"That's Wisdom"; says Diana Page Jordan at dianapagejordan.com I've heard of Suzanne Jauchius for years, but we ve never met. Which is odd, because doing what I do interviews you d think we would have met that way. I have interviewed just about every intuitive in the area, not to mention across the country...Sylvia Browne, Laura Day, Sue Storm, probably a dozen more. Around August, I saw Suzanne s name posted in connection with a local bookstore, and I sensed the desire to meet her, whisper through me. I did not know she had a new book. Out of the blue, about a week ago, Suzanne's publicist sent me the review copy of You Know Your Way Home. I read it in one gulp just now, stunned, mostly, for how similar our paths have been. Abusive childhoods. Seeing things. Codependency. Multiple relationships with abusive men. The sad circle of sensitive females. Claiming our power. Her autobiography rings as a declaration of freedom. It's a story about clearing out the unhealthy stuff, boldly striking out independently, declaring to the world that you are on your path. And, drawing irrefutable boundaries. I celebrate her take on the old saw when the student is ready, the teacher appears. That, actually, is how I feel about all the authors who came to town at the right time, exactly at the time I had been dealing with their unique topic. My conversations with Melody Beattie (codependency), Debbie Ford (shadow work), and even Nancy Cartwright the voice of Bart Simpson (freeing up to play), among others chiseled me from the frozen place where I was riveted. Suzanne wrote, referring to that old saw and she should be saluted for her words: It should say When the student s awake, she sees the teacher everywhere. That's wisdom. I was struck again when Suzanne mentioned her friendship with Jeanne Boylan. I adored Jeanne. I met her nine years ago when her book Portraits of Guilt came out, and she was on book tour. Jeanne's heart-stopping talent lies in drawing police sketches of violent criminals without the pick-a-nose feature. She simply has a conversation with witnesses, and draws what she sees. We connected deeply during the interview she felt like an old friend whom I wanted to never leave. Suzanne's stories of her psychic hits are stunning. Because she lives not far from me in the Portland, Oregon area, and I have been a news reporter and anchor for all my life spent here, I felt struck hard by her roles in finding at least two serial killers who preyed on children and women. I sat in the courtroom, hearing grisly testimony about the Wesley Alan Dodd case. Suzanne saw Dodd s car, and predicted he would be caught trying to abduct another child. I remember all too clearly interviewing police about the attempted abduction of a kid in a Vancouver movie theatre. The very one that led to Dodd s arrest. I ve noticed that the more healing work I do, the more clearly I can see or hear. Some people tell me I m intuitive, and they ask me to read for them, so I tell them what I hear, for free, and I couch my answers with a request to not bet on what I say. We all are at least somewhat intuitive. Suzanne s gift is great. DIANA PAGE JORDAN --dianapagejordan.com/2009/11/06/intuitive-you-know-your-way-home-suzanne-jauchius-book-review/

She has an undeniable presence writes Kelly Jo Horton ;The Portlander; at theportlander.com/psychic-suzanne-shows-the-way-home/ Suzanne Jauchius was just eight years old when her mother told her she would no longer be allowed to attend birthday parties if she continued to bring home all of the prizes from the guessing games, because this was not normal. Suzanne didn t know it at the time, but she would later grow up to make a living using the very skill she was once chastised for seeing things that no one else could see. Now an enthusiastic 60, at an age when most people are slowing down or retiring, Jauchius has just launched a publishing company and released her memoir, You Know Your Way Home. This is a book that makes you think on every page and forces you to examine your own life. It chronicles her life and career as a professional psychic, where she uses her psychometric abilities holding a personal object such as a watch or ring to see pictures of what s happening in someone s life. Her clients are business professionals, law enforcement officials, search and rescue teams and the curious worldwide. The book opens with a missing persons account: My God! Follow that car! I shouted, pointing emphatically beyond the gravel parking lot to the road ahead. My friend Debbi shook her head. Uh, excuse me. You re the only one who can see it, she said with a bemused smile as she turned the car onto the deserted road. It was October, 1989. I d been asked by Debbi, who worked with a local search and rescue team, to assist with the search for a little boy who had been abducted. The missing person was 4-year old Lee Iseli, the last victim of serial killer Westley Allan Dodd. This and other stories from her career are featured in the book, yet at its core the memoir focuses on Jauchius journey to find herself as she bounced from one bad relationship to the next and struggled to break destructive patterns she had accepted as the norm. This is why so many people identify with her story. In a way I feel like I m speaking the secret for a whole generation, says Jauchius. It feels mostly like empowerment. People read the book men and women and their reaction is an ah-ha moment of Oh my God I need to start setting boundaries. Oh my God I think I m co-dependent. Oh my God I didn t know that was unacceptable. Over and over people come to Suzanne after reading the book and say, This is my story. How did you get into my head like that? Why write a book at this point in her life? You accumulate yourself through the years and you get to a certain age where you re like, you know I ve made it this far, this feels good, and I m doing what I love and now what? And when I asked that question I kept hearing, tell your story, if for no one else for your grandchildren. What started as a journal for her grandchildren became a book. The road to telling her story wasn t easy. Unable to find a taker for her manuscript, Jauchius decided to start her own publishing company. Taking this step at 60 was terrifying, but it was an investment she made in herself, and she has never looked back. This is my life purpose, and once I started the process I never questioned it. The company is aptly named Bree Noa, which means second wind in Gaelic. The investment paid off. In the months since the official book launch, You Know Your Way Home has been doing very well. New Renaissance (bookstore) says it s the fastest selling book they ve had in two years, says Jauchius, with the excitement of a child. Her consultation business is booming as well. Hour-long sessions with Suzanne are scheduled out months in advance. She has a monthly stint with Daria, Mitch and Ted on 105.1 The Buzz that has rocketed her to psychic super-stardom in Portlan --theportlander.com/psychic-suzanne-shows-the-way-home/
