35 years counseling restaurateurs, chefs, and operators.

About Susie Biehler

Early on in my business, I came to a clear understanding of a very simple truth. My purpose was simply to serve. For the past 35 years that’s exactly what I did – counseling restaurateurs, chefs, and operators to remain true to their home-grown sensibilities, to be clear about their intentions and to make steady passage through all the twists and turns, honoring their individual path to success. This was my mission that framed my work in Restaurant Marketing.

Two years ago, at my PR firm’s 35-year mark, I pivoted from Restaurant PR, and circled back to my early love of photography. In doing so, I encountered an amazing discovery – integrating mindfulness into my art. I have become a practitioner of intentional seeing by demonstrating how photography can be used as a meditative practice to ultimately help mitigate anxiety, depression and other mental disorders.

Mindfulness Consulting

Integrating Mindfulness in your day-to-day

According to OneMind.org, 25% of people worldwide suffer from at least one mental health condition in their lifetime. $3 trillion is the global economic burden of mental illness, and it is projected to triple to $9 Trillion by 2030.

The restaurant industry has just come through an unprecedented, surreal time with pandemic challenges, closures, staff upheaval and health safety concerns.
Mindfulness in and of itself is extremely important and clearly understood by many leaders as necessary to be effective and competitive. By utilizing the mindfulness strategies that I teach, you can help your staff cope with these changing and uncertain times.

It is important to consider integrating mindfulness in your day to day — integration with staff and guests — it will absolutely become a catalyst for change if you properly embrace it … and I can assist in making that happen.

Suzie Biehler Photography

My early photography was very personal and intimate, and the camera allowed me to establish an otherwise-elusive emotional connection with my subjects, who were mostly family. Years later, on a whim, I visited a tea leaf reader who simply told me to get to the sea where I could become part of the expansiveness of the water. I took her advice, and it has informed my work ever since.
