About Susan

---

Susan Berke created The 11:11 Portal on Grant Avenue in downtown Novato with the intention of bringing spiritual awakening to "Main Street" — offering holistic and spiritual practitioners a beautiful, professional space to serve, while also hosting community circles, empowerment gatherings, and transformational events designed to foster connection, clarity, and conscious growth.

Her professional path began in corporate leadership as an executive with American Express before transitioning into entrepreneurship and spiritual leadership. She later founded Marin Mystic Treasures, a premier metaphysical retail store in Novato, and previously owned Simply Inspired Spa, a large wellness center in Mill Valley, California, where she developed and led multi-practitioner healing environments rooted in integrity and transformation.

Susan’s background includes extensive experience in personal and professional development. She taught leadership and communication programs through Dale Carnegie Training and coached relationship dynamics through Mars Venus Coaching, founded by John Gray.

Today, Susan blends grounded leadership with spiritual awareness to create intentional circle spaces where insight becomes embodiment. Her facilitation honors both the nervous system and the soul — guiding participants through transition, awakening, and identity evolution with steadiness, discernment, and deep presence. She believes spiritual growth belongs not on the fringe, but integrated into everyday life and community.
