Helping Leaders, Healers & Entrepreneurs Build the Inner Vessel for Success with Inner Peace

 

Theologian • Trauma Specialist • International Speaker

I am Suze Maclaine Pont, a theologian, trauma specialist, and international speaker.

I help doctors, leaders, therapists, and entrepreneurs reconnect success with peace. Instead of endlessly fixing what’s broken, I use the metaphor of shipbuilding: we build strong inner vessels that can carry us safely through life’s storms.

My work bridges psychology, spirituality, and lived experience to show how trauma becomes a gateway to resilience, meaning, and faith.
