and claim their authentic strength.
I create a calming space for participants to decompress and unplug from the many demands and challenging distractions of life and support them in reconnecting and redirecting that energy inward — back to self.
In my experience, Black Women and women of colour have very few spaces where we feel seen, heard, and understood.
At Vukiza, we create safe spaces for self exploration from a solution-focused and wellness perspective; releasing attachments to past traumas is the first step in gaining clarity in recognizing your inner strength.

Vukiza’s Healing circle retreats are intimate spaces where small groups of like hearted people gather to step into community healing.
The intention is to be in community with others where you can freely explore and embrace healing and vulnerability without judgement.
A variety of healing modalities are introduced at each themed retreat which include breathwork and restorative meditative yoga.
These magical spaces allow you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself through self-reflection, stillness and sharing. You will leave filled with an awakened sense of mind, body, and spirit connection.
My clients have shared that they feel safe and supported through our authentic connections. I bring my full heart to hold space for you during our time spent together. You will feel supported and lovingly challenged. Your commitment to healing will clear space to reveal the next step on your journey's pathway. The answers are within you.
We offer a variety of healing modalities which include:
• Healing Circle Retreats and Group Wellness workshops
• Guided Meditation
• Restorative Yoga
The goal is to create spaces where rest is not only encouraged but explored as a vital component of well-being. By understanding what's blocking you from fully embracing rest, you can then work towards deeper healing and balance.
