Susan Chen — Co-Founder

👋 Hi, I'm Susan Chen, Vedic Meditation teacher. I'm a Harvard graduate, former Morgan Stanley and Macquarie analyst... and I help high-performers break the cycle of stress-driven success. I teach high performers how to achieve sustainable high performance without burnout, "trying harder," or becoming someone else. 💡 Tell me if this sounds familiar: You've built an impressive career through determination and relentless effort. But lately, the formula that got you here feels like it's breaking you. You're excelling by every measure: hitting targets, leading teams, closing deals. Yet internally, you're running on fumes. The mental fog is real. Decision fatigue is constant. The mornings feel like an uphill climb. The evenings are impossible to wind down. You carry high-stakes decisions well beyond business hours. You've tried mindfulness apps, therapy, wellness retreats. They help temporarily... but you always slide back to baseline burnout. If that sounds like you, know this: You're not the problem. The "push through" model of success is. That's where I come in. My Approach: Calm on Demand I teach Vedic Meditation, a 5,000-year-old practice that works with your nervous system, not against it. No concentration required. No lifestyle overhaul needed. Just 20 minutes, twice a day. This isn't surface-level mindfulness. It's a cellular-level shift that turns "fight or flight" into "stay and play." What You'll Experience: ・Deep rest that eliminates years of accumulated stress ・Adaptive resilience to meet pressure with clarity ・Better sleep and real energy ・Effortless integration into your existing life ・Benefits that compound over time Real Results: My clients report sharper decision-making, improved sleep, enhanced creativity, and the ability to lead powerfully while enjoying their lives. They stop wearing exhaustion as a badge of honor. They reclaim their evenings. They show up as whole humans. 🏆 Why Work With Me? I've been in your shoes. I spent 14 years on Wall Street, ran a research team, and oversaw nearly $1 billion of risk. I thrived as an outperformer... until chronic migraines, fatigue, and insomnia became my new normal. I discovered Vedic Meditation at the apex of my career. Almost overnight, joy and energy returned. I went on to have my two best years on Wall Street. My approach is clear, elevated, and never woo. Designed for analytical minds who want real tools, not platitudes. You deserve a career that's both exceptional and sustainable. I'm here to help you build it. 📩 Ready to rise above? Send me a DM.

Corporate Wellbeing & Meditation Trainer

Mar 2024 – Present · 2 yrs · New York, New York, United States · On-site

Within five days of learning Vedic Meditation, executives report a 45% improvement in overall well-being, a 28% reduction in stress, and a 130% increase in sleep quality.
The relentless demands placed upon high-performance teams can result in fatigue, distraction, and a sense of being overwhelmed.
This cascade can erode mental clarity, lower morale, and make it hard for individuals to remain calm under high-pressure situations.
I train executives and their teams in a simple, mental meditation technique that:
✅ Rests the body much deeper than sleep
✅ Improves and eliminates insomnia
✅ Powerfully releases stress
✅ Decreases anxiety
✅ Improves mental clarity and decision-making skills
✅ Increases empathy and leadership capabilities
Learning Vedic Meditation is a simple process that creates resiliency in team members and across the organization.
Most importantly, supporting your employees and executives in feeling well-rested, less stressed, and more productive is a win-win for all.
To discuss bringing meditation into your organization and the transformation it will provide to your employees and your team, send me a message or email me at susan@meditatewithsusan.com.

Founder & Vedic Meditation Teacher

Apr 2017 – Present · 8 yrs 11 mos · New York, New York, United States · On-site

I help high performers eliminate stress and implement a system of rest that unlocks greater fulfillment, success, and satisfaction.
I know what it's like. After 14 years working on Wall Street in New York, I was approaching burnout. I turned to Vedic Meditation to find resilience in the chaos, and it was so effective that I left the corporate world to study and teach it full-time.
I understand that life can feel like a cycle of never-ending demands. No one should have to stay trapped in anxiety or rearrange their whole life to get through their days.
I teach Vedic Meditation in a 4-session live course. The practice is easy, and the results are extraordinary.
Here are your training options:
► Attend my 4-session In-Person Course
Learn with me in New York or Los Angeles. I teach Vedic Meditation over four consecutive days, 90 minutes each day. It will be the easiest meditation practice you'll learn, and you'll feel more energized and less stressed by the end of the course. Many employers will reimburse you for the cost of the course.
► Book me for a Private Course
Private training is ideal for busy professionals and executives looking for a tailored experience. If you would like me to travel to you, have a tight schedule to work with, or want to dive into specific focus areas, private trainings are a great alternative to the group course offering.
If you have any questions about meditation and how it can help eliminate daily stress, anxiety, and improve your sleep, send me a message, and I'll be happy to chat with you!
