Move forward to your genius potential.

Coaching
Express your movement potential, on and off stage.
Movement can mean many things: moving with more ease in your body, moving forward through the challenges in your life, or starting a movement with your work. My coaching bridges all three. We begin with how you move and how you show up, verbally and non-verbally, so you can embody presence wherever you go.
For over 30 years, I have been honored to coach clients to move with greater efficiency and to express themselves well non-verbally.
Mentoring
Build a business that doesn’t burn out your joy.
For many years, I didn’t think of my work as a business, because it felt more like a Calling. Then I discovered there is a name for people like us: soulpreneurs. We don’t grow by hustling harder; we expand our income and impact when we put our well-being first and build a business that fits the life we want to live. My Chakras of Business course and monthly live mentoring calls will help you become a soulpreneur too.
Join over 600 students in my Chakras of Business course and mentoring program who are answering their higher Calling to share their work with the world. Together, we are empowering each other to heal the hustle out of entrepreneurship.

Speaking
Let’s co-create an empowering event together.
In the age of AI, we are speaking with each other less than ever, and teams feel it. Your next event is a chance to bring your people back into the room, and back into real conversation. As a communication scientist (PhD), leadership coach (PCC) and performing artist (MFA), I collaborate with you to design an interactive keynote, workshop or retreat where your team can strengthen their verbal and non-verbal communication skills, build trust and co-create innovative solutions.
Join over 100 government agencies and organizations I have been honored to help connect, communicate and innovate together.

Meet Dr. Suzie Carmack
Dr. Suzie Carmack is on a mission to move humans forward to their genius potential. Her work explores movement in two ways: as physical activity that helps us move through our day with more ease, and as a powerful means of non-verbal expression. In 2013, her daily movement break practice (now called Genius Breaks) caught the attention of the Pan American Health Organization / World Health Organization, who then invited her to partner with them to raise global awareness of sitting disease and to promote the importance of daily movement to prevent it.
In addition to serving as a Senior Scholar with the Center for the Advancement of Well-Being at George Mason University, Dr. Carmack has published multiple peer-reviewed research articles and is the best-selling author of Genius Breaks, The Well-Being Ultimatum, Yoga for One and Chakras of Business. As the founder of YogaMedCo and the creator of the YogaMedCo app (iOS and Android), she moves patients living with chronic disease, and the professionals who serve them, to improved well-being through online courses and continuing education programs. In January 2027, she launches her podcast, The Genius Break Room, where she talks with geniuses from all walks of professional life about how they broke through the limiting beliefs that held them back, then co-creates a real-time Genius Break with each guest.
When she isn’t coaching, speaking, co-creating theatre as a performing artist or mentoring fellow soulpreneurs, Dr. Carmack loves moving her own body through yoga and Pilates, traveling, and enjoying time with her husband, adult children and grandchildren.
