Find Your IKiGAi Paperback
Suzanne Visser's life and work embody the essence of ikigai, a sense of purpose woven through presence, connection, and action. A legal scholar, publisher, and certified somatic practitioner, Suzanne brings a wealth of expertise to her coaching and consulting practice, Find Your iKiGAi, based in Central Australia. With over 25 years of experience in law, sustainability, and community leadership, she has guided high-performing executives, artists, and those recovering from burnout toward lives of balance and fulfilment. Her eleven years in Japan, during the vibrant economic bubble, shaped her understanding of ikigai as a lived practice. Influences such as her calligraphy teacher and the Body Weather Laboratory in Japan left a lasting imprint.
Fluent in five languages, Suzanne’s global perspective is enriched by her extensive travels and her role as a sustainable justice expert and managing director of three successful businesses.
Visser has lived in Central Australia since 2000. She now writes in English. Visser is a versatile and productive writer of fiction and non-fiction.
